Then I guess I prefer ankle pants for myself (2 inches above the ankle bone). Up to 4 for cropped. If I go 6, I'm halfway to my knee!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remedial-question-ankle-length-versus-cropped#post-1899749 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 21:30:57 +0000 Angie 1899749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cropped Pants</b> = 2 to 6 inches ABOVE the ankle bone.

The first one on ankle length was really eye opening, and I am going to make both favorites.&nbsp; <br />Somehow I had always thought that ankle=cropped.&nbsp;<br />Isabel - I too gravitate toward menswear styles, although my style is pretty darn feminine.&nbsp;<br />rachy -&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I hear you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remedial-question-ankle-length-versus-cropped#post-1899683 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:20:48 +0000 rachylou 1899683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. Gosh. Maybe my ankle pants aren’t too long after all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remedial-question-ankle-length-versus-cropped#post-1899682 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:07:10 +0000 Anonymous 1899682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I very often see the colors, fits and even styles that I'm wearing in menswear rather than womens although I don't wear men's clothes. What your describing could also be kind of a retro womens pants length which I also like.</p> <p>&nbsp;I would say "yes" to this, that right at the ankle with a fairly narrow ,untapered leg is fine with me.</p> <p>I'm not fussy about pants length as long as it's flattering and looks deliberate. I'm having kind of a hard time appreciating the cropped flare length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remedial-question-ankle-length-versus-cropped#post-1899680 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:05:19 +0000 Suz 1899680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2014/02/24/two-flattering-lengths-for-ankle-pants/">https://youlookfab.com/2014/02.....kle-pants/</a></p> <p>See also:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/03/25/troubleshooting-tips-for-leg-shortening-cropped-pants/">https://youlookfab.com/2015/03.....ped-pants/</a></p> <p>I personally think the PPP for crops depends on the style of crop, the footwear, the leg shape/ length of the person wearing, and whether or not the waist is high on the pant and whether the person tucks.&nbsp;</p> <p>For myself, weirdly, a slightly longer crop (about 2 to 3 inches above the ankle) can be a sweet spot (vs. the 4 to 6 than Angie mentions) -- this is because my calves are proportionately shorter, I suspect.&nbsp;</p> <p>For a true ankle pant, I like it to hit on or just above the ankle bone.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, weirdly, I actually prefer ankle length or cropped skinnies to full length (whatever that means with a skinny).&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remedial-question-ankle-length-versus-cropped#post-1899674 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 14:27:12 +0000 BrieN 1899674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all<br /> I apologize if this is a repeat topic but I'm confused. At Banana Republic the other day I tried on a pair of pants. They hit about half an inch above the top of my oxfords showing a small bit of skin. I thought they should be shorter--the sales associate said they were good or maybe should be a hair longer.. Is there a length of pant that is ankle but not cropped? </p>
