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! 😀

@Qvcmeow I am happy to spend money on cool clothes for happy summer wear--but maybe it doesn't get very hot where you live.  Comfort trumps details about what I look like above 90 degrees.  

 

I will wear sneakers or sandals with any length pants without a worry one.

I'm 5'9 with a slender build.  I can rock crops all day long.

Love crop pants and capris.  Leggings on anyone who isn't stick thin should be outlawed.  I keep asking myself if these ladies own a mirror.  I'm not stick thin so I NEVER would go out in public in leggings.  No one wants to view bulges and fat stuffed in a sausage casing.

I;m 5'8 with slender build and also love a cropped or cuffed look, personally.I think it actually is a great look on shorter people, as it elongates for them, but that is just what my eyes perceive.

leggings are so bad for our health. It doesnt let the skin breathe and most of the time they are synthetic fibers. Its so bad for the pores/skin and gives no circulation. They are toxic and literally should be banned material.

When I think of crop/Capri pants I remember how cute Mary Tyler Moore looked in the DVanD show.

I'm 5' 2" and most of my pants are crops.  In some cases (especially if I don't get petite length) crops are more ankle length for me.  For me, crops look better than "regular" length pants which tend to be too long.

@HLP I am a very smart person, straigiht A student, and have NO wide butt.  Even if I were dumb as rocks, and had a wide butt, no reason to say that about someone is there?  And if you have a wide butt you can't wear shorter pants?  Because? That's just mean.

Im 5' tall and love some crop pants since I'm not wearing as many shorts anymore.  But I dont have a closet full of them- I dont love them all or hate them all.  Variety is what I look for in my wardrobe.
