Where should your jeans hit? Should they brush the floor? Should they show your ankle bone? Is it okay if there's some scrunching? This will be the first post in a series of posts regarding hemlines. I'm on the short side (5'2") so unless I actually come across great petite styles, I'm forced to constantly hem my jeans.
Let's see some examples of where your jeans should hit while wearing a flat shoe.
Jeggings
A little too much scrunching for my liking, especially at the knee, but I'm pretty sure these particular jeggings were worn a few times before taking this picture so they're pretty stretched out!

Perfect amount, just one or two small scrunches at the ankle.

Wide Leg/Trouser
These are perfect. When wearing a wide leg pair of jeans, you want them to just hit the floor. You also want to make sure you can see your shoes peeking through just a bit.

Bootcut
Again, these should just brush the floor in the back. One scrunch/fold is okay in the front.

Straight Leg
With a straight leg, you want it to just cover your ankle. Unlike the jegging where you can get away with crunching, straight legs will just look ill-fitting if there's scrunching at the ankle.
