Thighboots2

I have long been a fan of women or as call them, left handed trousers. I find the cuff to be larger then the equivalent in a men trouser this has the benefit of fitting a heeled shoe better. My straight leg womens trousers are 2" bigger than my mens bootcut trousers, and the bootcut womens are 4" bigger than the mens bootcut. I suspect its to do with the semiconcealled shoe look because a tighter cuff doesn't hang so nicely. Small detail, but one I notice on many women who try to wear slim leg trousers to cover the shoe, looks untidy.

I use them for work, so they are the formal type with a front and back crease. Another benefit is the material is much lighter than a mans trouser and so is far more comfortable to wear. Pockets if they exist are next to useless, hence why I am a devoted bag carrier.

I would disagree with FF's earlier suggestion to avoid black is possible, as long as they are clean and well pressed, then they blend to the shoe, and we mostly wear black shoes anyway, so do not create a contrast that draws the eye. Easier with formal wear of course where black trousers are almost a standard.

Freddy, haven't you heard? flares are back. One of my trousers are boot-cut and have a big cuff, but the flare is very well done. Big advantage is you get lots of air round your legs so they are really comfortable in warm weather.

I would heartily recommend the wearing of womens cut trousers, if they fit you. THe Aura jeans by Wrangler are really nice. They are just like guy jeans with a bit of stretch and useful pockets and right handed as well. IMHO, Wrangler have always made the best jeans.

Everyone should listen to Kneehighs advice, he is the man who knows. Our own personal style guru. Heels or not, you should be critical about how you look. Compared to the ladies, the effort required for men is minimal yet the benefit is unmeasurable.
