Fashion Advice Which one?

I think the pants are freakishly long given you can’t see my shoes at all and looks like I’m about to trip and fall. Husband thinks they look fine and give a long legs look. I fully disagree and think it looks insane. Second pic is altered by chat. What do we think

1st pair is too long and the 2nd pair is too short. Go with the first one and get them tailored

u/Efficient-Fold8068 2d ago

Second picture looks better and cleaner

u/Difficult-Sock343 2d ago

Slightly shorter than 1, definitely longer than 2

u/mycowsmom1325 2d ago

Longer ones!

u/Dull-Intern-6037 1d ago

2nd pic is far more flattering- have the first altered if possible?

2 but I’m a millenial

Does that mean you're traumatized by wet flares wicking water up to your knees all winter? Because same, but also 1 are correct and 2 look silly.

No it means cropped pants were the norm for years.

This is interesting cause where I'm from if you wore pants like that people would ask if you were expecting a flood. The trend was long pants where your shoes barely showed

u/partiallysewn 1d ago

Where are you from? SF, CA, USA. Cropped sailor pants were so popular for like five years. 2019-2024. Now barrel crops and culottes.

I am as well, but I don't like either.... Hmm. (Nothing wrong with your opinion, I'm just pointing out that I'm also a millennial)

The shorter pants lose the flare. The longer pants look better.

u/HeartHandsMpls 2d ago

👆🏻 This!

Easy fix: Slightly higher heels 😃

u/Few-Statement-9103 2d ago

2! I love that look

u/SeleneSwan777 2d ago

The shorter ones actually make you look taller and they look better with the boots.

23

u/Impossible-Summer499 2d ago

2 the first one makes you look shorter

3

u/Fuzzy-Island-3485 2d ago
  1. 1 makes you look shorter.

u/Annual-Hair-6771 2d ago

First pair is too long, second pair is too short.

1

u/randomwords123abc 2d ago

Neither and find a pair that fit at the waist better

3

u/howiethegiraffe 2d ago

2, because you show a little bit of the boots. See the reference of Sézane jeans.

3

u/Foreign_Being5656 1d ago

Neither. You need a better fit . One pair is too short & the other is not fitted properly.

u/hiscoobiej 1d ago

2 by a mile

u/BackgroundLab5721 2d ago

My pants are often very long so I agree with husband but only if they aren’t actually touching the ground when you walk. Maybe somewhere in between the two pics for your own comfort. Will you always wear that height of shoe with them?

u/biocidebynight 2d ago

One for sure

2

u/InevitableSlip746 2d ago

You can always take away fabric but you can’t put it back. I would hem these slightly but not as much as your second pic.

2

u/-sensory_overlord- 2d ago

The second one by miles

2

u/StylistLinzz 1d ago

2 for sure!

5

u/Delicious_jusama2630 2d ago

You look taller in the second pic.

4

u/Standard_Block9576 2d ago

Shorter ones!!

u/Ill_Chemical_5150 2d ago

#1 but with slightly higher heels.

2

u/Crazy-Raych-83 2d ago

1st pair!! Girrrl <3

1

u/Xennial_Nostalgia 2d ago

Shorter unless you can hem long ones properly. Cropped is also in.

1

u/Christymapper71 2d ago

First one, but with some taller heeled boots or a pair of tall stilettos. Killer!

1

u/Visual_Rise_2319 2d ago

I like the flare leg, but the second pair fits you bettter in the waist hip and crotch.

1

u/ZookeepergameFine936 2d ago

Make sure you wash and dry them and see how they fit after BEFORE you get them altered! Theres a good chance you’ll lose a half inch or so after washing and drying.

u/usabiogirl79 1d ago edited 1d ago

Edited: These don’t fit you right through the thighs and crotch and waist. Length-wise they should just touch the top of your shoes at the foot (not the top of the boot at the calf and not all the way to the floor). Leather pants should fit you perfectly everywhere otherwise they don’t look right.

u/Jmlp1 1d ago

First one, add a belt

1

u/StrikingMixture8172 1d ago

2 fits better in the leg but is too short, one is just too large

1

u/the-green-dahlia 1d ago

Definitely 2!

1

u/lillie_ofthe_valley 2d ago

Maybe a bit shorter than one but for sure longer than two

1

u/tiffi_333 2d ago

2 is too short

u/Leesan211 2d ago

1 looks better

u/Interesting_Event_68 2d ago

The longer pants

u/lulusgarden 2d ago

I have to say I like them longer!

-1

u/bellegroves 2d ago

The first ones are the correct length. The second ones make me wonder who did your laundry and shrank your pants.

u/Flashy_Horror_9111 2d ago

I would sweat in undesirable places in these pants a cute high waisted cargo jean would be adorbs

u/SweetPotato5566 2d ago

Between 1 and 2

If pleather, then none. If leather, find a pair that will fit your body after a few times of wearing and stretching. They have to feel good when you wear it, if not then move on. You will know when you find the right one. Never pleather, they don't breathe and will smell and crack with use.
