what do wear to cover your ankles? I don’t want to expose anyone to my pale stubbly ankles. Are knee highs naff?

Er nothing. It would look weird imo, and defeat the object of trousers of that length.

I don’t care about people seeing ankles that are my skin colour even if not shaved that morning so i just wouldn’t worry about it. If it’s a bit cold I sometimes wear knee high nude “tights” under my trousers and it’s looks but find they tend to roll down if slim fitting trousers and hard to fix them.

*it looks fine

Shaving your ankles ?!!

I've had to buy an epilator so I can show the odd inch of leg.

Thanks everyone - I was hoping there was a lazy solution but looks like I’ll be digging out the wax strips and the fake tan Grin

I wear fishnet socks - added warmth and blurs my pasty skin

bobstersmum · 20/10/2019 13:59

Just wear full length trousers?

TalentedMsRipley · 20/10/2019 14:00

Er..nothing.

CauldTattie · 20/10/2019 17:15

I wear either plain black, fish net or patterned pop socks like these.

Socks! In a contrasting colour.

Bare ankles for as long as possible then snazzy socks in a contrasting colur. I just bought these to wear with navy shoes and ankle skimmers.

Gingernaut · 20/10/2019 19:53

My legs are so short, ankle grazers and 7/8th length trousers fit me to the tops of my shoes.

No trouble at all.

I've seen shoes worn with contrasting ankle socks.

I've also seen sheer 'nude' pop socks worn under the more obvious socks.

Really depends on what shoes I’m wearing. Ballet pumps = nothing; boots = socks.
