Ankle pants

I am 5'8" and they just look like I'm wearing pants that are too short. You have so many cute sets that come with ankle pants. Please offer tall so I will want to buy them!

I think the key to wearing ankle pants and having them look nice is for them to fit closer at the ankle. In my opinion when the bottom of the leg is too wide they just look like floods. I have several pairs of the WWC slim leg ankle pants and they look very nice on me. They are 29" long, though. I'm not sure I'd like them if they were any shorter. I get compliments when I wear them. BTW, I'm 5'7" with fairly long legs.

I agree with you........narrow legs work/look much better for ankle pants whether you are wearing heels or flats. I also prefer 3/4 sleeve tops to have closer fitting sleeves. IMO the closer sleeve is a "thinner" look especially for fuller busted ladies.....

Omg I have the same problem, I am 5'11". I bought some tall ankle pants from JC Penney And they still made me feel like I looked like I was wearing high waters. Lol

I think ankle pants are the dumbest concept designers have foisted on us. Why do people want to wear pants that appear to be too short? I can understand crops or capris as the are definitely designed to be short summer wear but ankle pants just look like bad sizing.

Agree that a tapered or slim ankle makes the look intentional versus the flood look. Totally agree about the wide 3/4 sleeves! They are so unflattering and add visual weight.. I don't know why qvc makes so many tops with them.
