Hey! Are You Expecting a Flood!?
We were all asked that in elementary school and I’m sure we dished it right back! Growth spurts were fashion killers but little did we know we were actually fashion forward…we simply did not have the proper descriptive word…our pants were cropped! Waiting for a flood is more popular now than ever!
Let me be clear: you can wear cropped pants whether you are short or tall. It truly depends upon the length of the pant and the length of your legs. They are all different and as my mother always said, “You never know until you try it on.” How right she is!A basic rule: the crop should rest beneath the muscular section of your calf but above your ankle. Cropped pants are slimming, modern, a summer staple and can be styled in a multitude of fashionable ways.
Crops and the updated boxy shirt
Wearing a top that skims the top of your cropped pants can make your legs look longer.Also, a skimming top also allows you to wear flats, especially the on-trend mule!
Longer tops work, too!
Don’t be afraid to pull out your favorite flow-y tunic! Just make sure your cropped pant is tapered, and a heel is a must.You don’t need to pull our your stilettos but a kitten, block, or wedge heel works perfectly!
Wear them to work!
Do you ever hear the word “slacks” anymore? That’s because cropped pants are perfect for the office.With the appropriate top, such as this pinstripe that skims the front of the pant but is long in the back,the outfit upholds an air of sophisticated fashion...think Audrey Hepburn!
Cropped culottes
This gorgeous cropped culotte is powerful enough for the Board Room and chic enough for a dinner date. This does require heels!
Crops are so easily updated with today’s trendy tees and shoes they will be on top of your summer wear list!
