Kick crops and footwear lab

These are the Ann Taylor 'Kick Crops'. Another cotton rich (98% cotton, 2% Lycra) white bottom. I've tried them with some of my current footwear. I have several pointy toe flats that look fine (kind of like the faux-studs, but without the straps), and several pairs of slip on sneakers that aren't shown.

Opinions/critiques, please, on what works and what doesn't. Of course, I'm assuming the length of the crops is good?!

The white crops are gorgeous on you!! Oh for your long legs! You wear these with panache.

I love them with all the footwear!! You cannot go wrong with these.

I echo Suz - absolutely fantastic pants!

Interesting....thank you for posting this! I don't know why but I like the shoes that contain white or black rather than the first pair that very nicely bookend your hair color. They work of course but don't seem as sharp to my eye.

My fave is the second pair . They give you just the right amount of lift / height to work off of the pant length . Full disclosure : I'm not a big fan of ultra flat shoes ( like your third pair ) though so take that with a grain of salt . Purely a personal thing .

Those crops fit you fantastically well and the length is perfect. I like them with all the shoes, and my favorites are #2 and #3.

Great crops on you! I like the second and third shoes best with these pants.

Love the crops on you and I like 5/6 best for footwear, but they all work.

Love these with the boots and the "rockstars".
Not a huge fan of the 1st pair, for me the boho feeling doesn't play well with the cropped pants, imo, it makes it feel less like the crop was intentional

I like them best with the yellow and white pair.

The crops look great and the 2nd pair look great to me, but it may be because the platform echos some colors in your top!

Killer crops. Are these them?

I like #3 and #5 best, but they ALL work. Great length and fit, Carla. Your curly pixie looks fab too.

Great fit on the pants.
I like the stompy yellow best but I can see the others especially with different tops and colors. The dark boots are not as summery a vibe.
I like the aspect of the ankle strap on the "Rockystuds" but for some reason the thin strappiness is throwing me off, compared to the chunkier shoe.

Thanks for the support. I've loved the cropped trouser (vs an ankle pant) since the get-go. Solves all my PPL problems (LOL!). It is still cold here, just a couple of degrees above freezing. That is why I threw in the turtleneck/high shaft boot look. Being a fan of white bottoms, I would put these into rotation immediately, but might need to fall back to boots if things don't hurry up and get warm. Also, I'm toying with cropping the long flares I just got, if letting out the hem and letting them fray doesn't resolve the PPL issue for them. I see no problem with two pairs of white crops!

I agree, though a favourite for their comfort, the cognac bo-ho style sandal is a little discordant with the crispness of these bottoms.

YES, Angie - they be the ones! The inside of the band reads KICK CROPS - modern fit. (Sorry, I've never figured how to do 'finds' on the iPad and I shop B+M.)

For fit reference: my waist 30 inches, hips 38, thigh 22, calf 14.5. I'm in a regular size 10. Fit is all day comfortable.

Another vote for the Stompy Shellys and the pants look great!

Carla, these crops look brilliant on you. I am still loving (and coveting) those stompy sandals in pics 3&4. They look amazing with these pants and your striped top.
