Worth a try. The first pair looks good.<br /> Interesting, it kind of turns your straight leg jeans into baby bootcut jeans, don’t you think? I always liked the idea of baby bootcuts but I could never get the flared part to sit right on my boots. It would always end up bunching up. This solves the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958849 Sat, 22 Sep 2018 12:46:41 +0000 Helena 1958849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! They are flattering and fit perfectly with your style. The split makes them look modern and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958848 Sat, 22 Sep 2018 12:44:58 +0000 kkards 1958848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the black with the pink metallic flats and the metallic booties. great way to update a old pair of jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958846 Sat, 22 Sep 2018 12:39:15 +0000 cjh 1958846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed on the picture Carla attached, the inside seam is split, not the outside. Maybe you could try that on the second (blue) pair? </p> <p>My favorite is the first pair with the flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958778 Sat, 22 Sep 2018 05:00:37 +0000 Anonymous 1958778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958771 Sat, 22 Sep 2018 03:30:16 +0000 cindysmith 1958771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pics 1/2 are in a grey area for me. I prefer mine longer, but they certainly don't look like floods to me either.</p> <p>They are kick-a$$ with those metallic pink flats</p> <p>The pants are keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958724 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 21:22:26 +0000 Janet 1958724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, same here -- height and inseam! I need tall lengths when available, and then can hem maybe 1/2" to an inch, depending. I have some of those shorter ankle length pants, but prefer them to be narrow, and even then I often wear them with booties to disguise the length and create a longer line.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958719 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 21:10:34 +0000 Carla 1958719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, the split hem trend seems to be across all pant leg lengths. There seem to be just as many cropped versions as long versions. Victoria Beckham was showing them for S/S 2019 RTW - though Celine did their version in 2016. </p> <p>Like you, PPL is a sore spot. At 5ft 7in I'm not a true tall, however 30in inseams are crops on me and 32 are ankle amd 34 are 'flood'. I had a pair of jeans that I extended with a strip of plaid. I wonder of that trend will make a comeback? And the Bay City Rollers, too!</p> <p>I like the dark ones just fine as you've styled them. Try cropping the lighter ones (or pass on them if they are uncomfortable.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958715 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 20:55:44 +0000 Anonymous 1958715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha . I know , I didnt articulate that well at all . I was referring to the slit itself , not the trend in general . Regardless - I vote for the black pair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958669 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 18:31:10 +0000 Janet 1958669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the looser leg fit on the black ones works better.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the trend itself, well, what trend IS necessary? Why is this any less necessary than, say, cropped flares, or floor-sweeping flares? Just playing devil's advocate. I figured I'd try it on some old straight-leg jeans that I always had trouble styling. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I can donate if they don't work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958665 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 18:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 1958665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;The black ones look to be a better fit on you and the leg hangs a bit nicer. &nbsp;I'm not particularly in love with the slit side , or front for that matter, &nbsp;trend though - just seems unnecessary, if that makes sense? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958656 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 17:28:45 +0000 Janet 1958656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, it sounds like the black ones are worth keeping and wearing with flats or low-contrast footwear. </p> <p>Should I give away the COH jeans (the blue ones)? Or try them again with a higher split and low-contrast footwear? I have plenty of jeans, so don't be shy about telling me if I should just let those go. They're a little snug right now and don't have much stretch, so not exactly favorites.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958652 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 17:22:49 +0000 Angie 1958652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Tippie :)</p> <p>I like the black best with either the flats or LOW contrast boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958647 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 17:14:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 1958647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of these.l think that you ve done a good job with these,the dog looks bored though with these sartorial questions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958639 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:48:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1958639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Well... no expert here, but I do have an opinion :)</div><div>I like the first pair.&nbsp; Angie may say they are short, but to me that length looks good with how the pants break in the front, and having a bit of "air" at the heel looks fine to my eye with this length... and is also more practical.&nbsp; I like skimming the ground when the leg is wider and fuller, but am fine with this on a narrower leg.<br /></div><div>Something is off with the second pair.&nbsp; I think they are maybe skinnier?&nbsp; Or is it different boots?&nbsp; They are just not falling as nicely. This could be rectified by raising the split.&nbsp; What do you think of the idea of having the front shorter than the back?&nbsp; didn't AG do that with her jeans at one point?&nbsp; Not sure it's "you", but it is an option... <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958637 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:43:51 +0000 karen13 1958637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m terrible at ppl, but like both of these. I think the COH needs more of a split to hang properly. I will say that the longer the better after looking at Angie’s bootcuts. Do you have a lower heeled shoefor the first pair. Or maybe sneakers a la the new trend with bootcuts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958636 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:43:18 +0000 Janet 1958636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the black jeans with a flat, and a higher heeled boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/split-hem-jeans-and-ppl#post-1958634 Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:29:36 +0000 Janet 1958634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In optimistic anticipation of cooler weather, I decided to pull out all of my jeans and try them on. A couple of pairs had gone in the donate pile, which is good, but I have a question now.</p> <p>I love the look of the split hem trend, and I DIYed this old pair of Kuts (I think they’re 8 years old??) to release the hem and split the sides, thinking it might make them a bit more current and wearable — I hadn’t really worn them in years as the straight leg style they were. </p> <p>Trying them on now with a low-heeled pair of boots (the way I’d be most likely to wear them), I wonder if this length looks ok, or do they look too short? I’m really sensitive to too-short jeans since I’ve lived a lifetime of avoiding the “flood” look.</p> <p>I’m also including a photo of some COH straight legs I also did a DIY split hem on. I’m thinking the split needs to be higher, but again, what about the length? </p> <p>What is PPL when it comes to these new hem styles? </p>
