Which is more flattering-capris or crops?

Hi all, I remember some of you have commented that one particular style is not that flattering to the legs. I’m looking for something appropriate for the warmer months. Also what exactly are peddle pushers?

I imagine it would depend on the length and width of your legs...

I personally like capris on myself best. I've got short legs and crops make me look stubby. Also capris are much cooler, especially in a woven cotton fabric.

Capris and peddle pushers are about the same length.

I think it really depends on your shape as well as the shape & cut of the item. I have been wearing more crops in recent years.

I prefer capris because they're shorter than crops....which remind me of high water/ flood pants.

Petal pushers are pants below the knee that are fitted to the leg. They were once worn to keep your pants from getting caught in your bicycle chain.

They are sometimes called clam diggers....you didn't have to roll them up with clamming in shallow water.

I have seen some crops that were as short as capris and capris that were the same length as crops. It's just a name.

You have to choose what length looks best on you no matter what they are being called.

For me it's capris in the spring/summer and crops in the fall/winter.

Trying on different lengths will tell you what fits you best.

I'm only 5'4" but have relatively long legs and can wear pretty much any length but prefer capris.

I think capris are less flattering than crops. They usually end around the calves and look like your legs are shorter. Just my opinion. The longer length looks slimmer.

I like crops more than capris but I do wear both. I'm 5' 2" so some crops go a little above my ankle, but I don't mind. I don't like a loose, I guess you can say wide leg or similar to that, with a loose top or tunic. Looks sloppy on me.
