Sacrilege. I wore pants and jeans with built in pegging.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130634 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:44:09 +0000 Greyscale 1130634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I think April nailed it - I want the option of uncuffed with scrunch or cuffed.</p> <p>The jeans in the second photo are different, cropped gray jeans (I was just showing off the sandals I wore yesterday).&nbsp;I hadn't realized how similar they look in the photos. Those do stay pegged, like Missey said! A friend and I were laughing about this trend cycle&nbsp;- t<span>wo decades of thinking "why did we do that??" and then suddenly "look at this perfect solution I found for my jeans!"<br /></span><br />And Ceit, I'm not surprised you have the same ones! Aren't they great? Looking forward to seeing some summer looks in a few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130380 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:46:43 +0000 Missey 1130380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you ddin't "peg" your pants in the 80's?&nbsp; That tuck fold will stay all day! ;)<br />Greyscale, I'm with everyone on this...hem them long, they are thin enough to not look bulky when folded or cuffed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130363 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:17:26 +0000 Angie 1130363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those are bootcuts - not straight legs. And they look great.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the way you tapered them in #2. Does the fold stay like that?&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote floor length and the option of cuffing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130323 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 14:37:51 +0000 Anonymous 1130323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also agreeing with April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130282 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:49:42 +0000 carter 1130282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with April as well. These jeans are insanely flattering on you. Wear them more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130268 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:30:02 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1130268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans! Fit looks perfect on you. I like them cuffed. Very cool with the sandals. And socks! Not a tragedy at all. I find that combo rather poetic:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130264 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:24:31 +0000 Suz 1130264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What April said. That way you will have options -- which is terrific, because they are great jeans and look really good on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130235 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:54:51 +0000 Aquamarine 1130235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with April. I would hem them long enough to cover the heels of your boots, which then gives you enough to cuff for other shoes. Nice jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130228 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 12:44:12 +0000 April 1130228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for floor-length in your boots, with the option for cuffing. &nbsp;There will be some "scrunch" in the front if they're nearly to the floor in the back, but I like that in straight legs. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130201 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 11:04:41 +0000 Anonymous 1130201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same sandals in patent leather :)</p> <p>I like the jeans cuffed too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130195 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 09:28:30 +0000 Debra 1130195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not to sure about correct lengths but they are great looking jeans and I like them cuffed. Those sandals are fabulous.<br /> Sorry not much help </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/time-to-hem-these-jeans---how-long#post-1130164 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 07:11:30 +0000 Greyscale 1130164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These straight-leg jeans are not the most stylish thing in my closet, but I really like them. They're old paper-denim-cloth brand jeans, 100% cotton. I never hemmed them - they're really long. In this photo I have them cuffed to wear with my combat boots. (That's actually 4 layers in the cuff - I make one big cuff, then fold it up again. Less bulky than rolling.)</p> <p>How long should these be for PPL? I wear them with flat boots, Converse, or my chunky sandals with a thick classic Dr Martens sole. I think they look good cuffed, but there's too much fabric now, so I should shorten them at least a bit. Should I go for&nbsp;floor-length in boots, then have the option of cuffing them shorter? Or leave them longer than that and always cuff them?</p> <p>Bonus photo: the sandals, which I listed as one of my best new things of 2013, shown on me&nbsp;here with omg-so-90s scrunched wool&nbsp;socks and pegged jeans! Fashion tragedy or comedy? </p>
