K/R Wideleg Cropped Jeans (Update: Tags Off)

I almost never do k/r posts, but I think my eye might need help with these particular jeans because they’re a departure from my usual. They’re fitted through the hip and thigh and then wide starting just above the knee. Second question, if they’re a keep, should I chop the bottom for a raw hem?

Rear view is good, Jenn but I’m not keen on the whiskering on the front. Would need to see them styled with footwear to comment on length, but they do seem a smidge long. With the wide hem, I don’t know where you would hack for the raw hem, since the top line of the hem looks like it would be too short.

Wide leg jeans are in your future - but I don’t think these are the ones.

I think they look really good! I don't mind the whiskering, and the rear view looks awesome (always something I care about when buying jeans--I hate it when they space the pockets too far apart, or do other unsightly things). I am not too particular about the length of jeans, so I would think that hacking them to make them raw would be fab. I love a raw hem! If you liked them at that length but wanted a raw hem, alternatively you could let down the hem yourself and then hack to the perfect length.

my vote keep! they fit well on you, I would keep the hem as is, might be nice to wear with some of your chunky sandals. could always cut them later if you want a rougher vibe.

I have some similar jeans from Seven that I rarely wear that I think fit similar on me--its such a different silhouette Im not used to, you've inspired me to try them again. I like them best with a sandal, they feel kind of summery loose

I like them Jenn - I would wear for a few weeks and then decide on the hem.

Ok - these are perfect. PERFECT. Keep and don't chop off the hem.

These jeans are perfect just the way they are.

They fit wonderfully! I like the longer length, and I think chopping above the current hem would make them a bit too short for my taste. Would you release the hem and then chop? I don’t love the distressing and whiskering, but that may just be personal preference. How do you feel about it? Do you get tired quickly of jeans with extra details like rips and fading, or will you wear them into the ground quickly enough that it doesn’t matter?

They fit you perfectly, and you look amazing in them. I like the distressing, etc. It is a personal thing. It adds texture and fits with your vibe, but that is my opinion. I like the length too.

I like them a lot, Jenn, and I would keep them this length at first. With crops, I made the mistake of chopping a few pairs early on -- only to discover that I actually prefer mine at a longer cropped length -- closer to 2 inches above ankle bone than 4 inches above. It just works better on me, personally. And you can always crop them a bit after a few wears, if that feels better to you -- once cropped, there's no going back.

I like them very much! Wouldn't make a raw edge on the hems, though.

I love them on you! What a great fit. I like the style, too, and I'm kind of hot and cold on wide-leg crops. These I like. I'd keep the hems as they are.

I like them, they fit you well. I prefer raw edge but you should try them with intended shoes before making a decision.

These look great on you. I’d wear them around a bit with various shoes before deciding to chop or not. Try them with booties too. Trickier to get the length right IMO.

Joy

You look better than the model and these jeans look comfortable and easy . The wide legs see. Like they would be breezy on warm days. That wash looks good with black.

First off I also vote keep! Regarding the length, it really depends on the shoes you will wear and don't do anything until you wash them once as they might shrink slightly even if you don't put them in the dryer.

Sally

I love them. You look great in them. Don’t change them.

Keep - great fit! The length is debatable ( I like longer ).

Thanks all. You’ve given me some confidence to embrace the new! For clarification, if I were to do a raw hem, I’d take down the hem first as Jonesy and La Ped suggested and crop them to the same length or maybe half an inch shorter.

Sal, I’ll take your advice and wear them as is first.

For those concerned about the distressing, I had noticed that most of the Pinterest images I collect are of distressed jeans, and I prefer the look, but I always have my mom’s voice in the back of my head when I think about buying them. This is dipping my toe in.

I like them, and especially love the sandals in the model pic! Drool.

Thumbs up! I’d be afraid to mess with the length, which is pretty perfect right now, but I do like the idea of a raw hem... comes down to skills, maybe.

Synne

I like them! Your usual jean style has been skinnies, right? These are awesome.

Bijou

Keep (great fit and colour) and no cutting of the hem unless you don't have any raw hem jeans and want them. These are going to be so useful going into warmer temps because the wide leg is far more comfortable to wear and your exposed ankle helps keep things cool.

Wowsers! Love these!!

So appreciate you all chiming in. Tags are cut!

Synne, I usually have a pair of dark wash skinnies and a pair of lighter wash crops in my closet these days. The last ones were straights, before that cropped flares, and before that boyfriends, I think. Basically, I switch up the silhouette slightly every year.

Late to this, but I like them, especially how you've styled them.
