If skinny jeans and Chelsea boots don't work ....

[ginorwine]

I'm a little top heavy with small feet ...
If I try skinny jeans with Chelsea boots I look like a carrot / max wall !
I just cannot get it to look right !
Do I have to get long boots ? ! And what do I wear with dresses say if I buy some chunkier style boots !
All suggestions gratefully recieved as I was freezing in converse last winter !! Ps biker boots do not suit me one bit !

I wear shoe boots with skinnies, which are a sort of ankle boot really, but low tops.

I struggle with this look too, as though I'm not overweight, I've got really muscly calves but tiny ankles and small feet. The only thing I think works on me is if the jeans are slightly too long so they ruck up a bit at the top of the boot, or if they're slightly cropped so the bottom of the jeans sits just just at the top of the boot. Iyswim (I've confused myself!). Both these sort of balance out the proportions between ankle and calf more though.

Also ankle boots with a chunkier heel/sole - I wear a lot of Swedish Hasbeen clog boots.

I don't wear ankle boots with dresses though, I think you have to have super skinny calves to get away with that. Knee boots ok though.

Skinny calves don't work in ankle boots with dresses, I speak from experience.

I think they need to sit a tiny bit higher than the top of the boot, and obvious not see sock sticking out of the top!

twinklestein But really, do you think so? That does make me feel better though

I find I can get away with it if I wear a long vest and then a jumper on top. makes me a bit more streamlined or something?! And I have been known to wear legwarmers to fill the gap between skinny legs and the boot top.
