I love the wide leg pants ... but I only wear flat shoes so I've hemmed all the pants to just brush the top of my shoe / break over the instep.
"The “break” of the pant is the fold or creasing of fabric that forms at the front of your pant leg, just above where it meets your shoe, while you’re standing. An easier way to think about it is that the pant break is the point where the suit pants break its silhouette against the shoe. Note that the break is defined at the standing position and not while you’re walking, seated or doing squats." From online article: A Guide to Dress Pant Breaks."
I'm really, really, really fussy about the length of my pants .... that's why I spend so much time hemming pants!
(Hemmed 2 more pairs this morning. Total so far this year: 18 pairs.)
