I don't get all of the ankle pants on the Q! Please bring us some regular length pants, especially jeans! We have crops and capris, but ankle pants just look silly IMO, like a kid whose pants are too short! Fashion trends come and go, but I prefer to spend my money on classic styles that will last over time, especially when prices are so high!
100% agree. And I'm only 5'1.5" I wear a regular pant more than even petite lengths, which sometimes run too short on me, by a lot. I'm petite, but longer legged than torso. And while I like a cute capri...that No man's land of a chopped off pant doesn't look good on anyone. And yet, it's become a popular fashion. I hate the look, just unflattering to me.
As for it substituting for a "regular length" pant for some short people, if that works for you good. But in my opinion...a true petite looks "right" on a petite person that needs a short length...but the other is not proportioned, overall, correctly for a petite length. Others may come for me and strongly disagree...ok.
Just my opinion.
I do like an actual "ankle pant" that is full length but comes to or just below the ankle bone, tapered to show off a cute shoe, especially this time of year. But I'm assuming @lizzief you mean the cropped off looking pants. Especially in a flare (yuuuck) or a wide leg...dumpy. Ok, nuf said by me. Like I said...if some of these do work for shorter women to get a better length for them, then glad for you.
