Well I finally got ahold of a pair of wings&horns jeans, took them to be hemmed and here's the result. They're hemmed like dress pants. Jeans should be longer right?

More than the length, the hem is too wide for such slim profile shoes. I don't think you'd mind the length if your were wearing boots.

i think with that nice black boots your jeans are not short at all. Because they seems quite tick it's better if you dress them with boots or rugged shoes.

They don't look terrible, they're just hemmed less like jeans than dress pants with little break.

They do look quite a bit like dress pants. Wear them as a "dressier" jean or wearing them with higher boots and sneakers might alleviate the problem somewhat.

wearing them long with those kind of shoes would look even more awkward since u got dressy shoes, which calls for a tailored look

they look fine to me
