I work in an office with a very formal dress code. I'm also very old so my internal "rules" about work trousers state that they should be as long as possible without actually trailing on the floor, and that any glimpses of sock etc are to be avoided as far as possible.
However I have noticed that the bright young things in the office are starting with the ankle-skimming, almost cropped look and there's no doubt that it does look more contemporary.
So on a whim I've bought a cheap pair of Gap Tailored Crop trousers which finish pretty much on my ankle bone.
Is that too short/too long? (I'm going to get the waist taken in so could easily get the hems taken up a cm or two). And what shoes do you wear? I have all the shoes in the world I'm just not used to wearing them with this length trouser. And what do you wear on your feet? Knee length pop socks?
I'm old and confused
