I don't care how tall or short you are, they look dumb on everyone.  Like their pants shrunk.  High-waters.

Saying everyone looks dumb in a particular style actually makes you sound dumb.

I'm 5'1" - don't do crop pants. Makes me look shorter. 


@ellaphant I'm sorry to hear that.  I'm 5'1 3/4 and I look fabulous in crop pants.  I wear them a lot.

They're a darned sight better looking than skin tight leggings of any length.

It's a nice change from skin tight leggings.

I have just accepted the fact that I am vertically challenged and I don't care.  I am fine the way I am.  They make step ladders.

 

Besides, what's wrong with being short?  Is that supposed to be a negative thing?  If it is, I didn't get the memo.


@Carmie I have a few step ladders around here.  They are useful when the 6'3" husband I "invested in" isn't at home!  Woman LOL

Short people unite! I'm 5 1/2 or 5/2, depending on who's m measuring. ISome of those crop pants look cute, but I'm hesitant to spend full price for pants that I'd wear part of the year. Then there's the issue with footwear. I wear sneakers all the time, and without the right shoes or sandals it would look like I was wearing high-waters. I've had high-waters when I was younger; not a good look! 😀

I'm 4'10"....but unable to "unite".     I can wear ANY length.   It depends on your proportions, not necessarily your height.

@Qvcmeow   I've worn Sperry Crest with crops and they look cute.  Super comfortable too:

A lot depends on the leg shape. I stick with straight legs and lighter colored shoes and don't think they make me look any shorter than I am. 

 

I'm 5' tall and love cropped pants, capris, bermuda shorts. I wear them all summer.

I have had a hard time getting used to this look.  I have 2 pairs of denim crops, but now that it's hot weather I don't want to wear anything other than bermuda shorts.
