VELVET SOCK BOOT f21


I have grown to accept it. I am short. 


It won't change, however, the jean industry needs to! I have to fold all my pants bottoms up so they can have my desired length. I could cut these but I don't want to chance not liking it later. These fit so comfy! A little bit of stretch, but not enough that when they are over-worn they start to get baggy. I bought mine in a size 25, which is my normal fit and they really do fit true to size. I just feel these clothing stores need to start selling shorter pants meant for us under 5'5". The reviews for these pants on Urban's website all state they too have to cut theirs. For pants (like my velvet trousers from TopShop) with more expensive fabric or cute hems cutting isn't an option. There are tailors...but not everyone can find a good one or afford it.


I hope everyone had a good new year! Mine was chill and spent with great people.
