Ask Angie: Straight leg fit - repinned to 1"

March 18, 2011

I repinned the straight leg jeans to 1" and tried with two heel heights (my heel heights are all 3.25-4"). I have pinned only one leg for comparison. Things to note: 1) since they're still new the hem is still a bit stiff; 2) since these were taken on carpet the heels have an additional 1/4" or so hidden by the carpet.

  1. 4" heel, front.
  2. 4" heel, side.
  3. 3.5" heel, front.
  4. 3.5" heel, side.

Too long/short/fine? Will I have to pick one heel height to wear with these, or is a 3/4" range acceptable? Thank you!! :D

    Aida... OT: I feel I must remark on what a beautiful, timeless profile you have. Like something off a gorgeous coin from antiquity. Completely classical and just lovely. L.

    Aida, just a little shorter still. You are almost there!!!

    (You did ask someone who is obsessed with the correct length of jeans and trousers - sorry to be a mare).

    Thimblelina - Thank you very much, I'm incredibly flattered by both the comment and the wonderfully eloquent way it was phrased!

    Angie - I will try 1.5" and 2" tomorrow! Thanks for being such a stickler :)

    The jeans look phenomenal on you, Aida. I'd recommend washing them once or twice before shortening, though. My jeans always end up just a tad shorter than I want them to be when they start out perfect . . .

    Ooh good point, I will wash them tonight and let them air dry before re-pinning.
