And then within that category, there's ankle length, capri, culottes... I don't think all those sub-categories always have totally consistent definitions. </p> <p>Even though I still usually wear my jeans full length, almost all the students on my big campus wear jeans that are ankle bone length at the longest. Full length bottoms are very rare around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1818331 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 17:48:25 +0000 skylurker 1818331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What difference do you make between culottes and cropped wide leg pants? To me, culottes refer to the 70s style, just over the knee, version of wide cropped trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1817776 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 05:08:16 +0000 Gigi 1817776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, you are too funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1817775 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 04:55:53 +0000 Ledonna N. 1817775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm gonna try a pair tomorrow.

Any shorter than that and it's more of a clam digger, pedal pusher, or knicker. Longer -- below calf -- it becomes a cropped pant? But that all depends on how long your legs are. I've had so-called capris that are the same length as many of today's "crops" -- like, 24-25" inseam. Any shorter, like 20-22", and they would not look good on me from a flattery standpoint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1817701 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 23:16:15 +0000 Karie 1817701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are capris and cropped pants kinda sorta the same thing?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1817699 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 23:13:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1817699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, I think capri pants are a 'you know them when you see them' thing.

Ankle pants SHOWCASE the ankle. They don't cover the ankle. That's the point! (Retailers can be sloppy with item descriptions - as an ex-retail buyer, it drives me bananas).</p> <p>It also doesn't help when we see people wearing ankle pants that are too long for them. Makes things even more confusing.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-case-there-is-any-confusion#post-1817625 Thu, 22 Jun 2017 17:50:35 +0000 rachylou 1817625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha, Barbara Diane!
