3 Casual Dressing Looks With Cropped Pants
My over 40 lifestyle calls for casual dressing, but I still want to look polished and put together. I’ve found that 3 pairs of casual cropped pants that when worn with a cute top makes for a great everyday outfit. Check out these three cute looks with slim-cropped pants each with their own vibe.
Slim Cropped Jeans
Slim cropped jeans don’t have to be skinnies. I’m loving the new straight-leg styles, like this cute pair that features a medium wash and a beachy fringe hem. I’ve paired it with a vivid pink, striped tee and a pink denim jacket to contrast with the light wash of the jeans. Cute raffia sandals and a woven bag give this a fun vacation look.
Colorful Cropped Pants and a Pretty Top
Many of us feel we’ve done with shorts unless we’re out in the backyard or up at the cottage. That’s why cropped pants are so great. You get the coverage you need, but you still feel summery and cute because of that sexy bit of exposed leg.
If you prefer a lady-like look with a modern vibe, try pairing these indigo blue cropped pants with a sleeveless, ruffle-striped top. This is the kind of outfit that makes it feel like summer with its bold and cheery colors.
Cropped White Pants and a Balloon Hem Blouse
These sleek white pants with the straight leg fit and cropped hem are a little dressier than white jeans. They provide a wonderful backdrop to casual or dressy looks, including this fabulous pink bubble-hem blouse. Add gold kitten heels and a cute woven bag for a summer party look!
I like the first look the best. I’m fond of a crisp look. Being 5’2″, I need to be mindful of scale – especially length in pants and prints. I love the brights of the Spanish look, but my comfort level would have a pattern on top vs. bottom. Printed and colored pants say “old lady” to me – perhaps because it’s the look my MIL would wear on a cruise. BTW, I love this s site!
Living in hot, humid Florida, this is my about-town look, except when I want a change of pace with a fabulous summer dress. I like the first one and the last one best. The last one would need a short or sleeveless top to stay calm. Great selections, though.
