Wide leg pants are making a big
appearance on the fashion scene but with a shorter twist. Rather than
full length construction forcing us petite gals into sky high heels or a trip
to the tailor for hemming, designers are cropping them just at or above the
ankle.
Personally I love this
length. It wasn’t cool when we were younger because it was a sign you had
outgrown your pants a.k.a. ‘High Waters’. This cropped length doesn’t
quite show the ankles but it’s perfect for showing off your shoes! Particularly
ankle strapped sandals or booties.
I’m also a fan of a wide leg
pant for their slimming effect. The line of these pants falls straight
from the hip down to the hem, disguising the leg and creating a long line on
the lower body. Personally, I’m a bit self-conscious of my lower
body/legs and these pants offer more confidence over leg hugging
skinnies. I also feel that I can move easily and are quite cool in the
summer heat.
You may have concern that these
may have a shortening effect. Combat that by keeping your top shorter like a
cropped box top or more fitted. You want to have a high waist line so
maybe opt for a front tuck of your top. I’m a full 360° tucker a majority
of the time #oldschool.
I went with a fitted black tank
for a more casual & neutral styling of these tan crops. Incorporating
more black into my wardrobe is on my Summer To-Do list that I shared with you
earlier this week. I know, I know, it’s odd as it’s summer the season of
light colors and don’t most gals have the opposite problem of too much
black?! Not me gals, I have very, very little and honestly it’s classy
and sharp so there’s no reason not to. I just gravitate to the ivory and
navy for my neutrals. But let me be
clear, I have no intentions of diminishing my inventory of white & ivory
pieces!
Go get yourself a pair of wide leg cropped pants. I promise you’ll be comfortable and chic!
