Yes - they just rest above the ankle bone. It is a silly fashion and not very flattering.

The Trousers look ok, if you are tall with long legs and slim, but definitely not for me.

I like ankle grazers especially if I’m wearing heels

I think she looks fine, apart from the things she wears around her neck.

Re: Seriously weird fashion!

I can't stand wide leg trousers. I buy a straight fairly narrow leg which suits me best. Ankle grazers are OK if you're tall, slim and young - but then most stuff looks good if you fulfil those requirements don't they? I really don't like those awful polyester things with a built-in front seam that old ladies sometimes wear.

I think ankle grazers totally rock with heels. It works.

Smart move Silver Tabby. The Toyota part tripped me up some. The only Toyota I’ve ever heard of were ones you drive

The red trousers look very glam - more for a night out I would think. They aren't what I'd call straight leg - more like very wide leg - palazzo pants maybe?

They're nice anyway - I'm sure they look good stitched up.

Sorry - my trusty Toyota is a fantastic Sewing Machine - would be lost without it.

I think they only look wide legged in that picture because the side seam is so open, Carol, anyway - they are definitely straight legged now!

Yes I figured that much out.
That’s cute.

I have a sewing machine & serger. They are definitely helpful. I make my dogs coats for winter. It’s fun.
