    What do people think of skinny jeans that are too long? I got a pair in Penney's and didn't think they were as long as they are! I don't like turning jeans up. What do people think of skinny jeans that are slightly bulky at the bottom or should they just be straight down? Or what can you do to with them? cheers :)

    I kind of scrunch mine at the bottom if they're too long :)

    Dont like skinny jeans at all. Personally I dont think they suit anybody.

    You could turn them up on the inside and that way it wouldn't look like they were turned up, would just look like they're a perfect length.

    Personally, I wouldn't be a fan of the excess bulky material around the ankles and that's what I'd do. You could also get them taken up, if you wanted to.

    You could try taking them up yourself. I have to do it quite a lot because it seems that if you're a size 10 or under the manufacturer automatically assumes you're about 5'10"+ :(

    It will take a bit of time to get the legs the exact length you want them, so I find trying on a few different pairs of shoes that I'm going to wear with the jeans/trousers and deciding on the length to suit all shoes works well. Otherwise, just pick one pair of shoes that you're going to wear with them and stick with that.

    Once you have the jeans at a length with which you're happy, double check that the legs are the same length and then iron over the creases so they're marked. Then cut off the thick stitching at the bottom, turn the jeans up at the creases and then sew them up. It's a pain and takes a while, but worth it in the long run.

    Straigh down - I am afraid, unless you don't want them to be skinny any more. Tuck them into nice chunky boots and nobody will notice that they are too long.
