Re: 24/7 ankle or full length - what do you prefer?

I have both from his line and both work for me. with the ankle pant  I wear flats and if I am wearing the full length I wear a higher heel. You just have to know how to pull off the style so they do not look like the pant is not the right height.

Good point tedEbear I do have nice ankles. Never thought of that maybe that is why the style does not work well for some. Have a good day!

I love the side zip ankle length version (I'm only 5'3 so they fit length wise perfectly as a normal pant). I really wish they weren't on clearance & had more colors.

I have all lengths and love them all.  Crop for summer.  Full length for dress and winter.  Ankle for fun, sass and my Laura Petrie days.  IM's 24/7 is all I weat since them make me look so much thinner.

I love ankle pants because I am only 5' 1\2" tall & they are regular length on me.  My all time favorite pants are the slim leg Apt. 9 from Kohl's.  I just wish that they came in other colors than just black.  My feet are small & I do have nice ankles.

I don't like ankle pants on me or anyone else! I'm 5'8" and ankle pants just remind me of when I was a teenager and couldn't find pants that were long enough. I'm sticking with full length! I ordered them in a Tall size and they fit like full length pants!!!

I am only 5 ft 4 inches tall so on me the ankle pants become full length pants with no hemming needed.

I only wear the ankle length in the summer with flats or sandles.  Prefer reg. length, straight or flared for  the colder months.

Re: 24/7 ankle or full length - what do you prefer?

GREAT question.  I can ONLY wear the ankle length in petite because I am 4'11". I have tried the regular length petite 24/7s but I  swim in them and would have to have them altered. I am so grateful for the ankle length and for not having to deal with the inconvenience and cost of having my fabulous 24/7s altered, From reading the other responses, I think they're breaking down by height of the customer. Short ones, such as myself, love the ankle length. Tall ones, not so much. Thanks for bringing up this subject! And thank you, QVC and Isaac Mizrahi for continuing to make ankle length 24/7 slacks. I LOVE THEM! (thanks for keeping those other customers happy with regular non-ankle lengths too!)
