Cut Winter Short with the Cropped Pant

It’s been hella cold this winter–at least on the east coast! But with Spring on the way and temperatures slowly inching up we’ve been thinking of what to add to our wardrobe with warmer weather on our minds. And a cropped pant is definitely on the list. They’re already being worn by models off duty paired with short boots and that’s one look we want to try, but if you don’t normally wear cropped pants here are some tips:

• Unless you’re planning on going to the gym, look for cropped pants not leggings. They’re really not so flattering at shorter lengths.
• Petite girls should look for pants that hit right above the ankle or with a little flare.
• Footwear matters with this length but there are plenty of good options including: ballet flats, short boots or heels. What not to wear with cropped pants? We don’t love creepers, laced up oxfords or anything too heavy. Cropped pants have a lightness to them so keep that in mind when you select your shoes.
• Some of our favorite are the wider leg pants. Your top should hit the waist or be tucked in if you go with this option to avoid being overwhelmed with fabric. This style is really great with a crop top too.
