After kicking myself many times for not reacting quickly enough to the plaid skinnies that Janet and Aida got a month or two ago, I spotted these plaid jeans at the Gap and figured I had to give them a go. Not quite as "exciting" as Black Watch (but I do already have black watch wool trousers, so maybe it's a sign...) but perfect for my wardrobes colour scheme nonetheless. I really like the way they fit, so am curious what you think of the length. I ordered them in both regular and long. the first two are the regular, the second two the long.

I don't want to be restricted to wearing them tucked into boots, even though that's proably the way they'll get worn the most. Do the look regulars too short to wear with shoes? I'm fine with there being too much scrunch in the longs, as they can be hemmed, after a few trips through the dryer. But if I don't have to do that, obviously I'd rather not.

Thanks!
