Pants that cover your shoes...yes or no?

Girlboss — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 13:53:11 GMT

I've seen Susan Graver wearing jeans with really large bell bottoms that cover her shoes. She's worn this look several times on air but I haven't seen the trend take off yet. I can't decide if I like the look or not? I understand that the style elongates your leg which can be flattering but that style also makes you look like you don't have feet. Just wondering what the Q community thinks?

I don't like the look at all so I hope it never takes off as a trend. I think it looks really strange - like you say, like you have no feet.

I would rather see them than high water pants. As long as I don't trip or have to wear heels that's ok by me.

I think it looks like you would trip over your pants. I don't like the look at all.

It's not my look. I don't care if other people wear it, or it becomes popular. I still won't be wearing it.

No. I want to see my shoes!

I would rather too long than too short.

If it is a wider leg than I want the pant longer, but not so long it completely covers my shoes. I have not seen this trend in my city.

What I am seeing is narrow leg ankle or shorter length pants with ankle boots where the entire ankle boot is visible. I see this on lots of women in their 20s and a few more mature ladies too. According to everything we have been taught this should make your legs appear much shorter, but it appears to be a big trend this fall and winter.

Reminds me of Gumby cartoon on Tv. Looks horrible. When I first saw petite SG wearing these horrors I thought she was trying to cover a cast and she had broken her leg or something.

Mary Beth wears her slacks to cover her heels. No shoe visible at all.

If you can't sew take to seamstress and hem about 2 inches.

I have a favorite pair of old jeans which have less of a bell and are a trifle shorter. I caught a glimpse of Susan this morning, and, no, her long, wide jeans are not coming to my closet. They're not a good look for me - and I wouldn't even feel safe walking in them.

That would be a NO from me. I still remember Lisa and her Gumby pant look... not attractive to me... why would any woman want to have some super nice shoes on and not even see them not unless she is sitting down... don't really get it myself. Not a very attractive look. Flares or bells are fine, probably both figure flattering - but the pants to the floor length is a bit much. It brings back memories of my bell bottom jeans back in high school that drug on the ground and got all frayed out up the back of my leg... I guess it was fine when I was a teenager, but I really have never seen an adult woman pull off that look without looking kinda strange.

Anyhow - if you like it - go for it! Everyone seems to dress how they like these days - no matter what anyone else thinks.

No. Aside from the fact I do not consider SG a style trendsetter, I think having pants that long would be dangerous especially wide leg pants.

Now we have a designer wearing the same pair of pants constantly. She is wearing them way too often - every time she's on the air!! Isn't she a designer; I don't even think these are hers as she is not selling them - show something else we can all have access to.

Lately, the hosts and now the designer are not wearing what they are selling. Only on this one channel. The other shop at home channels don't do this. Everyone is wearing the current offerings.

A definite no for me. It looks sloppy, and the ends of the pants fray and get filthy.

If you remember wearing that look the first time around then you're probably too old to wear it again.

No, I won't be wearing the big bells again. Been there...

Here's an article with guidelines.

http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2016/01/pant-length-tips-hemming-trousers.html

I've always followed the 1/2 inch from the floor rule for pants. Short people need pants as long as possible, without dragging the floor.

Skinny jeans or any leg that hugs the ankle will be shorter, ending at the top of the ankle.

I have two pair of bell bottoms I got from vanity. I don't think the leg opening is as big as what she was wearing. But they are my favorite jeans. I can't stand jeans that are to short.

Brings back memories from High School...those jeans with a very fitted turtleneck tucked in. I think Susan looks silly in them.

I think it's the nature of the pants since the bell is bigger than her foot. It's a funky look I would wear, but not all the time. I'd have to be in "funky mode."
