I guess I have to arrange a shoe audition to find out what shoes I REALLY will be wearing the most. These trusers are wonderful to wear, and I hope they will become workhorses in my work wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030966 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:00:20 +0000 Janet 1030966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! I think these are an excellent trade for the suit. Length looks really good in first pic. I'm extremely picky about lengths too. I feel totally wrong if my pants are too short, even by a little bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030961 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:54:37 +0000 unfrumped 1030961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trouser envy! Great find.</p> <p>PPL's are tough. I can wear 1.5-2" blocky heels but not every day, all year. So I had to commit and realize some trousers I won't wear on certain days. With my improved style focus (!), &nbsp;I'm getting more of a footwear focus so I can narrow down to 2 basic &nbsp;lengths! I used to buy shoe heel heights all over the map (though none high) and I had to make myself get much more picky as to where they fit into the pants picture, including the seasonal picture. Even then I have to live with perhaps being 1/2" off here or there, so I aim&nbsp;for too long rather than too short.</p> <p>Those pants are worthy of truly PPL, and a bit of heel, &nbsp;so I'd pick the heel/footwear that fits your purpose with those pants best and get it just how you like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030923 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:27:28 +0000 Ingunn 1030923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, that's what I thought you meant. If I'm going for higher heels than #2-3, I won't hem them at all. Thanks again!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030919 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:24:13 +0000 Angie 1030919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2 and #3, Ingunn. #4 looks a tad short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030891 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:02:22 +0000 Ingunn 1030891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, we double posted!! Hahaha! Thank you for chiming in, I think I knew what you would say Do you like them the way I've pinned them with the Chelsea boots, or should I go for higher heels?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030887 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:00:33 +0000 Ingunn 1030887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz and Shannon, I think I scored on these! The fit is incredibly comfortable, and I can see myself wearing short, drapey sweaters with it. I have one on my needles right now, a twin to the yellow summer version in plum.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm thinking that you've given me my answer, but Angie will be the final judge, of course. I'm glad you liked the trousers with the Chelseas.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030884 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 14:57:44 +0000 Angie 1030884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trousers are bootcut. Gorgeous on you, Ingunn. </p> <p>I am very pedantic about pant lengths. I like flared hems very long and would stick to a heel height - give or take half an inch - to wear with them. Other fashion stylists will be less fussy though. Me and lengths - it's my thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030819 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:33:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1030819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous navy trousers Ingunn. These are going to serve you well. I suspect Suz is correct - you may need to pick a heel height and stick with that. Love the trousers with the Chelsea boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030811 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:14:51 +0000 Suz 1030811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>STUNNING</b> trousers, Ingunn. I am jealous. What a great trade in for the Suit -- good thing you took it back. I eagerly await Angie's verdict on length. For myself, I fear you will simply have to make a choice. I like the length with the lower shoes as you have pinned it but not so much with the higher heel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-chelsea-boots#post-1030777 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:28:00 +0000 Ingunn 1030777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My name is Ingunn and I've been thrifting again :P</p> <p>Hi Angie &amp; all,&nbsp;<br />When I returned the Armani suit I found a pair of&nbsp;Boss trousers in deep navy. They are high waisted and fit me really well (no whiskering etc). I've been wanting a pair of navy dress pants, so I jumped. But they are a bit long, so I need high heels to be able to wear them now.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>My question:</b></p> <p>I want to be able to wear them with my new Chelsea boots. They are about 1 1/2 inches (3,5 cm) tall. Can I hem the trousers&nbsp;the way I'm suggesting in the photos? It means reducing the length by about 1".&nbsp;Will I be able to wear them with higher heels with the suggested&nbsp;length, too? I know it's not quite PPL for that, but I need them to be versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>Any advice is very welcome.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Additional question: Are these trousers boot cuts or straight?</b></p> <p><i>#1 Suggested length</i><br /><i>#2-3 With Chelsea boots</i><br /><i>#4 With a little&nbsp;higher heels (black dressy boots)</i> </p>
