Hard to tell with the model sitting down, but the length both front and back kind of looks too extreme to me.

It isn't as long as I thought from the sitting photo, so not as bad as I originally was thinking, but it is not for me. For the most part, I just like straight hems, although I do have a few asymmetrical hems now.

Shouldn't be a problem unless with a top you had extreme ""saddle bags"" in which case it would call attention to that area. Cute pants although I can't wear those colors.

That doesn't look new to me. It looks like a shirttail hemline.

I remember avoiding them because they always looked sloppy, like the person could not be bothered to tuck it in. lol... Not my favorite hemline. I don't think it is very flattering even in the two pics here.

I have a few t-shirts with a similar hemline & they are for very casual attire only.

BINGO! With my extreme saddle bags, there's no way this hem is flattering. I'll pass.

Honestly, it's just a new fad thought up by designers to get into our wallets again... I won't be buying into their plan.

The models in the photos don't have big saddle bags but I don't think the look is flattering on either of them despite that.

The shape of the hem in front suggests a large stomach to me. Regardless of whether there is one.

I love Chico's. I'm wearing a top from there now. It has a straight hem. lol...

Not flattering unless you're tall and thin, with a flat tummy!

I really like these tops, but the hemline is not really new, just making a comeback.

I like this look...had no idea this was from Chicos. I shopped there last week, and also placed an online order. Don't remember these things. They have so many new items.

Yes, on women who have thin thighs, narrow hips and a small rear - wouldn't look good on a pear shape or apple shape.
