Prolly will not for this pair.<br /><br />Shown with a spring casual jacket from TJ Maxx--which I swear is my last ruched sleeve jacket! (Hmm). It has a white-gray dot that makes a nice bridge to white items--I don't wear a lot of white, but this helps with mix &amp; match. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919327 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:58:12 +0000 Krista 919327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like all of these looks - very crisp for summer! To my eye, the length of these crops are fine, but I do not have any&nbsp;crops in my closet&nbsp;because I prefer shorts in the summer. &nbsp;That being said, I am aiming to add one or two pairs to wear over the spring while at work, so I will be watching this thread to see what kind of feedback you get on length. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919325 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:54:05 +0000 Sveta 919325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would like to see them in a shorter length as well. As is they are not awful at all but I am not sure they have the most flattering proportions either. Have you tried to roll them up to see how they look?<br />I also prefer a longer jacket but I don't think I would mind a tucked in top, it is the cropped jacket which I don't really feel with them.<br />The flats sound like a great summer find!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919234 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 03:56:06 +0000 Beth Ann 919234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the deeper color of these pants is particularly pleasing --- great with many colors.&nbsp; The ease is terrific, too.&nbsp; As for the length?&nbsp; I'm very unsure on this topic myself.&nbsp; I'd suggest taking photos --- front and side, at least, with them rolled once and twice.&nbsp; In my opinion, the perfect proportion depends upon the taper of the pant, the height of the wearer and the shape of the calf.&nbsp; In other words, it's more art than science.<br /><br />I'd wear the length you have here, because I have muscular calves, and don't like to bisect the widest portion of my lower leg.<br /><br />I like these pants best with longer toppers.&nbsp; Summer will be here before we know it!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919147 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 01:26:28 +0000 pil 919147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know from my posts that I'm not too with it with this sort of thing, but I think the length looks good. I also agree with Rachylou about the longer tops.Hope you can make it through the summer with them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919091 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:59:33 +0000 rachylou 919091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the crops with the longer tops/toppers - as in 1 and 3.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eeking-out-with-last-years-crops#post-919089 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:50:15 +0000 unfrumped 919089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here are some summer stylings of old with new.<br /><br />I&nbsp;have mostly been a khaki pant/non-crop person, but did have&nbsp;several pairs and&nbsp;purged most that looked stumpy and frumpy. I saved a couple of pairs due to specific colors &amp; fit.<br /><br />I&nbsp; &nbsp;saved these&nbsp;because I like that they are &nbsp;slightly tapered, cotton and have an easy fit but fit in the waist. They may be at the dreaded length, though. <br /><br />They are cuffed and I haven't tried rolling them. At the time I bought them, &nbsp;I was looking all over for actual long cotton or cotton-blend pants with the same taper and fit but have never found any.<br />#1--a last year's outfit creation with the same top &amp; blazer I have now paired with my EF gray cuffed trousers. Wedge sandals provide leg length but are not my most comfie.<br />#2--trying with jean jacket--not sure I like the proportions as well<br />3#--casual with new mint and gray boatneck top--was parched for paler colors.<br />Not shown, but have also worn my fuchsia casual blazer with these and it works pretty well.<br /><br />Also shown in the photos are some slipper flats from DSW. Not sure they show up well but are a kind of denim blue stripe on cream with a trim of indeterminate red--it can skew red or pink or fuchsia. These are proving to be a good summer flat so far--go with denim, khaki and low-ish contrast with pale legs; can wear sans socks, not a hiking show but comfie for most of day, errands/shopping, in place of tennies.<br /><br />What say you?&nbsp;Still too frumpy,&nbsp;or only if shorter? I&nbsp;want &nbsp;to try to hold off on any new crops this&nbsp;summer, get another year from&nbsp;these because don't need&nbsp; &nbsp;more casual wear (being cold-natured I might wear these when others would be in shorts) and really prefer&nbsp; lightweight long pants, but &nbsp;maybe could eek out the summer with some better stylings.
