[...] such a cut is a poor choice during peak pregger bumpiness. I am wearing my pants cuffed and at a questionable length. And, to be fair, I had serious pant length anxiety this morning and tried several different pairs [...]

I’m pretty tall, but my capris are the shorter ones. I don’t like to wear short shorts. I usually wear slacks, darker denim jeans, or skirts.

[...] below the calf and above the ankle. I am allergic to pants at this length. They are extremely leg shortening and unflattering. Models that sport capri lengths wear 4 inch heels which visually raises the hemline. I rest my [...]

[...] Walk shorts that finish at the knee (either just above, on, or just below) remains the most flattering length for any woman because your legs look their longest and slimmest at this point. Raise that hemline to reveal a significant portion of your bare thighs and you’re dressing inappropriately for your age. You’ll get away with wearing short shorts for running and cycling when you’re older because it’s important to wear the correct gear when engaging in a sporting activity. But this is where I draw the line. Mutton dressed like lamb is unstylish. Keep it chic, classy and knee-length. [...]

[...] So the quest to find a fashionable yet comfortable and affordable pair of shoes continues. While none of them make it to my “6 to 8 hour” mark, there happen to be a few “4 hour” options around. They’re perfect with dresses, skirts and knee length walk shorts. Have a peek below and perhaps they’ll meet your all-day requirement. (And remember not to wear them in the rain). [...]

I’m with Morgan, at 5′2″ it usually looks like I just hemmed my pants wrong rather than cropped pants. However, I really like how those knee legnth pants look on the last photo, top row. Maybe something like that would look good on me. I’ve always thought I had good legs

I think the lengh makes the difference. I have fat calves and slim ankles so the length needs to be either at the knee or below the fat part of the calf muscle. I love them for summer when you don’t want pants and you need to a length longer than shorts.

What is the difference between cropped pants (at the knee) and walking shorts?

I am already short (5′) and every pair of cropped pants I’ve tried have made me appear as if someone chopped off part of my legs. I’ve tried every length, and they just aren’t flattering.

As a result, I stick to light long pants, shorts of varying lengths and skirts for summer wear.

I envy women who can pull off cropped pants, though. I love the look (when it looks right) and it seems as if the stores are full of these things today!
