It's a very sexy look, granted - I tend to wear straighter, looser trousers to work. Actually I think they look better on women with some more curve (not that the straight-hipped ladies don't look nice too). And overall size isn't a factor IMO, I see plus girls rocking them and think it looks great. I never understood people saying that you have to 'hide' your big hips and thighs by wearing flared pants.. all humans are extremely tapered from their hips down to their ankles and I think it looks good.

I am 5′3″, and want to wear my boots tucked into my skinny jeans. Should I be wearing mid-calf slouchy boots, or should I be wearing boots to my knees? What will make me look taller and slimmer?

You can absolutely where skinnies when you are a little curvier everywhere!

While the default perfect pants length (when hems skim the surface of the ground) works beautifully for boot-cuts, flares and wide-legged pants and jeans; it won’t work for skinnies, tapered-legs and super straight-leg pants and jeans. Narrow pant-leg openings scrunch at the ankle and over your heels instead of skimming the surface of the ground no matter how long their in-seam. It’s therefore fab to wear these types of long pants ankle length. This is an acceptable and ultra fashion forward look. And thus far the only exception to my very rigid rule.
