So here's my dilemma -- I am not one of those people who can go without socks with flats anytime before April -- too cold! But agree that socks with flats looks bad.
So all winter I've been wearing dresses with tights and knee-high boots, jeans with knee-high boots, and on and on. Love my boots but what I really miss is wearing my nice black dress pants to work with my knee-high black boots UNDER the pants. But I tried them on the other day and they felt so baggy at the bottom. So what do you wear to work when you don't want to wear pencil-slim pants with knee high boots showing or a dress. What nice black dress pants can I buy that are in style and what do I wear on my feet until it's really warm out? Thanks!! |
Ankle boots that are supposed to be worn under pants (slim at the ankle), with a heel. I like something like this: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/michael-michael-kors-asbury-bootie/3494470?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=2375500&fashionColor=BLACK&resultback=2587&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-undefined_8_D
For pants, I like the Editor pants in the Barely Boot style from Express. |
There are lots of shoes that are made to be worn with trouser socks, or am I missing something? |
We're talking about what to wear to work, correct? If so, pumps or ankle boots if you don't want to wear knee-high boots. |
OP here -- To PP -- Would love to see a pic of skinny pants that look good with trouser socks and shoes (not at all being snarky, just really need ideas). thanks |
I wear boots similar to the ones above with wool socks. I can wear them with straight leg pants, but certainly not ankle length pants. It isn't totally perfect for me though. I might have the world's scrawniest ankles, because they are not as close to my legs as those, and the cuffs of my pants sometimes catch on the boot top when I stand up. Have to do a little leg shake or hem pull sometimes. |
Whatever you might wear in warmer weather + knee-high stockings. |
This gives a good idea of how to pair skinny jeans with ankle boots and a lot of the styles definitely have socks:

With skinny pants you wear high boots, if you need to wear socks. I just wear pumps & flats without socks but commute in uggs. The other option is ankle boots with socks and dress slacks (not skinny pants) |
So when do you wear trouser socks? Is it okay to wear wedges with trouser socks or knee highs?? |
Geez, men have it so much easier... |
I'm a bit confused by your question. What's baggy--the pants or the boots?
Anyway, when I want to wear my boots under my pants (which I do, 2-3 days a week at least), I wear boot-cut pants. Which is, like, all my pants, actually. (Except one pair.) Or you can also wear ankle boots. |
OP here -- thanks for the replies. I meant my dress pants are baggy at the bottom (now that I'm finally used to skinny pants...which means they will be completely out of style soon! ). I like the Express slightly bootcut pants for work -- thanks for the link! |
I go '93 sometimes and wear combat boots with my dresses. Warning: this may cause you to want to listen Tribe Called Quest, Nirvana, etc. |
With pants, I wear flats or heels with (gasp!) nude knee highs. Barely any skin shows and it looks like, uh, skin. Just don't buy "sun tan" stockings and you'll be fine. |
