I think I’m already over wide leg jeans. Even the ones I have altered get holes in the bottoms because they still drag on the ground. Too long. But if I get them hemmed too short, they look stupid.
I went through the same thing in the 90s. There’s no real solution, as far as I can tell.
But I bought several pairs, so I guess I’m going to keep right on wearing them.
Remember how excited I was when they were back in stores? And now I’m all, “Meh.”
I find that short bootcut or short flare work better for me. I don’t know. Sometimes best fit can surprise you.
