My turn: crop or cr*p...

I think I like these crops but I need some help. Showing full length and cuffed like Aida did with ankle boots. Not great photos or particularly styled - on purpose, because I don't want to make a huge effort to style them. If they don't look good here, it's not going to get much better.

All input on fit, length, etc. welcome. Thanks!

Bonus WIW today: Cheap cartoon sweater, Joah Brown joggers. Yeah, I spurged on these with a discount code and I adore the fit - slouchy yet pretty flattering in my book, and totally comfortable. The only problem is that they are a pet hair magnet, like all black knits!

I like them. With this exact outfit I prefer them turned up, but generally like and wear the longer length myself. Love the cartoon sweatshirt!

What Shevia said. I think they are easier to wear than you might think. I kept my longer pair and am wearing with booties now (it's still cold here, or cold again after a warm spell) and I might also keep the shorter ones.

Both look good but I prefer the full length because when you roll them up they lose the flare.
I also like the third outfit, it looks fun and comfortable.

Joyce, these are not flared - they are the Current/Elliott cropped straights below.

Oh, sorry. They look like a small kick flare to me. I have some straight cropped ones by Genetic LA and they also get a very nice mini kick flare effect, similar to the one in your first picture.

No worries! I'm so used to skinnies that anything else feels like a flare to me now. Have you posted any pics with yours?

Joyce B

Veteran

I have one from when I got them last year. The problem I have with mine is that they get knee bags. Maybe I need real kick flares but that will make me look shorter legged...
Let me see if I can dig up my post.

I really like them, Una. Both ways. Though I prefer the non-cropped version.

My mind keeps wondering how would they look with pointy toe heeled pumps. ( Do you wear them? )

It does not show well in my pictures but you can see it better on the model, there is a little bit of flare.

I think your cropped jeans fit you very nicely.

Oh, I like yours a lot! I think the raw hem draws the eye as if it's a flare, and I can see it more on yours. Thanks for the link!

I like yours better, maybe we should swap! The other side of the mountain is always nicer, right?

Perfect . Keep and wear both ways . I have an identical version of these and they are my favourite jeans for the moment . Disclosure : you had me laughing at crop or cr$p. Best description ever. And.....you are the only woman I know who can wear a Pow sweatshirt and look cool. You're the best

Aida

They look great Una! Wear both ways. Do you do ankle strap footwear at all? If so try with those, too. This length works particularly well with lower ankle straps versus the higher ones where the strap is over the ankle.

I like them both ways. I think I prefer them cuffed with boots, and longer with flats.
I like your yellow sweater!

I like them both ways but prefer full length because the hem adds interest. And that "pow" sweater? Where do you find these things? Fun with a capital F.

I like the versatility of being able to wear these both ways (and definitely not cr*p). The Pow! shirt is wonderful on you.

I like the cropped pants. The look suits you. I also like the black joggers...very cool. Pet hair shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't have a white dog like I used to have!

Add me to the growing list of Fabbers loving both renditions of the hem of the crops. They look great on you!
Also loving you in the green 'pow' sweater...cool look!

Momo

Veteran

Love the 2nd outfit!
The Jeans look great too. I think I prefer them rolled.

Runcarla

Veteran

Unrolled is my first choice, but that is just because I'm developing a sugar eye for the frayed hem, and it shows to advantage in #1. #2 works as well, so you have a choice. But, 'yes' you can wear the crop - these are a flattering fit on you.

Tanya

Veteran

I like the jeans both ways, but have a slight preference for the unrolled as it is more dramatic that way. Love the sweatshirt and I chuckled at your post title, very creative.

Definitely not cr*p! I think these crops will be just as easy to throw on as you hope they will be. Look great here.

Colette

Veteran

Not cr*p at all. LOL! They look great on you, both ways. I have the same pair as Aida and I was so happy to see the positive response to Aida's cuff because I have been doing that too. Of course I do prefer them down to see the full effect of the hem treatment (and think I'll wear them down more with sandals) but I think the single cuff still allows the frayed edge to show so you don't lose all of the look. I also think they look like slightly different jeans cuffed so it's a twofer.

Your Pow shirt is so fun and looks great on you, I really like the joggers too. I keep a supply of lint rollers for all my dark clothing, and I have a non-shedding dog. Worth it!

I like the cropped jeans worn BOTH ways -- fabulous, and nice to have two styling options. (LOL on the "cr*p" reference -- No, certainly not that at all.) You look fantastic in the joggers… a great silhouette for you. Your Pow! sweater is such fun.

Mochi

Veteran

It's a bit hard to see, but I think I really love the joggers. I am excited and thinking they are great on IT types. The others are nice too. I am really wanting to hear from petite women here about how the crop pants are working. It seems counter-intuitive that they would flatter, but I guess you prove that theory wrong.

Anonymous

They look perfect to me, and I like how you've adjusted the length for taller footwear.

Thumbs up from me too - for both ways you're wearing the jeans, Una.

I really can't understand why so many of you are fretting this style so much -- it looks great! I see absolutely nothing wrong with this on you. Both cuffed and uncuffed versions look fine. Honestly, you wear this look better than I do. Relax and enjoy!

That sweatshirt is really fun too.

LOL, I don't even understand what you meant by cr*p:-)). I particullary like them, and would kill for a pair like this! nr 1 better than nr 2, but wearable both:-)
