rolled up chinos with heels look

[TheElephant]

fancy this thissummer for work
any one done siilar and any tips

Looks v. model on a go see providing you are 5' 10"+ and a size 8....

if you are 5' 3" and a size 14 you will look like a frump who hasn't been shopping in the last ten years.

WHY is a pair of rolled up trews and heels ONLY for tall skinnies?
i wear heels and slim trews all the time

YET a roll means you have to be skeletal?

i think it is a great way to make your legs look shorter, and emphasise the fact that your bum is much wider than your ankle (lumpy carrot look~)

i am not a fan.

to show off slim lower leg - right length skirt, or for person with a decent booty, pedal pushers or tailored shorts ...not rolled up loose trews.

yes. if it doesn't look good that is bad. but having rules just in case is worse.

x post edgar allen. god i would look horrific in what you describe and i have lovely legs.

i think the thing with the chinos is not to have them wide.

I like the look.
Heels make it much easier to do, would look shite with flats

Elephant

lunch in the summer - yes
teaching a bunch of Yr 9 girls - no

Think for work either rolled up chinos and flats or 7/8 trews and heels. Not rolled up chinos and heels.

Unless you work at Summerfields school.

Just remembering that when 14 had a teacher who was bang on trend (timmy trendy) and we all laughed like drains and called her the Fashion Princess.

oh.

my gaff is uber cas though - is birkinstocks all summer

and i have worn my white cropped jeans to no great howling of derision....

I like that look and I'm only 5ft although fairly slim at the moment.

Those sandals are gorgeous cyb.

That look has been around for ages very easy to put together.I had to go into next my nightmare for a bracelet pressie and they have some tracky shaped low rise jeans which I tried on and were v flattering would look good with flip flops/plimsolls/wedges.Am going back for them tomorrow.Skinnies and jeggings binned!Bar one lovely Gap pair.Lovely chino type peg shaped trousers in zara really lovely grey colour nice with white asymetric t shirt and heels.I have to keep out of the shops!

Reminds me of Sat Guardian fashion page - all ages, is it?

Don't think I've ever seen a pair of trousers in there that weren't rolled up with heels.

Not a look I've ever seen in real life, though.

Like the gap ones.

wasn't it summer 2003? 3/4 length cargo pants in cotton or silk paired up with the brightest, shiniest pair of heels possible?( with pockets and ties on the pants mock-combat style?) not quite the same look - not rolled up, but still a loose trouser rather than tight/ slim-fit - and still, i felt for all but the slimmest lady, a tragic, tragic error as the fabric billowed out in the wind....

i see i have my judgy pants on

YES SJP wore some in SATC IIRC

Oh yes...post All Saints, let's dress up our combats...bleurgh.

ah thanks noddy.
larks mn is so dismissive of new looks isnt it!

it's beause we're all bitter old hags with saggy bottoms.

oh wait...maybe that's just me....

it's not a new look though. more fashion re-cycling.

DH is out so I just went upstairs and tried this with my too-baggy combats, and it worked. But I wouldn't wear it to school though - kids OK, other teachers merciless. Rural Yorkshire not fashion-forward (same Per Una cardigan worn by THREE different teachers, I rest my case).

Did this in the 80's I think, don't think I should do it again.....then again I remember thinking same about leggings, drainpipe skinny jeans and jumper dresses and I have succumbed
