Ankle-length pants – well-fitting pair with a touch of Lycra in a basic color and cropped just above the ankle are currently the trending look. But the million dollar question is how to wear ankle length pants.
Even though ankle length pants look trendy, it’s not actually that easy to pull it off. You can only make your cropped pants work, provided you know how to style them appropriately. The ankle length pants and capri are figure-flattering and can be worn by both tall and petite women.
The taller women are usually skeptical of wearing them as they are not sure whether the shorter hem lines would complement their slender limbs and if they would look even more taller.
The good news is these pants are extremely versatile effortlessly blending with any body type. While petite women can look taller, the taller one will look balanced. Even these pants can make you look graceful even when styled casually.
In this edition I offer you three different styles for the most commonly worn capri or ankle length pants. Do have a look and get some cues to appear smartly next time!
1. High Waisted Cropped Pants
To get this look, I have picked straight legged ankle pants in fuchsia by Lanvin. While the high waist sits at the navel, the slim legs fall straight. You can pair your red pants with a white crepe top. The Miu Miu embellished collar crepe top will make a perfect pairing. The pearl and crystal beads on the collar gives a rich feel to the outfit.
If you are tall or have average height then ballerina flats can be a great choice. The Sam Edelman Isabella – Nude flats come along-with beige and golden toe with glossy black at the back.
If you have knack for branded stuff then do accessorize your look with Michael Kors Grayson Monogram Medium Satchel. This satchel will instantly glamorize your regular wear.
