(Although I guess I could wear the platforms with the cropped flares as well) </p> <p>I guess my problem is that I don't wear high heels where an inch or two of the toe box peeks out. My "heels" are elevated flats. I'm going to have to get a photo or two I think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-the-flared-jeans#post-1628568 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 22:28:19 +0000 Aziraphale 1628568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never been able to get a pair of flares to work with both flats and heels. If they're hemmed for flats, they look too short and goofy with heels, and if they're hemmed for heels, they drag on the floor with flats.</p> <p>In the end I just decided that I would only wear flares and bootcuts with mid-height heels (about 2.5") or platforms/flatforms. They don't look great on me with flats anyway, because I'm short.&nbsp;</p> <p>You might have to choose. ;-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-the-flared-jeans#post-1628564 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 22:16:56 +0000 Brooklyn 1628564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a problem with flares. You have to choose what height of shoe you think you will wear them with most. I have mine hemmed for mid height heels - which means they are too long for wearing with flat shoes. Which is kind of a shame. But I can probably get away with a higher heel.<br /> The cork platforms sound like a good pairing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-the-flared-jeans#post-1628504 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 19:32:12 +0000 BrieN 1628504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So. Once I wash and dry my new white flares I will need to get them hemmed (they are several inches too long now). &nbsp;I have several cork wedge type platform shoes from the last few seasons and maybe the silver topshop jolene shoes as well to wear with them (if that would look ok?). I was thinking I'd bring the lowest shoes I will wear them with and hem almost to the ground wearing those, but that would mean dragging on the ground in bare feet. &nbsp;</p> <p>What's the right length for these? </p>
