I usually don't like cropped pants, but I think she carried it off very well.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770509 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 21:52:48 +0000 Bennett 1770509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only change I would make is in the width of the pant leg. A little bit wider and the hem should not get eaten by the boot's shaft, plus give a nice soft fluidity when she walks. I love the length of the crops as is, with this bootie. </p> <p>Such an elegant woman, and obviously loves fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770473 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 19:36:32 +0000 Anonymous 1770473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. I think I just love the colours.&nbsp;<br />My eye is not trained well on pant lengths.

It seems like culotte length but maybe not quite wide enough to be culottes? I don't know but I think it's a pretty good look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770423 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 17:47:57 +0000 minimalist 1770423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Diana said. I like the pants length. </p> <p>The catching would bother me as a wearer in a sensory way; my not-quite-knee high boots are happily getting a lot of wear with crops, because I like the way zero-gap-ever, zero-catch feels. Her look is probably edgier, mine probably skews retro. I like retro, so all good.</p> <p>Most of the comments on that site seem to be from people who don't get much IRL exposure to these looks. Hadn't seen the site before; thanks for the introduction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770403 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 16:15:54 +0000 Janet 1770403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it, and I'm not the biggest cropped pants convert at all. Yeah, the pants might be a little short, but overall I think the look is really nice. To me, the long coat makes the look -- I really only do the cropped pants look when I incorporate a long jacket. Somehow that makes the difficult proportions work on me, since I'm not so slim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770390 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:30:15 +0000 Suz 1770390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great boots! And what an elegant outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have this catching problem sometimes with the tops of the booties, bottoms of the crops...it is tricky to get it just right.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would love it if Angie weighs in. She is the expert on pants lengths.&nbsp;</p> <p>There is something that makes these feel somewhere between crops and culottes and that is perhaps the difficulty. But like Diana, I think if her boots were taller it would not be an issue. Or if the trousers were wider on the bottom they would not catch.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770388 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:27:18 +0000 Anonymous 1770388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post.&nbsp; Very interesting comments.&nbsp; Ditto to Meredith's comment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770387 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:27:15 +0000 Sara L. 1770387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed that her pants are caught on her boot in pic #2 as well, so I guess the lengths are too similar.&nbsp; The pants could be longer or the boots higher to fix the problem.&nbsp; Other than that, I think she looks lovely and I like the cropped pants and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770385 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:24:03 +0000 JAileen 1770385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that website. She's one of the few who wears pants. Most of them wear dresses with huge heels except for QE2, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770381 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:08:02 +0000 Diana 1770381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length of the culottes. I think the boot shafts need to be taller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770380 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:05:52 +0000 Ginger 1770380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I think the key for me is that the pants are visibly hanging on the top of the booties. I haven't heard Angie say one way or another, though, so maybe that's just me! And of course denim is less likely to do that than suiting material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770378 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:57:15 +0000 El Cee 1770378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess my eye has adjusted to the look of cropped pants (at varying lengths) because I think she looks stunning. An inch or two longer might be optimal but, since the pants and the boots are of similar shade and depth of color, I still think the combo works. But she is so beautiful that she could wear a burlap bag and pull it off. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770375 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:39:56 +0000 gradfashionista 1770375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem a tad short, unless she's going for capris, but the way the pants fall make it seem like they're trousers. Oh, to have the challenge of cropped pants looking too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770374 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:35:16 +0000 cindysmith 1770374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be a very nice outfit if the boot/pant length weren't messing with my eyes. It just seems elegant and soothing until you get to the bottom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770372 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:33:31 +0000 Meredith 1770372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, I looked at the pictures before reading your post and actually thought she was pulling it off perfectly. I could see how adding maybe an extra inch of length could work, but I guess I just prefer this look with a more dramatic crop. I don't think this is an issue of a royal struggling with a trend, I think this is a trend that may never see widespread appreciation. As you suggest, many royals fans might prefer the more classic silhouettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-trousers-and-tall-booties-in-the-royal-world#post-1770370 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:16:29 +0000 Ginger 1770370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2017/01/royal-outfit-of-day-january-20.html">Royal Outfit of the Day</a></p> <p>Queen Letizia of Spain is known for her business-like attire and experimenting with trends. Today (or yesterday by now) she tried out cropped pants and high-shaft booties. The verdict on Royal Order of Splendor is mostly a NOPE... but many of the commenters do have trouble with the more trendy trends.</p> <p>The right length of crop is challenge for a lot of us on YLF, I know, so maybe it would be fun to discuss here!</p> <p>In my opinion, the trousers are clearly way too short, approaching capri land.&nbsp; They need at least another couple inches. As is, even with these close-fitting sock booties, they're catching on the tops (pic #2).</p> <p>What do you think of the rest of the outfit? </p>
