I know the word capri is a big no no but I don't know how else to describe the look I'm after. I like the idea of wearing a short pant that falls right below the knee (clamdiggers may be a better word maybe?) with tall boots. How do I carry this look into winter? Do I have to tuck? Roll it up? What kind of fabrics should the pants be? What kind of fit? Tapered? Wide pant?

I've recently lost a lot of weight so I'm experimenting with leggings and straight jeans although I'm still not skinny enough for the beloved skinny jean. But I'm tired of bootleg jeans and want to play with the idea of shorter pants and boots. Help!
