Overanalysing the length of leggings, Liz A?

I wouldn't shorten them unless you want them much shorter like calf length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175875 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 04:08:53 +0000 Liz A. 1175875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha mixed opinions I see. &nbsp;I much preferred the shorter length looking in the mirror, but looking at the pictures I'm just not sure. &nbsp;Rabbit has a good point about leg shortening, which I certainly don't need. &nbsp;My legs are already quite short for my height. &nbsp;Yikes, these pics are making me self conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175687 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:31:45 +0000 fuzzylogic 1175687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the shorter length. rabbit makes a good point about potential leg shortening properties, though! Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175673 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 01:09:38 +0000 rabbit 1175673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's tough. &nbsp;With some tops I just pull them up in the crotch area a bit more and they seem to stay put and not show the higher pleats, but that top is so precise so it's a bit more difficult to move volume up this way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Generally I think some ankle scrunch is fine, and can look good. &nbsp;I've also seen leggings where they are tucked around the heel, kind of like a stirrup pant (see below), and I've done that with a pair of long leggings when I wanted them to fit smoothly into oxfords or something. &nbsp;Warning though, it can abrade your leggings a little under the heel, if you then decide you want to wear them pulled up again. &nbsp;</p> <p>To my eye, I think&nbsp;shorter leggings with a longer top&nbsp;make your legs look shorter unless you are wearing heels or want a little slice of skin to show over the top of a boot or something. &nbsp;But that's just my personal preference. (It's different for me&nbsp;from cropped skinnies, where you often see the belt so get more length showing at the top of the leg). &nbsp;All the above is just personal preference though, so take with a grain of salt.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175660 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:57:51 +0000 Deborah 1175660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear leggings quite a bit and I actually like a bit of scrunch at the ankle:)&nbsp;&nbsp; I am short too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175658 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:55:27 +0000 Liz A. 1175658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I just clarified my question up top. &nbsp;I do have a pair of cropped leggings. &nbsp;I'm just wondering how long full length leggings should be. &nbsp;Like all of mine have scrunch on my shorty legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175625 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:27:52 +0000 Kristin L 1175625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure what kind of leggings you have, but they may not respond well to being hemmed. I think that length works with your wearing. Instead of hemming those, maybe you could add a pair of cropped leggings? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175620 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:22:15 +0000 Deborah 1175620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the overall proportions of the outfit.&nbsp; In this instance I think you can wear the leggings full length as in the photos and I also think shorter length, say 10/12 cm below the knee could work also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-most-flattering-length-for-leggings#post-1175615 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 00:18:45 +0000 Liz A. 1175615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which length do you think looks best? &nbsp;I'm thinking about getting these leggings hemmed a little to the shorter length. &nbsp;Advisable or no?</p> <p>Edit: Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. &nbsp;One leg is rolled up a bit here. &nbsp;That's the length I'm thinking of hemming to. &nbsp;All my pants are usually too long because of my short legs, so that's why I'm wondering.</p>
