How long should trousers be with heels

Brogues: Resting on the top of your shoe, with no break. Trainers: The same as with brogues. Boots: Roll them to show off your boots. A couple of inches or so below the top of your boots is good.

Leeway: An inch-and-a-half, but only shorter. Brogues: Sitting just above your shoes, to reveal a sliver of sock. With straight legs, they should just kiss the tongue and heel tab. Boots: Cuff them to around the some height as you did with your chinos.

It should look rough and ready, rather than too primped. Jodie, I feel the same as your mom. I have very slim ankles. And with crop leg pants it looks as if something has shrunk seriously in the wash. In proportion to my hips my ankles look weird if I expose them with cropped pants. Straight leg pants which end where Jennifer suggested, on the arch of my foot, give me more confidence. I enjoy wearing the ankle pant, skinny pant, and even occasionally the wide leg pant.

Thanks for your insight on pants, Jennifer…love your style! Thanks Cheryl! I find it hard to go back to a wider leg pant after wearing straight and skinnies. I do have a couple of pairs of trousers for dress though. Your advice on pant length is spot on, although I do not wear my skinnies above the ankle.

That length looks great with heels, which I can no longer wear. I wear mine with flats ot booties or tucked into tall boots and for the most part they lay at my ankle. I do cuff my chinos to above the ankle, as they look cute with sandels or runners. I also wanted to mention that a pointed toe shoe, whether flat or heel, looks better with a wide leg pant.

Love these informative posts! I wear skinnies at many lengths depending on my shoe too. I love them tucked into boots too! Thank you Jennifer!

Life was so much simplier! Thank you! Bootcut pants or jeans are fitted through the thighs and flare out slightly from knee to hem. Flares are bootcut jeans that have a wider flare at the bottom. The same rules apply. Kick flares refer to flared crop styles, which is a big trend at the moment. More on that below. If you wear them with heels and have them hemmed correctly, they make your legs look a mile long.

Full-length bootcut jeans and flares generally look best with a heel usually pumps or ankle boots but I also wear mine with peep-toe booties and open toe sandals. If you wear bootcut pants or jeans with flats, I recommend a shoe with a pointed toe to visually elongate the line of the leg. I lumped the crop flares and demi boot styles in with the pictures above, but their rules are the same as crop straight and ankle straight jeans.

Basically, any length below the widest point of the calf is fine, it just depends on how you want them to fit with the shoes you are wearing. These pants also come in petite and tall sizes, FYI. The idea of boyfriend jeans is that these slouchy pants look like you may have borrowed them from your boyfriend.

My favorite length for a boyfriend jean is cropped — so, two or three inches above my ankle bone. Typically you cuff your boyfriend jeans to achieve this length, but you can wear them un-cuffed if you prefer. Boyfriend jeans can be dressed up or down, and these days I see them worn with every type of shoe — from pumps to sneakers, ankle boots to loafers, and even sandals.

Girlfriend Jeans and Slim Boyfriend Jeans are slightly slimmer versions of boyfriend jeans, and the same rules apply. The picture below is no bueno. I actually think these pants can be quite flattering — more so than a Bermuda short, actually. You can wear them with pretty much any shoe but usually you will see them with a wedge sandal or sneakers or flats. And I think that pretty much covers all the major categories!!!

Save my name and email in this browser for the next time I comment. Great post! Is the trend now going one way or the other? Great post thank you. I always wonder what was best for different jeans. I recently purchased a pair of wide leg crop jeans. What are your thoughts on shoes for those? I will always love my skinnies, and find myself gravitating to the shorter hemlines while the longer lengths sit in my closet.

It may be time to donate them! I think it will take time for my eye to adjust. In the meantime, the cropped boyfriend-style seems like a happy medium. Thanks for this post. By the time I decide on what shoes to wear with pants my room looks like a shoe store that you turned a bunch of two year old a loose in.

GREAT post! I hope you have a great day! This is such a helpful post. How do J Crew pants generally run? Thank you! I love reading your posts. There has never been a hurricane cause this much damage this far north. Praying for you and others affected by Hurricane Laura. Oh my goodness! I hope things are restored soon.

You are probably going to tell me its old and not available. I Like the print and colors in it. Can you tell me where you got it and possibly a link to similar if it is no longer available. Thank you for this helpful post! It seems like most of the pants styles these days involve showing some ankle.

I have trouble baring ankle skin on cold days. Would you consider doing a post on how to wear jeans with socks? Thank you for all of the helpful info. TY for this — gosh we drive ourselves crazy with variety in fashion.

I have a request for your Fall fashion posts. Could you please style white jeans and booties? My white jeans are very similar to the J.
