Cropped pants-A do or a don't?

Now cropped pants are very different from the capri pant, because cropped pants you can actually work. It reminds me of that whole Audrey Hepburn pant where it's right above the ankle. So cropped pants work, I believe, with a ballet flat.

How are cropped pants different from capris?

Crop pants and capri pants differ in that capri pants end mid-calf and flare out whereas crop pants are a bit more tapered and are just above the ankle.

What cropped pants are most flattering?

I think when you are looking for a crop pant, make sure that there's not a zipper on the side. And again no "muffin top", make sure the panty lines aren't showing, and that you have a shoe that flatters the pant.

What cropped pants are a fashion don't?

When wearing cropped pants, you don't want to have the gaucho cut or the tapered leg so much that it looks like a riding pant.
