Short Trousers

Are short trousers acceptable? I am not talking about a short break, where the trousers only just touch the shoes, but when the trousers stopping and inch or so higher. In my opinion yes. When wearing boots like a chukka or Tricker ankle boots, you want your trousers to be short enough to allow people to see that you actually have boots on. No sock or legs showing please. I like the Thom Browne look of overly short trousers, but just on Thom Browne, not much on anyone else.
