Footwear with 'mom jeans' once the weather changes?

[NatashaRf]

Totally in love with some mom jeans I tried on.

I'm 5'3" so generally buy short length and the ones I've tried on (M&S, short length) are fine for now with flip flops/trainers and no show socks.

But they're total ankle swingers.

What would I do for footwear once it's cold for my ankles? It's so hard for me to accept that the ankle swinger look isn't bloody awful!

Even buying regular length I wouldn't know what to do...

Mom jeans are a bit 80s (in a good way) so could you tuck them into some shortish slouchy boots?

I wore them last winter with chunky ankle boots, which come up quite hight on the ankle and black socks...

I think socks and trainers would be fine too.

I wear mine with socks and trainers

'I think socks and trainers would be fine too.'

Totally. That's what I'm planning. The socks will get thicker and woolier as necessary 😊

Ankle boots or trainers for me.

As above with lovely woolly, interesting coloured socks.

Another vote for thick (cashmere in my case) socks and trainers.

Always cashmere socks for winter, and yes, flat ankle boots, or trainers

I wore mine with heeled Chelsea boots and a chunkier version of a Chelsea boot that went just over my ankle. I think lower ankle boots that show a bit of ankle and then having the jeans just above look good but it is a little bit chilly!

Dr martens boots, converse boots, trainers

Chunky black laced ankle boots - they have them in M and S - I tried them on today, same height as you and they look amazing. They are the ‘vegan’🙄 I.e. non leather ones!
An older woman was asking my opinion on shoes and she looked at the platform ankle boots on me and said ‘oh, they are lovely, you look so modern’!!! I am middle aged and she was my mums age.

Cashmere sock fans, do they need hand washing?

Dr martens,especially Jadons.

I'm planning to spend a/w in bigarse clumpy Chelsea boots. They come up quite high on the ankle. Will leave a small gap until it gets too chilly.

While Cashmere socks are locker, I find them a bit high maintenance, so go for Merino wool instead. And last winter I got some mohair ones from the Cambridge sock co. The colour range is so amazing, it was really hard to stop myself from buying them all!!

*lovely
Not locker 🙄

Nice. How do you wash them?

Ankle boots - Chelsea, DM or high top trainers

@Lottapianos wool wash in the machine per the care instructions

Great, ta
