Pants length help please - YouLookFab Forum

I have two pairs of cropped pants/capris that I bought last summer before I started posting pics on YLF so now need some help to ensure they are PPL for cropped pants. Both still fit well and I'd like to incorporate them into my wardrobe.

Pic #1/2 are the black cropped pants at the length they are currently.
Pic #3/4 are rolled up to a shorter length.
Pic #5/6 are the grey capris (they have a cuff) at their current length.
Pic #7/8 are rolled up to a shorter length.

Are these two pairs of capris worth keeping? If so, should they stay at their current length or be shortened?

Pic #9/10 are my white jeans - I have now washed them and have pinned them to what I think is PPL. Now that my Boutique 9's are comfy, these are the shoes I have chosen to wear with my white jeans. Does this length look appropriate?

Thanks for the help ladies!

I'm not sure - I feel like the white top is making it harder for me to judge. I like the shorter lengths on both I think. White is a strong "color" in an outfit and it tends to really grab the focus. I really like the white jeans! And the white on white too.

Text style - I would not be wearing this tee with any of these pants and have not styled them in any way.

I think the capris are fine at their current length - especially if you can do a half tuck or tuck... of a lower contrast top that will keep the leg line higher. I don't love them shorter... I guess I just like walk shorts to fit a little more loosely though. Just my opinion.

The white jeans look great!

Okay, I think my gut feeling is still that the shorter length is better.

It's tough! I'm not a length expert. You need Angie's eyes! She had be crop a pair, but they were much longer than these, and the final length was just under the meaty part of my calf; yours are already above that length to start. I think I prefer them at the "clamdigger" length because they end at a narrower point on your leg. However, I don't think they look stumpifying as is, either.

White jeans are FAB!! I think the length is good.
As for the shorts, I am SO inexpert at this and will eagerly await replies. But my gut feeling is I like the black ones at their current length and the grey ones shorter.

Ok, I am with Jeneva in not being any kind of length expert, but my first reaction is that I sort of like the black ones at their original (current) length, the light ones cropped to where you rolled them and the white ones look great how you pinned them.

to my eye both black and grey look better shortened on you. I think with cropped pants every one has their own sweet spot which cannot be 'defined' per se. I find the shorter length enhances your leg line and gives you a longer silhouette.

I like the length on the white jeans.

* waiting to see what the experts say* but that is my 2 cents!

My beady pant length eyes are here.

Both pairs of cropped pants look perfect, Shannon! No need to shorten. I LOVE this clamdigger length. (Below is the proof). That said - your legs look as good with the even shorter length - to Sona's point.

White jeans look perfect at the pinned length too. You are going like a Boeing!

"Beady pant length eyes" lol!
Thanks for the feedback Angie. Clam digger length is new territory for me. I don't plan on tucking with these so I really appreciate your visual showing a slim fitting but untucked blouse with yours. I will gladly take on board other styling suggestions as well.

Thank you everyone!

Seems like you figured out the length issues. Just had to say, though, I first thought these looked like mug shots, and I clicked on the thread to make sure you didn't need bailing out of jail. Whew!

Double post!

Wow! Do you look good in your cropped pants/capris, Shannon, and I think Angie is right on the mark (and, yes, I chuckled when she said her beady pant length eyes had appeared on the scene!) I see no reason to hem, because they look great as they are.

Your white jeans are a perfect PPL and you'll have so much fun wearing them and your capris. Great photos, btw.

Right, I have pant-length blindness! I liked the black ones shorter and the grey ones longer --- what's wrong with me?! o.0 That didn't make sense to myself either... :-/

So, am no help; just want to say all three pants look great on you!

Shannon I can only say "what Angie said". I struggle with the crop correct length thing and feel I see so many variations I can't get a feel for what is a consistently good length. Crops must be the the fashion thorn in my side lol.

I do find them pleasing to the eye and very flattering on you. The shorter length makes me think "shorts" rather than "crop" and I don't love shorts so I think they should work without any alteration. I'm looking forward to seeing these styled:)

I think the crops look good at the current length and also would look nice shortened but not necessary! I love your new white pants and they are indeed lovely and ppl with the boutique 9's!!
