What footwear with wide leg cropped trousers?

Well, thank you everyone for all those ideas - I see the jury is out! In answer to some questions, the trousers aren't very cropped on me, sort of lower calf I'd say. I have long boots that would fill the gap okay, so will try those, but I also take the point that a few have made which is to drop the whole idea. I do have longer trousers...

I am with Spinnaker, as I am five foot six. Problems with my back and sometimes knees, means that for me crops from Seasalter are a full length. They are linen, and comfortable to wear. In summer,just underwear and sandals. Now I appear to be oblivious to the cold.Ah ha! My trick is to wear my polar longjohns underneath, add matching socks and ankle length boots and I feel comfortable, warm and unencumbered going round town
So long as I am clean and tidy, I really don't care what is fashionable, nor how other people view me. Try going for the comfortable look and ignore the poor souls looking up to date but frozen! Sometimes I fish a very old outfit that I can still wear, if I notice something has come back into fashion.

Why not wear them on a shopping trip and try different styles to see what suits you? I wear cropped trousers with trainers, sandals and boots but I choose trousers that are not too wide for my frame and team them with a neat shortish top. It's about getting the balance right. I'm not particularly tall but most of my height is in my legs which are long and slim. If I wear really chunky footwear I look like Minnie mouse but I find I need some chunkiness to balance out the trousers. IMO Most of us can wear anything if we get the balance right.

I have always thought that wide legged crops look clownish .
Summer wear with sandals is ok but for winter definitely no!

I have always thought that wide leg cropped trousers can look very clownish when worn by most people. Perhaps a tall slim young woman with trainers can get away with it but others definitely not!

I’ve never worn cropped trousers, but to me, they are summer trousers, which is why sandals are fine to wear with them. They’re going to look odd with bare legs if worn in the winter, but also with high boots. They’re not as smart as culottes, so not going to look right with smart footwear. Just a personal opinion.

I think the trick with boots is to have a narrow ankle and no gap between trouser and boot.

these are flat, a bit chunky, but have a narrow ankle.

these are higher, so you can also wear them with skirts

Sorry. . Just needed to mention it.

My daughter in law wears these cropped trousers and they suit her as slim and quite tall as- moi? No I think unless it’s summer - I did wear some that are 15 yrs old this summer - the style seems to have returned as no doubt jeggings will . They are a job to get over my swollen ankle bone so I dread trying to get them off !

But most of us are moving around not reading the news! Nanny .
Comfort is everything in my humble opinion.

I'm just now watching Sophie Rayworth presenting the news wearing a very smart pair of wide-legged cropped trousers. She has on high heeled court type shoes and looks amazing.

Try boots with a neat ankle and a kitten heel. I think they are called sock boots. As long as the tops don’t show they should look smart. I also like the idea of thick tights and flats as mentioned earlier.

I bought a pair. They looked fine with black tights and loafers. But my top half was a problem because I'm a busty lady and I think wide trousers need a fitted top. So I took the wide crops back.

I don't wear cropped trousers in winter! I like them with bare legs and sandals. Sorry they look silly in winter to me,just like your trousers have shrunk in the wash

Yes loafers are good!

But they aren’t elegant or stylish.

Ankle boot with a kitten heel. Very stylish.

I wear mine with patent loafers in various colours. Burgundy loafers are my favourite at the moment

Get some full length trousers ? 🤣

Yes indeed.

Cropped trousers only look good with sandals, sad fact.

Can’t stand cropped trousers in any season and wide bottomed crops … no! But whatever suits you - go for it!

Get some full length trousers ? 🤣

Long boots may look nice. Calf length boots too as long as the trousers are longer than the length. They look odd when they get stuck on the top!!

50Grammaretto Hilarious! Just because something is in fashion doesn't mean it suits all. I laugh at the thought of cropped trousers with trainers or flats, try wading through rain and snow in them.
