Question about cigarette trousers/skinny legged trousers. Please help.

OK everyone. This has been bothering me for a while. Like the cigarette/shorter 7/8? type trousers. Question is what do you do about the gap where the trouser ends and your feet start? As the colder weather approaches is it cool to wear something specific. Don't think I could go barefoot/legged in the middle of november.
What do you suggest?

I wear nude popsock things - there will probably be lots of people on soon to tell you that I am deeply unfashionable etc, but tbh they are pretty much invisible. M&S Illusion are the best I've found - v pale rather than 'tan' coloured.

I did wonder about pop socks. Thank you.

Popsocks Shock

BettyMoody · 28/09/2014 16:46
Shock the marks ones are a) hard to find ( i dont mind wearing with full length trousers) b) colours are too pale or too strong

I sometimes were my slightly cropped trousers with long black socks and ballerinas - looks fine.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/09/2014 16:47

Always loads in our Marks. They are v pale - but so am I!

BettyMoody · 28/09/2014 18:11

alright Casper

hanginginthere1 · 28/09/2014 18:21

As I'm tall, my only fear would be a gap developing between end of trouser and top of pop sock!

Not friendly enough to be Casper right now.

Pack of 5 in superdrug for £3. They are a lot paler on than they look in the box and last ages.

TychosNose · 28/09/2014 18:37

I Get the knee high ones to avoid the danger of the top being seen

HalfATankini · 28/09/2014 18:53

Always go for knee highs instead of ankle highs. Avoids the horror of a pop-sock-top.

QueenCardigan · 28/09/2014 18:55

Oh yes, definitely knee high.

Last year I got black pop socks, the ones that look like opaque tights and sometimes wore them with a loafer or brogue or ankle boots.
