What jeans/trousers with chunky ankle boots?

I am completely clueless! I have some lovely jumpers/knits but am totally lost on what to wear on my bottom half with flat extra chunky boots so end up in leggings for pretty much the whole winter! As I’m quite slim, I end up looking a bit ridiculous as my feet are pretty big.

I'm looking for I think a black jean or trouser - maybe cropped? I’m 5 ft 8 and I’ve looked online but I’m lost! Can someone point me to some ideas? Boots are flat chunky sole Chelsea boot type things. They come up quite high and close / fitted on my ankle. Also - what socks?!

@Starlight1979 they look good. Would I wear a sock that comes up over the boot and then roll up the trousers? I’m so clueless!

So I would wear a slightly cropped barrel leg, or a mom jean style with a small roll. I like a coordinated sock peeking out of the top of the boot! Or a plain sock that matches the colour of the trousers.

@mixingplaydoh thanks! Do you have any particular brands of jeans/trousers attachments like?

I don’t know your budget, but I’ve got barrel jeans from both Tu and M&S and been pleased with them. Also look at Next, and the various brands available on the Next app.

I love Levi's jeans so I would do the 501 crop or ribcage bell. If you wear skirts, I think shorter skirts and knits look great with chunky boots (with tights, socks optional).

I quite like wearing mine with cropped wide leg jeans like these Mango
or full length wide leg jeans too.
I wouldn’t have the top of the boot showing, so no sock considerations necessary!
