Wide leg pants can be tricky for us shorter women. But I’ve always been a fan of them. For one, they’re oh-so-comfortable (especially compared to skinny jeans – rip skinnies). And two, they actually can be super flattering, especially in a high waist version.
There are so many options for cropped pants these days! I opted for Aritzia’s The Effortless Pant Cropped, and they did not disappoint. Their Signature Effortless Pant come in different lengths as well as cropped version, which hits perfectly an inch or so above my ankle. Sizing was difficult at first. I’m wearing a size 4 with a waist of 28″ and hips of 36″. I initially tried a 2 and they were way too tight in the waist, but I’m hoping they’ll work by the summer, so I kept them. Ideally, I’d wear these with some sort of heeled sandal, but I don’t have any heels anymore (I sold and donated all of them because they no longer fit after my last pregnancy. Total bummer). I’ve always had good luck with J.Crew shoes, and I’ve got my eye on these strappy heeled sandals or (and?) these wide thong heeled sandals. I just can’t decide on the color, and I’m waiting to see how cheap I can get them on sale!
