Denim

Hem-ming and Hawing

kate moss in wide leg jeans.jpgI always have to hem jeans (being 5’2) and I have a standard inseam length that I always use when I get jeans tailored - one for flats, one for heels.

I just bought a pair of J Brand Kat wide legged jeans - I’m obsessed. I got them hemmed about 1/2 inch longer than my usual “heel” length and yet they still look too short to me - which means I can only wear them with two inch heels.

A couple of weeks ago I got another pair of cute wide legged jeans and for the first time ever I don’t think I’ll have to get them hemmed. They almost brush the floor when I wear heels and I like them because they don’t get caught under my heels or anything.

But I’ve seen pictures of wide legged denim worn to the ground and pictures in which they’re hemmed two inches from the ground showing off the shoes.

So I’m wondering what is the proper length for wide legged jeans and pants?

Thanks!

I like this one a lot too! Great idea about pairing a skirt like that with a casual top and cardigan... hmmm... I'm getting some ideas!

She looks so young!!

these models don't even have six packs.

I wouldn't do it, but it could be fun to show some more skin next spring.

rofl at comment 6!

"the obama campaign is famously not using traditional "put up lots of signs" strategies"

I feel like all I've seen is Obama signs EVERYwhere! I don't know where this notion of a non-strategy is coming from... but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Why did you feel the need to call me out #32???? I didn't write the item, didn't claim to know who it was written about, I just said it seems like a tricky legal situation if the program is set up the way the post makes it out to be. Geez.

Yikes! I agree. Doesn't seem like this should still be happening if you've already washed them a few times. What brand are they?

I don't think that she's trying to be Jackie O, but that the fashion media are trying desperately to peg her as one.

Do they not remember Jackie?

Well just to let you know in the future - my dark wash J brands never ever did this. So maybe next time... ;)

Not my cashmere! ;)

Random thought - I've read in multiple places that it's actually not good to dry clean cashmere and that you should actually hand wash it.

Anyone else hear that?

Aw man, I was really hoping the convo would be more Zoolander like.

Meekus: It's like, ex-squeeze me, but have you ever heard of styling gel?
Brint: I'm sure Hansel's heard of styling gel, he's a male model.
Meekus: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke.
Brint: Uh, Earth to Meekus, duh, okay I knew that!
Meekus: Uh earth to Brint, I'm not so sure you did cuz you were all 'well I'm sure he's heard of styling gel' like you *didn’t* know it was a joke!
Brint: I knew it was a joke Meekus, I just didn't get it right away!

I heart Piper.

:)

And I agree, it's a bit ruthless for Fashionista to go after a child.

Shameless much?
