And what shoes you’ll be wearing. I think a flare should be about 1/4” off the ground. A straight leg has a bunch of options, from cropped to where it breaks as it hits your foot. No easy answer for this one until you put the, on (with footwear) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-target-hem-length-for-on-trend-pants#post-1966874 Fri, 19 Oct 2018 23:20:28 +0000 nemosmom 1966874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hoping to pick up a pair of jeans, maybe a pant or cord in the latest flare leg style, but I have no idea where the bottom hem should hit (I will undoubtedly need alterations as is the case for most of my bottoms).</p> <p>For a flare leg jean, do I want them to touch the top of my foot? Ankle? Somewhere in-between? </p> <p>For a straight leg high rise cord, do I want them ankle length? Lower? </p>
