That Zara page shows primarily higher-shaft booties, by the way, a more trendy pairing. You've got longer legs so you'll have a little extra lengths room to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1564089 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 14:41:13 +0000 texstyle 1564089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cropped lengths with the taller shaft booties look the best for fall/winter wear. Either flared cropped or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1564045 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 12:57:32 +0000 donnat 1564045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was an education. I guess every length can work depending on your footwear and personal taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1564011 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 10:38:41 +0000 rute 1564011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! Simple top, simple colors (black or white) and taller heeled booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563912 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 00:56:34 +0000 Jaime 1563912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it is definitely a matter of taste. For me the wider the hem the higher the shoe (all the way up to about 2 inches). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563884 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 22:53:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1563884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the longer ones and the drapier ones best, and a very limited or no gap between boot and pant edge. Also a wider flare (that's my quibble with my genetic jeans, as I was telling Elisabeth, they're not as flared as I would have thought.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563883 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 22:51:41 +0000 Style Fan 1563883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Lisa.&nbsp; Find what you like and wear it.&nbsp; I posted a pair awhile ago and most people said to cut 6 or so inches off.&nbsp; I couldn't do it.&nbsp; I like my wide legged cropped trousers just above my ankles.&nbsp; Nerdy looking.&nbsp; I have been wearing that look for a few years.&nbsp; With clunky shoes.&nbsp; </p> <p>I felt nostalgic looking at the pictures from Zara.&nbsp; I did love that look from my past.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563871 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 22:05:17 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1563871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair a while back and wore them once. &nbsp;I have pulled them out of the closet at least once a week and tried various tops/shoes and put them back each time. &nbsp;I want to make it work too but can't seem to figure it out. &nbsp;Based on the number of threads on YLF about length, width and footwear for this trend, I have concluded that it is just one of the more challenging looks to figure out. &nbsp;It is starting to feel like too much effort and perhaps is taking the fun out of fashion for me.</p> <p>I hope you figure it out. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563866 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 21:58:43 +0000 celia 1563866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember something about shorts and boots proportion, like the shorter the short the shorter the boot should be.<br /> Maybe some kind of relation applies here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563789 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 18:10:15 +0000 unfrumped 1563789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To try to extend my current culottes to fall-booties, I am going to wear these Munro boots that have a narrow shaft (pic&nbsp; below). While not pointy, they are somewhat streamlined in shape.</p> <p>I agree with CocoLion, the oxford&nbsp;or high-vamped&nbsp;shootie with the longer, wider culotte is too clunky for me.</p> <p>If I were to buy warmer culottes, such as wool or tweedy version, I would&nbsp;probably target&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;them just a bit shorter, and also presumably they would be less full, in a winter fabric, than these which are drapey poly,&nbsp; and wear with tights and either a similar boot or, if I had them, do more of the gaucho pant look with a taller boot and the culotte covering it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563783 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 18:02:34 +0000 missvee 1563783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Lisap - pick your sweet spot and just go for it. My favourite of the Zara looks is the white peplum top worn with black cropped trousers and what looks like high shaft black boots. It's got that " column of colour, makes me look taller " vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563778 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 17:55:52 +0000 CocoLion 1563778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see everything on the Zara page. &nbsp;Oxfords, mules, ankle boots and mid-calf boots. &nbsp;It seems, anything goes. &nbsp;My least favorite is one with a longer culotte and a shoetie type silhouette but that's probably just personal. &nbsp;It seems like the uglier the look, the potentially cooler it's going to be. &nbsp;That jolie laide thing, I think Angie also blogged about it as the hip to be square trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563768 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 17:05:04 +0000 Anonymous 1563768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this whole look is tricky. to pull off.&nbsp; Too much work for me, but a good fashion challenge for anyone who's up for it!&nbsp; I think you just have to experiment a lot with length and width,&nbsp; plus have the right shoes to make it work.&nbsp; I like the longer, narrower ones&nbsp; better than the shorter and wider ones, but that's just me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563766 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 1563766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This whole issue of pant length ( including current posts about cropped kick flare jeans ) is interesting - and all I take away from it is that it's totally up to the wearer. &nbsp;This is proven by all of the different lengths on the Zara page . &nbsp;I personally prefer the versions that are called cropped trousers rather than the shorter culotte versions &nbsp;, but that is entirely a personal thing. &nbsp;I think you can pick whichever look you're after and go for it! &nbsp;In terms of which shoes look better with pant length? &nbsp;Ah - again, just go with what you like on your own leg. &nbsp;That's my story and I'm sticking to it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/regarding-wide-leg-cropped-pants#post-1563761 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 16:49:54 +0000 catgirl 1563761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or culottes or whatever you call them! I have gotten lots of different feedback on pairs I've posted, and I would really like to make this look work for winter so I can have a different silhouette in my closet. But the whole idea of what length is best seems to be a real debate.</p> <p>Here is a whole page of looks from Zara - various lengths styled with various shoes in various ways. Which ones look right or wrong to you and why?</p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/trousers/culottes-c733899.html#product=2776916&#038;viewMode=two" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....ewMode=two</a> </p>
