how to wear chinos without looking... er... butch

[BrendaBlackhead]

I have just bought some chinos - great fit and length (and trousers never fit me).

However, I can't think what to wear with them. I'm 5'3", and my legs are quite short, and although I'm a size 8 I'm not a lean size 8.

Whatever I pair the trousers with leaves me looking like someone on a Women's StandUp Comedy Tour.

Suggestions?

Thank you. Sandals might look ok - Converses just did not go. Should it be a v-neck or round-neck cardigan?

I like chinos with a tucked in blouse - I have a lot of Topshop ones with prints which work well - and bare feet and brogues. I think chinos and a pale blue denim shirt can look good too, but if you feel not right in them, return and get something else!
