Does this look weird?

Does the height of the hem show off the boots more or make it look strange?

i think i've done a very similar fit before a few years ago. i like a harness boot, i own a very similar pair. i think they're fun, and there's a good place for that boot. i think the jeans are pretty tough to use here few 2 reasons: 1. the colour contrast is not my favourite, i think if you're going to wear slimmer with a harness boot, it's much easier not to fuck up. 2. the crop is too high on the jean. a straight leg might feel nicer here.

This was my attempt many years ago. I think if I redid it, it’d probably be looser on the jeans for sure.

I dont understand the first point you made the jeans to boot ratio look perfect in your example but if I could I've have them hemmed up to where you have them folded

to be honest, these days i'm not sure i would roll them this was from quite a few years ago, so i'd probably try a looser pant

This person is sitting down so the pants hate higher than they would be normally I think the crop + the slim cut are hurting each other A looser cut and a longer inseam would both be better Doesn’t have to be extremely longer

Even so I’m not saying you need a loose cut Just that this exact pair isn’t working in my opinion

I agree, the hem is too high and i feel like my legs are too muscly/large

It’s never your body, it’s always the clothes that are wrong

that's a very sweet sentiment

But yeah a slightly looser pair that’s a little longer would improve this imo, I also agree with billiams that the mid wash of these aren’t quite right for the look you’re after

nah i think this is actually a mindframe thing too. cos i have chunky legs, but enjoyed slimmer fitting jeans for a while. and while i don't think it looked BAD, i think slim fit for me, would've been straight leg, not actual slim fit, if that makes sense. i needed more thigh and calf room

I see uniqlo or HM probably have good straight leg trousers or nice jeans

think about it this way, for normal normans - slim fit is slim fit. for bigger leg lads - straight leg is basically slim fit

Yeah

Yeah fit is always relative The labels should really just be about what’s the leg shape below the waistband Then you just go by dimensions for how much room you want

Here’s an example of a SLP boot with more of a flare and wider
