I just dug my linen trousers out and was too busy being pleased that a 38 was loose on me to give a shit.
I too wear them with birkenstocks.
They are both black though, I don't possess any white clothing.

But surely cropped trousers, if hitting one at the wrong spot, can make one have mahoosive calves? Is this really something we're wanting to encourage? Won't someone think of the children?

MamaG · 16/05/2011 16:21

I've never seen croppsed trousers look good on anybody. ANYBODY

I love my fit flops, but I don't wear them out - well ok I have been to the supermarket in them. They are super comfortable and I am thinking that fit flop boots may be a winter purchase in this house.

MamaG · 16/05/2011 16:23

capri pant types don't count as cropped trousers. I mean those horrific baggy yokes

GetOrfMoiCase · 16/05/2011 16:23

Cropped trousers need to flare a bit when they cut off.

If they have a drawstring or elasticated bit, or taper in, they are a no no.

MamaG · 16/05/2011 16:24

and yy re fit flops - I have a pair (fiver in chazzer shop, brand new) and I use as slippers. Well comfy

BibiThree · 16/05/2011 16:28
