I don't like too much so much break on the front of the shoe, but like it long enough to cover the heel a bit in the back. Straighter legs are hard to get right. This is what I have done with some pants.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/militaryslant-hem">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....yslant-hem</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856354 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 02:35:45 +0000 Meredith 1856354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brinkle: Thanks. I will definitely check how they work with my heeled boots before I do any hemming.</p> <p>KM: I overlooked your comment about the silver shoes. My best advice is to not overthink styling them. Treat them as neutrals. They felt like a little much at first so I just wore them to run errands but I’ve become more confident with them over time and will wear them pretty much anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856351 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 02:16:38 +0000 binkle 1856351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or, of you are cool with it, wear higher heels. These jeans are beautiful and your legs will look 10 miles long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856328 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 23:43:33 +0000 Meredith 1856328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. Sounds like the clear consensus is too long!</p> <p>Angie: I was hoping you would chime in on this. So should I allow some length to scrunch or hem to graze the top of the foot, or....? The jeans are JBrand. And the shoes are actually loafers but the pant length really does make them look like mules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856326 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 23:27:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 1856326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate thought was too long also but otherwise great! I have a pair that is slightly too long as well but naughty me I just leave them like that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856322 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 23:10:40 +0000 K.M. 1856322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this post as I also am grappling with the full-length (or slightly over-long) trend, which appeals to me but which I find hard to put in practice. <b>Angie</b>, I think we all love your exacting and precise eye for PPL! </p> <p>Also inspired by your silver shoes. I got a pair recently and haven't figured out how to wear it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856254 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 17:35:30 +0000 Joyce B 1856254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie.

Apart from that, you look great. Fab silver shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856224 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:41:55 +0000 Laura G 1856224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great (polished) outfit that just needs the pants hemmed a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856219 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:07:19 +0000 Angie 1856219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joyce</b>, pants that width and length get caught under your heels with all open back footwear as you stride - very annoying. (Like mules, etc.). Open back shoes are best with tapered hems, or cropped lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856215 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 15:51:22 +0000 Joyce B 1856215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, can you elaborate on your comment about not wearing the pants with open back shoes? Is that about mules? Or about sling backs although those are not much for sale these days?<br /> What would be the proper pant length for the above types of shoes?<br /> Meredith, your outfit looks lovely and the pants just need hemming. Sorry that I highjacked your post a little bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856211 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 15:44:51 +0000 Angie 1856211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Yes.

Who made them, <b>Meredith</b>?</p> <p>You look really pretty and polished. I LOVE IT.</p> <p>You need a few inches off the hem here. Don't wear them with open back shoes though.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856185 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:45:45 +0000 JAileen 1856185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are too long. I had a similar issue when I had a last minute invite to a banquet. My pants looked the same. I like your outfit, especially the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856183 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:37:08 +0000 Janet 1856183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like the pants need to be hemmed a bit to fall in a cleaner line without so much bunching. A side view would be helpful. Are the hems dragging on the floor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856182 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:35:41 +0000 Meredith 1856182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie had a good overview of wide legs and flats but I thought there was another thread with visuals of slimmer silhouettes. Anyone remember? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trend-troubleshooting#post-1856180 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:32:03 +0000 Meredith 1856180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m interested in the full-length pant tends for winter because it is practical for our cold, dry climate. I think my first attempt fell flat and am interested in ideas on what went wrong.</p> <p>Pants too long? Pants need to be either wider or skinnier to pull off the look? Or maybe this is right but the look is just too messy for my polished style.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
