That might help if we could see them a little shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1042024 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:45:40 +0000 Amy 1042024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She means the area over your foot where the pant no longer hangs straight down but bends to accommodate your foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1042005 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:31:30 +0000 pastrygirl 1042005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kellygirl, what do you mean by too much break? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041918 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:48:11 +0000 Amy 1041918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The length looks good to me. Love those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041890 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:33:07 +0000 kellygirl 1041890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the heels. I'm definitely not a PPL expert--heck, I don't even own slacks. My only point of reference is if I saw these on DH, we would both agree there is too much break. I don't know if that really translates to women's pants lengths though. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. I hope Angie chimes in :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041887 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:23:58 +0000 Lyn D. 1041887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length is O.K., although it is hard to see the back properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041880 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:02:47 +0000 Liz A. 1041880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're a tad too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041876 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:44:37 +0000 pastrygirl 1041876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kellygirl, that's about as high a heel I can wear. I was wondering if there was too much pooling. Pre-YLF I wouldn't have given it a second thought.</p> <p>AviaMariah, they might be touching the floor. I can't tell, and asking my husband to check has proven futile in the past. I'm not sure why, but he really, really can't see that kind of thing. Nor can he photograph it. I have NO idea why, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041863 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:33:01 +0000 kellygirl 1041863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fine from the side but it seems like a hair too much pooling going on in the forward facing picture. Can you wear a slightly taller heel with the pants? Of course, if you didn't ask about pant length, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041862 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:31:33 +0000 AviaMariah 1041862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about that outfit. &nbsp;I'm also not sure on PPL. &nbsp;I can't tell, are they touching the ground in the back? I'm thinking if they are they should be just a touch shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041859 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:28:58 +0000 Thistle 1041859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am terrible on PPL, so I will let another fabber comment on that. Still trying to learn it myself!</p> <p>Love that gorgeous sweater! So pretty and bright. Great for these transitional fall days.&nbsp; The oxfords look terrific peeking out. So glad they are comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-trousers-and-a-q-about-length#post-1041850 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:08:10 +0000 pastrygirl 1041850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my new NYDJ black trousers today and a tissue-weight sweater. I needlessly worried that I'd need another layer -- it got quite warm today!&nbsp;I wore the houndstooth&nbsp;LAMB oxfords I found at the Rack a few weeks ago; they are 100% comfy!! I've worn them a couple of times and they don't rub or pinch&nbsp;<i>anywhere</i>. That is rare in my world!</p> <p>I've been lazy and haven't hemmed these yet, but they have been washed in case of shrinkage. Chances are these are the shoes I'll always wear with these trousers, though I might swap in booties that have the same heel height.&nbsp;Are the pants too long? </p>
