7/8 pants - what's the point?

[DietRite]

And will they be good for work/corporate wear?

I think they look nice if you have relatively slim ankles. I like to wear them with heels or ballet flats and a soft shirt. Do you have any recommendations?

The point? They look better and much more chic on me than full length. Especially for corporate wear.

Yeah I have slim ankles. But won’t they shorten legs? I have long legs but just wondering if that’s the case visually.

I think they're very flattering, main downside is the chilly ankles!

I find them flattering and easy to wear at work with boots or heels or pointed flats. Great with a nice shirt or polo neck when my office is cold.

I'm a huge fan. So versatile with a brenton top, silk blouse, fine knit etc

I've long legs and they just look like my trousers have shrunk in the wash

They've been around for years so they are obviously popular. The point is they look good on a lot of people.

I’m 5ft1 - they’re awesome because I have 7/8th legs.

Can I wear ballet flats and brogues like these or do I have to wear heels with this type of pants?

I wear with ballet pumps, brogues and heels. Also can work with ankle boots if you roll the cuffs up slightly further so there's a little gap between bottom of cuff and top of boot.

I have short muscular/fat legs and peg leg 7/8 length is definitely the most flattering for me. I wear them with ankle boots and occasionally heels. I don't wear ballet flats or brogues as my feet are small and look ridiculously trotter-ish in them.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Boden Richmonds or Gap bi stretch ankle pants Flower.

I wear them with flat laceups and snazzy socks. Or ankle boots with trainer socks if a bit warmer. Another shorty who loves them. A word of warning though, don't wear with a cropped cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves, you'll look like you shrunk all your clothes!
