Wiw and your input needed - YouLookFab Forum

Hello YLF,
Here is a quick wiw and I need your input.
I got these at the beginning of fall. All my jeans are skinnies, I was looking for black jeans and these felt right. I didn't wear them much at the beginning because they are higher waisted than my other jeans. It took some time to get used to that and I lost a few pounds, so they feel quite comfy now. I think they are JFE. After my flared jeans, which I wear to work, these are my favorite my pair right now. I wear them casually, with these high top converses. I am really enjoying this look. I need your opinion though.

Should i hem them a bit shorter?I took some pictures for you at the store. My concern is that they are already baby flares (you can see it better in some pictures than others), so even an inch more and the effect could be completely lost. Opinions?

I vote no... I think you will lose the flare...

I don't think you'll go wrong either way ... They look great as is but if you shortened them I don't think it would radically change the look at all.

I think that length is right on trend though, per Angie's recent post?https://youlookfab.com/2019/12.....ith-heels/

They look great to me. I don’t think you need to chop at all.

I like them as is.

Absolutely great, I personally like that length and I wouldn't do anything.

They are fab, especially for winter. Any shorter and you’d be cold.

I also like them as is. Great outfit. I like how your phone case matches.

I like the jeans as they are. No need to shorten them.

I wouldn’t hem them , I agree with your thought of completely losing the subtle flair ...I think they look great with the sneaks as is !

I’m not sure about pant lengths myself these days so will let others address that question. I love your casual outfit—the red (burgundy?) high tops are very fun, and your vest and scarf look wonderful together.

I would leave the length, but I am no PPL expert. The current length showcases your sneakers really nicely! I love your whole outfit, btw! The sport vibe of your vest is really cool and all the colors work beautifully together!

This is my new preferred length for showing off hi-tops. Looks good to me!

Try a small cuff instead of a hem first. Cute retro body warmer!

They look fantastic on you Bella, the length is perfect and I like the black skinnies

Angie beat me to it! I would suggest a roll or two to highlight more of the hightop sneakers. I do that with my combat boots. It has the added bonus of keeping the pants hems high and dry (that is if you have snow!)

I like the length and the baby flares.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try cuffing first. If that doesn't work, it seems that the length is ok as is.
I can't even remember how old that puffy vest is, it must be more than 12 years, because I am sure I had it in 2007. It is Old Navy and indestructible, and I still love it as much.

I like the length as is too, with a cuff to change it up. Nice scarf too!

Cuffing would look great, I’m not sure how tall you are but if f jeans feel just a bit too short cuffing is a quick solution
