Capris
This is a traditional style of pant with an inseam that is usually mid to lower calf length. Height will determine the most flattering inseam for this style, but shoot for the hemline hitting right where the narrowest part of your lower leg begins.
Cropped
A cropped pant often has a hemline that stops right at or around your ankles. This silhouette is universally flattering and can be leg-lengthening for petite gals. For the ultimate streamlined look while sporting cropped pants, stick to slim silhouettes with skinny jeans or sleek trousers to maximize your leg line.
Culottes
This style can vary in length stopping anywhere from your mid-calf to just above the ankle. It features a wide leg silhouette for an easy and breezy piece, perfect for the rising temperatures in the summertime. Wide legs have a tendency to shorten your frame, so be sure to combat this with a summery pair of block heels or wedges to add some height.
We are loving these sleek cropped silhouettes and you should too!
We know there are a lot of styles to choose from, but who says you have to choose just one? Try on a variety of pant silhouettes curated just for you when you take your style quiz and schedule a Fix. Keep the styles you love and send back the rest. Shipping and returns are always free.
