How to Wear Ankle Length Pants: 3 Styling Ideas

Ankle-length pants – well-fitting pair with a touch of Lycra in a basic color and cropped just above the ankle are currently the trending look. But the million dollar question is how to wear ankle length pants.

Even though ankle length pants look trendy, it’s not actually that easy to pull it off. You can only make your cropped pants work, provided you know how to style them appropriately. The ankle length pants and capri are figure-flattering and can be worn by both tall and petite women.

The taller women are usually skeptical of wearing them as they are not sure whether the shorter hem lines would complement their slender limbs and if they would look even more taller.

The good news is these pants are extremely versatile effortlessly blending with any body type. While petite women can look taller, the taller one will look balanced. Even these pants can make you look graceful even when styled casually.

In this edition I offer you three different styles for the most commonly worn capri or ankle length pants. Do have a look and get some cues to appear smartly next time!

1. High Waisted Cropped Pants

To get this look, I have picked straight legged ankle pants in fuchsia by Lanvin. While the high waist sits at the navel, the slim legs fall straight. You can pair your red pants with a white crepe top. The Miu Miuembellished collar crepe top will make a perfect pairing. The pearl and crystal beads on the collar gives a rich feel to the outfit.

If you are tall or have average height then ballerina flats can be a great choice. The Sam Edelman Isabella – Nude flats come along-with beige and golden toe with glossy black at the back.

If you have knack for branded stuff then do accessorize your look with Michael Kors Grayson Monogram Medium Satchel. This satchel will instantly glamorize your regular wear. Now complete your look with Mari Rosa Bangle Set. The sparkling brown gemstone-studded bangles of 15 in golden and brown shades complements your sleeveless top.

This is the perfect office wear. To get this look, I have picked the ANGLOMANIA Veteran twist pant byViviennne Westwood in gray. The slim-fit straight-cut pants come with ankle button plackets, which offer an edge to this vintage-inspired pants. Plus, the draped front pockets add some unique elements. Be warned if you are heavy at the bottom then avoid these pants, as the protruding pockets will make you look even more heavier at the waist area.

I have paired this trouser with a cute red top with short sleeves and plunging neckline. The basic idea was to create a mix of formal and semi-formal look. I have picked Christian Louboutin heels for this outfit. The Christian Louboutin Pigalle is named after one of Christian’s favorite neighborhood i.e. Pigalle. The stiletto heels will define your serious fashion statement.

Now to accessorize this overall outfit, I have picked Boohoo Darcy Block Colour Ostrich Effect Grab Bag and completed the look with ALEXIS BITTAR Crystal Pendant Earrings.
