Hem - what do you guys do when..
Permalink Closed

You want to wear the same pants with high heels and short/flat heels?  I have this dilemma a LOT! I like pants that are long enough to wear with high heels but I cant usually wear the same pants with low heels as it drags on the dirty floor.


Do you guys tape? There must be something I don't know about.

Ugh- if there is a solution to this I would LOVE to know! Pretty much all of my pants are hemmed for me to wear w/at least 3" heels of some sort. I have 2 pairs of "short" pants that I can wear w/sneakers/flats and thats it!

I bought my Development pants (with the butt bows ) and the SA at the boutique said...


"Hem your pants as if you were going to wear kitten heels with them so they'e not excessively long with high heels and you can still wear them with flats if you don't mind fabric bunching up a but."


I'm wearing them today, freshly hemmed, with a pair of mocs and I can't complain too much...this is apparently the only way to do it.

But isn't that too short with high heels?

The trick is apparently to make sure they touch the floor when you have kitten heels on. I tried the pants on with my high heels and they didn't look terrible with a little bit of heel peeking out.

I usuall err on the side of too long. If my pants are too long it's kind of annoying, if they're too short I'm totally self concious all day.

I have the same issue b/c all my pants go with my 3 - 4 inch heels.

I usually do this.  OK, well, I don't really hem them, usually that's how long they are on me.  I know everyone says your hem should cover your heel, but that's almost impossible for me Usually when they're long enough to cover a kitten heel, they cover at least half of my higher heels (I don't wear over 3").
