Skinnies and chelsea boots

Not as easy as you'd think. Was ready to do at weekend with baxters and they didn't Enc right at the bottom. Scoured frigging Pinterest and I need jeans skinnier so they finish just above either by design or rolling. Plus socks.

Anyone else found this?

Yes, I'm never sure how to do it either. If I roll them up I can see my socks, which looks stupid.

Topshop baxters?

My baxters finish above my ankle, I wear black silky tights pop socks and then boots. I have quite scrawny ankles, so big gap around the shoe looks ok.

Where do your jeans stop? How gappy are your boots?

Yeh is tricky. I think Joni are better with Chelsea boots. Sometimes they do slightly cropped ones. I just got normal ones in a 30 instead of 32.

BettyMoody · 13/10/2014 07:49

I have one primark ones that are a 30. I'm going to redye thrm black. They should work. Sock. Like this. Hold on

Ankles like a baby's wrist. Boots open but not too flappy. Might need scrunched down socks. But not like this

I roll my jeans up as well. I AM DOING IT NOW.

AmberNectarine · 13/10/2014 11:25

No Baxters not skinny enough. I do really skinny rolled up a bit, like this

AmberNectarine · 13/10/2014 11:27

Jeggings (did I say that) with zip ankles look best or v tight skinnies turned up

BettyMoody · 13/10/2014 18:24

ok the primark premium skinnies £7 worked fine
Bloody boot munched my right sock right off though - another battle to face

I've found the same, I'm a size 16 at the minute and have short legs so rolling them up looks a bit funny too. I might have to get new boots :(

GeorginaWorsley · 13/10/2014 19:23

I find that the skinnier the Jean the worse it looks on me.
my best jeans for short boots are Bodenham skinnies.

GeorginaWorsley · 13/10/2014 19:23

Err bloody auto correct.

BettyMoody · 13/10/2014 21:15

LOVE. Bodenham. Please make it be a thing

Don't skinnies with chelseas make your feet look big? Flat shoes/boots do that to me.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/10/2014 21:19

I do similar to Amber. Need to make sure that socks are low enough (I roll them under a bit). Otherwise I tuck skinnies in and wear with scrunched legwarmers over top of boot.

BettyMoody · 13/10/2014 21:23

Pooh no to tucking in surely. Shoes carefully chosen not to look like sideshow bob

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/10/2014 21:24

My feet are a three and a half. No risk of them looking too big!

Pooh to you too, Grin I like my legwarmers when it's cold and they pad out my skinny ankles a bit too.

cheapskatemum · 13/10/2014 21:34

I love my leg warmers too RemusLBG was overjoyed when I found them in shops again (old bint, can remember them first time round). Have Bodenham skinnies too, now just need the Chelsea boots.

RonaldMcDonald · 13/10/2014 21:36

yy can look like golf clubs if not executed properly

CointreauVersial · 13/10/2014 22:31

Arf at Sideshow Bob. That's why I returned the Lolly Dawson boots to Clarks. I looked a right loon in my Size 7s.

I do a bit of rolling myself, although I have one pair of skinnies (Levi Demi Curve) which are massively long, so I just leave them to scrunch on top of the boot. Looks OK.

BettyMoody · 13/10/2014 22:35

Yup. I did rolling with black socks. I have something or other busby from Clarks
