Couple of things to consider: are the legs straight or flared? Straight legs are easier to taper. Flared should be tapered with the flare angle. Is the inseam flat felled? See pic related to figure that out. If so, taper the out seam/side seam, unless you have a flat fell foot for your machine and you'recomfortableusing it. Can your machine handle stitching the multiple layers on the hem? Put on the pants, and have someone pin the outseam up from the hem to about 2-3 inches below the knee, blending the taper angle smoothly into the existing seam.
