When I first saw the split hem legging trend, I knew they wouldn’t work for me. Being short, all of the inseams were so long that by the time I had them tailored, the split would be more like a tiny slit. Then I stumbled across this 7/8th length (here is the regular length) and figured it was my best bet. I initially thought they needed about an inch taken off, but when I got to the alterations place we both agreed they were the perfect length. And while I knew I’d wear them, I didn’t realize how often I’d reach for them. I think I wear these several times a week and they really elevate any basic leggings outfit….
I can wear them with chunky knit sweaters, oversized coats, a fitted tee, a leather jacket… they pretty much go with anything… I even had someone send me a photo of how she wore them to a casual Friday at her office (I believe they were paired with booties and a blazer and it looked so cute). So if you’re bored with your regular skinny length leggings and you’re looking to spice things up a bit, I can’t recommend these more…..
And because I find myself wearing them so much, I styled them 10 different ways below (it was going to be 11, but I completely forgot to snap another picture yesterday….). Hope it helps if you have them and are stumped on how to wear them… or if you’re considering them (also, these are another option and they’re under $50, just not sure if they’re petite friendly!).
Have a great day!
