I think they work when worn with the right sandal, but it seems like it's dependent on a warmer climate and season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies/page/2#post-1142528 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:33:28 +0000 Nicole D 1142528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although, I must say, as a tall woman who is often asked where she parked her canoe, it is nice to have a "cropped" option so that abbreviated pants are more likely to look intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142520 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:27:57 +0000 Laura 1142520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where's the "dislike" button? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142518 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:23:08 +0000 Dee 1142518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, does that mean you actually saw baby bootcuts in stores??&nbsp;I've been hoping to find a decent pair for months and the selection has been terrible. Hopefully this means there will be some in stores soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142464 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 00:30:24 +0000 Anonymous 1142464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only tiny faint praise for them is they work well for some of my boots with a more fitted lower calf/ankle. Too much scrunch there wads up in the boot, but an ankle length skinny works well. It relegates them to being only worn with mid calf or higher boots though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142437 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 00:10:17 +0000 Janet 1142437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meh. I'm not a fan. The combination of that length and the skinniness is not flattering on those of us who carry more weight in the bottom half. Besides, few regular length pants are long enough on me -- these just hit an awkward above ankle spot that's neither here nor there.</p> <p>And here's my big beef. They are not short or roomy enough to be cool in hot weather, nor long enough to keep ankles warm in cold weather, so for me the wearing season is very limited. I'll pass all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142425 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 00:01:20 +0000 Style Fan 1142425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never worn skinnies.&nbsp; I do wear leggings with a tunic, long shirt or mini skirt even though I am 58&nbsp;(so there Daily Mail!).&nbsp; I can not stand feeling like a sausage.&nbsp; I like my denim to be a bit looser.&nbsp; This is why I love boyfriends and straight jeans.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have some linen pants that are wide legged but I have longer legs and am tall (5'8"") so they work for me.&nbsp; I would pass out from the heat in skin tight jeans in the summer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142403 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:33:43 +0000 viva 1142403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, when will you write about those oversized chinos that you purchased? I've been waiting! I am so interested in other pant styles too, which is odd, because I am a cropped-skinny JCrew devotee. But I want to BREATHE this spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142354 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:06:41 +0000 Angie 1142354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And baby bootcut jeans have never looked more inviting to me than today.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142351 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:05:19 +0000 Angie 1142351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cciele described the differences perfectly. Cropped skinnies are ankle length, and suck the living daylights out of you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer my own cropped pants to be much shorter - calf length or there about&nbsp;- and not as tight.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for alternatives, I vote low rise pleated denim silhouettes, culottes, harem pants, baggy tapered styles with full length inseams, linen cargos,&nbsp;tapered Bermudas, breeches, baggy chinos, boyfriends&nbsp;- anything at all - as long as it's not that unflattering length and a "sausage casing fit". And when you're petite, ankle lengths are&nbsp;either full length or not short enough. And when you're regular height like me - you want to climb the walls - it's all too short.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142346 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 23:01:59 +0000 Cory 1142346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these! But mostly because I'm short (just over 5'3"), so they are like the perfect length for me. I'm neutral on them when they are actually worn as intended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142343 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:59:09 +0000 Gaylene 1142343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always Trying, I think what most of would like is for some choice because a cropped skinny doesn't fit every figure or taste. I actually would love to see a slim, straight-legged linen pant for my spring/summer option, or a midi length gaucho style in a soft silky swishy fabric that draped from a fitted hip, or even a looser, slouchy floor-length pant in a gauzy cotton. My athletic calves and non-existent hips and rear means that a leg-hugging cropped skinny that fits my lower leg is ridiculously huge on my hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142339 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:55:20 +0000 Suz 1142339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder why this pant length has become so very popular. It is a mystery to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142293 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:08:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1142293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, Angie!&nbsp; I noticed this today myself.&nbsp; All the pants were proudly labeled...."Ankle Pants!"&nbsp; I'm a poster child for the dangers of these pants, although some body types wear them well.&nbsp; They do show off shoes, but I can't see that they work better than long pants in the heat.&nbsp; For heat, a loose pair of linen or cotton pants is far better.</p> <p>Hoping.....Hoping.........perhaps ordering talls........</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142290 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:06:58 +0000 cciele 1142290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think, when we talk about "cropped skinnies," those are leg-hugging pants that&nbsp;end around the ankle. Capris are cropped pants that fall below the calf and above the ankle.</p> <p>Many here&nbsp;are fans of pants cropped on or above the widest part of the calf, because they tend to look more flattering than ones with lower hems.</p> <p>But much depends on styling and footwear.</p> <p>In other news, I think I'm getting used to the look of cropped skinnies. It's everywhere in the Bay Area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142282 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:00:42 +0000 always trying 1142282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you all please describe what you want in alternative styles?</p> <p>I hope to never see skorts, coulotes (sp) , gauchos, or any of those things ever again, and will never wear anything like that. Wider leg pants in any length shorter than full length pants are called capris, right?&nbsp; If women are suppose to look so awful in capris what is the alternative?&nbsp; If they have skinny legs we just call them cropped skinnies and not capris, so that makes women buy them because someone loudly and clearly told them not &nbsp;to wear capris.&nbsp; </p> <p>I certainly can see knowing what lengths and widths of any kind of pants and or bottoms one feels comfortable wearing, and feels looks best on them. However I have to add, and it has been said on another board in a discussion of frumpy, wider leg bottoms are cooler in hot weather than something that is tighter to leg to let air circulate, and they will wear them when shorts are not appropriate or for any reason not to wear shorts--or bare legs with skirt.</p> <p>Another thought, as baby boomers are aging more women are aging out of bare legs in shorter skirts or shorts, so we need alternatives that don't make us suffocate in the heat.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142271 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 21:49:21 +0000 Anonymous 1142271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they come in tall or long sizes?

It gets hot, and I don't feel comfortable wearing shorts. I just make sure to wear the right shoes with them. It may not be my best look, but I don't really care when it comes to being comfortable on weekends. I don't wear them to work or out to eat or anything.</p> <p>I guess cropped pants are longer than capris, right??? Those I don't wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142170 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:56:22 +0000 Dee 1142170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm,&nbsp;cropped skinnies often fit me like a cute cigarette pant in terms of length, which I love for summer,&nbsp;so maybe I'll have some fun without having to hem for change. One of the few benefits of being petitie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-stopping-cropped-skinnies#post-1142167 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:54:07 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1142167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muahahaa! Like Susie, I've been known to wear ankle jeans as full-length too--I had some with zippers on the bottom in the 80s, and well, well, here they are again.
