I am seeing everywhere that cropped pants are out and "puddle pants" are in. They look very sloppy-looking  imho. In case you aren't up on this term, puddle pants are very wide, loose, and long enough to "puddle" on the floor and cover most of the shoe. I know I would fall and break my neck in something like these! Kate Middleton has been wearing them recently but hers are not as exaggerated as the ones on most models. Sorry I don't have the picture to post! When will SG and others introduce their version?

LOL, well whenever they do, I won't be buying them.  I've never liked pants that drag on the floor (or ground).  I like them to just cover most of my shoes, but clear the ground.

Living rural, puddle pants wouldn't last long.  Gravel, mud, you name it.  I can't even imagine them being very nice after dragging along a dirty city street.  But that's just me.

I love the wide leg pants ... but I only wear flat shoes so I've hemmed all the pants to just brush the top of my shoe  / break over the instep.

"The “break” of the pant is the fold or creasing of fabric that forms at the front of your pant leg, just above where it meets your shoe, while you’re standing. An easier way to think about it is that the pant break is the point where the suit pants break its silhouette against the shoe. Note that the break is defined at the standing position and not while you’re walking, seated or doing squats."   From online article:  A Guide to Dress Pant Breaks."

I'm really, really, really fussy about the length of my pants .... that's why I spend so much time hemming pants!   

(Hemmed 2 more pairs this morning.  Total so far this year:  18 pairs.)

A tiny bit of an exposed pointed toe with a puddle of material surrounding the shoe,  I guess she is having a little fashion fun.  I'm on team @ALRATIBA regarding the break in the pant. Wondering about the longevity of the new droopy pants....curious what others think of this style for Kate.

Don't they have mirrors?  I hope they have good insurance: prediction is for accidents.....hope you aren't one of them.

This reminds me of those captions that used to appear in Glamour magazine. Fashion Victim.

I like them, long or "puddled" to the extend that the pant leg may be somewhat too long, but not long enough for the fabric to reach or drag on the floor or ground. I guess I could say that I am a fan of "almost puddle pants".

Kate dresses well and alway looked good; however, not even she can bring off these pants.  First time I have ever seen her in something that did not flatter.

Would think you would need platform shoes to pull them off...
