Cropping them gives them a real point of view! Color me converted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909601 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 22:00:32 +0000 The Cat 1909601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The short version styled with the white blouse looks gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909582 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 21:13:11 +0000 Carla 1909582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krishnidoux, I wear them with flat shoes since heels are no longer comfortable for me. Loafers, sneakers - and I'm looking for sandals for summer.</p> <p>I measured and hemmed mine at that sweet spot Angie speaks of (2 inches above the ankle bone) but have yet to post pics at the new length. I can always go shorter if the YLF hive mind suggests I do so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909531 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 19:18:29 +0000 Elizabeth P 1909531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to see them shortened less.&nbsp; Some of the wide crops I got last year were longer than this, and they are wonderfully flowy.&nbsp; </p> <p>What a difference though!&nbsp; They look great, I predict you'll love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909520 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 18:36:09 +0000 krishnidoux 1909520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, do you find them more useful at a slightly longer length? Do you wear them with heels or flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909497 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 17:07:46 +0000 Carla 1909497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I shortened my Uniqlo crops per Angie's recommendation. They were as long as yours in the original pics, but shortened now to 2 inches +/- above the ankle. They are longer than your second set of pics, however. I wore them a bit (black turtleneck and black ankle boots) before retiring from work. When things warm up I am going to wear them with sneakers, t-shirt, and boxy jean jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909494 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:51:48 +0000 Katerina 1909494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them in the cropped length and the way you styled them with the white shirt. Very beautiful fashion forward outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909478 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:56:37 +0000 Chris987 1909478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a difference! I have never considered wide crops&nbsp;for me but I really do see the point now and how to style them. Showing some of the lower leg really changes everything and eliminates the very widest part of the pants. Your hunch was right in buying them, and they fit so perfectly in the waist/hip area. Never say never.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909458 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:38:26 +0000 Angie 1909458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO MUCH BETTER. Try the chopped length with flats and sneaks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909310 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:07:19 +0000 CocoLion 1909310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length you picked for shortening is perfect. &nbsp;And I like the classic look of the first top with these trendy pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909302 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 07:56:46 +0000 Aurore 1909302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an impressive difference shortening them makes!! I love your outfit with the white shirt, the proportions are great and it looks very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909293 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 06:55:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 1909293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these on you, you have a terrific waist and this really showcases that.Looking forward to seeing them after they ve been altered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909284 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 06:15:18 +0000 Jane 1909284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorter makes so much difference. I don’t think I would have thought of it but it just does make them. Will you always wear heels with them? They look super with heels but I wondered if there were other options that you’d consider. Great that your foot is out of the cast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909280 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 06:04:44 +0000 jussie 1909280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, they’re quite funky. I prefer when you’ve styled them with a full tuck rather than a half tuck....<br /> Enjoy your new pants :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909252 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:30:28 +0000 ChrisM 1909252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a difference!!</p> <p>Love the styling too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909249 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:25:54 +0000 Jaime 1909249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally correct! I mean Angie's advice of course. They are begging for the chop and look terrific in the second set of pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909246 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 02:20:11 +0000 SarahD8 1909246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

I’m not usually a fan of cropped, but this looks fantastic with the white tucked shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909222 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 01:14:39 +0000 Aquamarine 1909222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a difference cropped! I wasn’t really keen on them in the first set of pictures, but these look fantastic to me now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909206 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:32:12 +0000 krishnidoux 1909206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, trying them pinned right as we speak! I'm bringing them TOMORROW to my seamstress ;)&nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>Angie</b> and <b>Chris</b> for the insight and the helpful advice.<br />Will post again with them cropped.&nbsp; </p> <p>Here are below what they look like pinned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Last pic: my left leg is a little shorter than the right (pic in mirror, which explains why my left lg looks like a right leg). It's hard for my eye to adjust. Still debating whether I'll go shorter.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909199 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:18:19 +0000 ChrisM 1909199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m the absolute last person that should comment - I bought the wide leg chinos from AT that I still am not thrilled with. (Something weird going on with the way they lay at my hips....) and cropped pants aren’t my thing.</p> <p>But, Ms. Obvious here: If they’re supposed to cropped they sure don’t look it. They should be longer (I.e. full length) or shorter. Can you pin or tape up the hem a bit, then try to style them? That might give you an answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909197 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 00:15:40 +0000 Angie 1909197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Krish</b>, they definately need a GOOD hack as you mentioned. Like 6 to 8 inches maybe - then you can create<i> a wide crop pants look</i>.&nbsp;</p> <p>You need to semi-tuck or fully tuck tops with that waistband, which you've done perfectly here.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe you can pin the length shorter so that I can get a better sense of &nbsp;the proportions with footwear and tops?</p> <p>For toppers, I like short and long with wide crops - rather than regular length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-to-style-these-crop-chinos#post-1909189 Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:48:44 +0000 krishnidoux 1909189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help!<br />I got these&nbsp;High Rise Wide-Leg Crop Chinos in Khaki&nbsp;on sale from The Gap last week.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?pid=256494003&amp;CAWELAID=120299880000510820&amp;cvosrc=cse.google.PLA_Brand&amp;cvo_campaign=758671188&amp;cvo_adgroup=40264306976&amp;cvo_crid=179797953555&amp;Matchtype=&amp;tid=gcpl000001&amp;kwid=1&amp;ap=7&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw8MvWBRC8ARIsAOFSVBVNWkzGO0s6YMrKsh1ghOPh12RdPSi2tdFs4ITnwk054EyVWneVVw0aArigEALw_wcB">https://www.gapcanada.ca/brows.....k=12413545</a><br />In the fitting room, I thought that for the price it was a good deal.<br />Now at home I realie I have no clue how to style them.
