To hem or not

Debbie

I have a pair of white flares that want to cut off. Question is should I leave the hem raw or have them hemmed. What do you think? Suggestions definitely welcomed.

I think it depends on what you are most comfortable with Debbie. I like both hemmed and unhemmed looks. But I know that being the neat freak I am and not very RATE that a raw hem might not 'feel' right to me.

I think a raw hem in white would be new and different, but probably reduce the number of situations you'd feel like wearing them in...

Debbie, I am going to cut off some pants to have a pair with raw hems, because as Rachy says that does really feel very fresh right now. I'd lean in that direction if you want something on trend. But It's worth thinking through your comfort with RATEness, as Deborah notes.

Leave the hems raw if you want to wear them casually.

Try them raw, and hem if it feels off to you.
