Clamdiggers - do they work?

Ok, so I went and tried the J Crew matchstick clamdiggers. I brought them home so I could get your opinions...

First, which length is best?
Rolled once:

Rolled twice:

Unrolled:

Second question, which tops look best?
Green (the same one as above):

Coral:

Cropped teal cardi:

Please be honest and let me know what you think of the clamdiggers. I have very muscular calves so I'm not sure that I absolutely love how they look on me.

Thanks!

First of all...I think they look great on you. They don't make your calves look big--just the opposite--they make them look shapely. Secondly, I like them rolled twice, and full length. And lastly, I think all three tops work with them, but my favorite is the cardi.

Are the images coming up sideways when you click them, or is it just me? This is my first attempt at the direct link, I may have goofed them up.

Thanks, Nicole. I appreciate your input!

I think they look great. I like them best unrolled or rolled once, and I think all the tops you posted with them are great. Keep them!

They are a total keeper! I prefer the unrolled length, like all the tops, with my favorite being the last one.

Another vote for unrolled. The coral top is my favorite but they all work.

I guess I should make it clear-- the clamdiggers look great on you.

Thanks everyone! I guess it just takes your eyes a while to adjust to a different look. I really appreciate everyone's input!

Unrolled is my favorite length. Rolled twice is distant second. I like all the tops, but the coral looks especially good with the dark denim. Since you are tall, did you have to get a longer inseam, or is this the "regular" length?

Becky, it's just the regular length. I think it's 18" unrolled if I remember correctly. It's on the website

I like rolled twice or not rolled because those 2 ways show off the curves in your calves the best.
All the tops are great. I'm partial to the coral one, but you can switch them up and get a lot of use out of those clamdiggers.
I'm ordering mine now!!!

They look great - rolled twice or unrolled - and with all three tops. LOVE that cardi.

The clamdiggers look fantastic on you! Rolled once or unrolled I like equally (I wear them rolled twice because I have very short legs). And I like all the tops, but my favorite is the cardigan--so cute! My second favorite is the coral top. You know what would look awesome with that coral top? A belt, hee hee....

I also think that the clamdiggers look smashing on you! I like unrolled and rolled twice, tough rolled once is also OK. And all the tops are super with them!

Thanks everyone.

Shannon, I hadn't considered the coral shirt under the cardi...good thought!

Ana, I'm still looking for a belt. You'll be the first to know once I find one

Thanks to you all for the comments and insight!
