If anything stood out on the Spring runways it was the new pant styles. Harem, bermuda, pedal pusher, leggings, rolled, tailored — we witnessed them all. As someone who has always been keen on cropped pants — what better way to show off your Fab shoes? — I am psyched.
I know what you're thinking shorter-than-thou ladies, and 'tis not true; you too can get in on this fresh trend. Just add some heels (wedges are cute here) for height and keep your silhouette loose and lean and you'll actually appear that much taller. The real beauty is there are so many styles to choose from and you can create looks from items you already own.
My favorites are these cool gray scrunched leggings from the slick Celine runway, Derek Lam's simple black slims, and, for drama's sake, McQueen's yellow harem pants.

The gray ones are cute!
1As a short chick, I rock cropped pants with heels and wedges, never flats. I like the extra height.
2Meh. I think cropped pants make girls my height (5'2") look stumpy. I was glad to see the capri trend go and don't think I'll be partaking in its return.
3I'm with shmoo15, I look stumpy in cropped pants (5'3"). Especially since I'm kind of pear shaped.
4another shortie here. won't be trying it unless i find myself a pair of super-high platforms that i absolutely have to have.
5am shortie too , i thought that i am the only shortie on the planed earth

6I'm tall (5'9) and I love cropped pants!

9I agree that they make you look shorter and I'm 5'7 with legs longer than my 6 foot tall dad.
10cropped pants have never ever looked good on me
11i won't be wearing them this summer
I actually hate cropped pants - I think you have to have no hips and I thankfully do have them...
