Anyway the wrinkles in the front, any suggestions?
Also my other problem is pant length. I am in between a normal and a long length in pants. I should get them hemmed to the right length but there also isn't just one right length of pants, it depends on what shoes you are wearing. The same pair of pants wont look good in both a heel and a flat shoe (unless there are some magical pants out there I haven't heard of). So I went on the hunt for products that might solve my problem. I came across two interestion products.
The first is called Zakkerz. The product description says the following:
zakkerz (n.) a temporary pant roll-up wrap used to hold pants that have been rolled up to a shorter length for flat shoes. If you have pants that have been hemmed for high heels but want to wear them with flat shoes or sneakers, then you need zakkerz.
Well that sounds like it is exactly what I am looking for, except it isnt exactly fashionable (see below)
If you were wearing black pants maybe, otherwise you are adding a black stripe which might look a little odd depending on the pant. They are flexible fabric strips that contain specially designed strong magnets. You roll the pant leg up to desired length, then wrap zakkerz around bottom of pant with one end inside pant leg and other end outside pant leg. The magnets bring the two ends of the zakkerz together – holding the roll-up in place. Iventive, yes. I would be willing to give these a shot and just might do so. A set of (4) is $24.00.
I did find another product however called Out Ease Struts. This addresses the problem of pants getting stuck in the back of your heels when you are wearing slingback shows or blackless shoes (ladies you know what I am talking about). Because of this very problem I stopped even trying to wear an open back shoe with pants and save those shoes for dresses and skirts. This however could have possibility. I am not exactly sure how it works but the website says this:
They are quickly and easily attached and you're ready to go! Simply remove the adhesive backing and place inside the back center of your pant hem. You can crease or curve it to form. When you are ready to launder your garment, peel off the strips and discard.
They don't have any pictures though so it is a little vague. For $12.05 you can get a set of 5 pairs, not bad if they work and with such a low price certainly worth checking out.
If there is anything else out there that would help solve the pant deliemma, do share, it's been driving me crazy for years.

Fuck, your comments ate what I said.
I'll shorten it up.
Different fabrics for the wrinkles maybe? Some are better than others.
You should get your pants hemmed to the right length if you don't use those other contraptions. Either that or buy two pairs in each length. =P
Also, why would you were slingbacks with pants that will cover them up? Why not just wear closed shoes? Is it a comfort issue or are there a limited number of toe/heel shoe combinations? Or do you just wear them for the look you get when you're seated?
Finally, I'm glad I'm a slobby boy. Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and sneakers. Thank you. Done and done.
Allow me to clarify. Although slingbacks are more noticable when you wear them with skirts/dresses/shorts they can still be cute peeking out from under a pant. Really it just gives you more options so you arent tied down to only wearing the slingbacks with something that shows leg.
And thats the problem with the "right" length, there is no such thing because it depends on what shoes you are wearing with them. I can only wear flip flops with short jeans or they drag, I cant wear heels with short jeans because they look funny. Thats probably why I wear heels so much. I buy heels because they are cuter than flats in my opinion and more flattering on the leg and therefore most of my jeans are longer and I am unable to wear flats with them. I have one pair of jeans for flats, I should probably get another pair.
could you roll those magnet things on the inside? maybe they're just doing it that way for the photo explanation.
Good point Ed, I dont know enough to know how they work but that may clear up the problem. They are cheap enough to give it a shot.
I don't think you could Ed because they have to sandwich the material. One way or the other, they have to be on the inside and the outside of the cuff.
