Help with Wide Leg Crop Length?

morethanbeige

Hi All,

I don’t have any wide-leg crops. Here is a pair from Gap and they run long on me. I don’t know what length they actually should be. Can you advise me? I have one leg rolled up for comparison. Also, are these shoes appropriate or would sneakers be better? Thanks in advance for any help!

These look like a great full length pant - love the acid wash(!) - are you sure you want to crop them? If you do, you can hack them and leave the hem raw. An inch or two above the ankle bone is best, IMO, but all sorts of crops can be seen in the wild these days.

Crops do showcase footwear, so if you have cool/interesting/fashionable shoes or sandals, a crop will highlight them. Your sandals look good. Sneakers of all kinds work too.

What do the Gap product photos show?

Great jeans! Fab at full length too

If you want to crop, try two inches above the ankle bone. So longer than the cuff is rolled here.

That seems a nice length to my eye, and I think your sandals work well with them. I’m certain sneakers would look fine as well.

I would keep them full length, they’d be quite on trend that way (in terms of width and wash they already are…).

Not that anyone needs to be a slave to trends, however I think our midage eyes are so adjusted to cropped lengths for summer we automatically want that, but if you look in the stores and at ‘the kids’ I think the tide is turning fast to loose and full length for summer pants… just my two cents trying to predict what I’m going to want in the near future, which of course may not apply to you at all…

The rolled one looks a bit too short to me.

I have these jeans and love them. I ordered the short version so they would be cropped on me like on the model. They are ankle length -- just a bit above the ankle bone, maybe an inch. But I think they look great full length as well!

Full-length fan chiming in here — I like them as they are! But here I’ve been releasing hems to get full length for years, LOL. Designers finally seem to be making jeans that are long again.
