Oh I love this so much! Every one of your outfits looked top notch. I'm a wide leg fan and I have two pairs of cropped ones. I see what you're talking about with proportions and how crucial they are. Believe it or not I was just trying to make outfits with them this morning. I really struggled, so I resorted to a dress instead for a special luncheon I'm attending. I love your ankle boot with it and the blue denim. It's too hot here in the summer to wear jackets or Blazers so, I bought a few button-down blouses in different shades and am having fun tying them at the waist. I love that idea so much, and you can tie the sleeves around your neck or purse handles when it gets hot mid day.
@@YourGuideToStyle yes I can't believe I never thought to do that until this year. I always try to use cardigans in the past but they're just too hot unless your own air conditioning
Today I pulled a pair of wide leg ankle cropped pants out of storage and was uncertain how to wear them. This was so helpful! Amazing how just tucking a shirt transforms and outfit. 🥰
I am tall and have long legs. Growing up I could never find pants that were long enough. When the cropped pants became popular I didn't like them because they made me feel like I did when I was a teenager. Just recently I have decided that these cropped pants really do work for me. Thank you Jamie for showing great combinations.
I had the exact same experience. Growing up I struggled finding pants long enough. Today it seems easier to find long pants but I have been wearing shorter pants also. We long legged girls are lucky, we can do both!! Also, I now love my long legs😊
@@jessacco4277 Much easier. At 6ft2 I ran into pants quite often that require a 4 inch heel to make sure I don't damage the hem while walking. If they are high waist too, I look like a skyscraper (I like!).
Loved these tips and how you were able to demonstrate what works and what doesn’t. The longer light pants seem to be more versatile. But love both. Really loved the versions. Learn so much from your demonstrations. Thank you!
I loved this video! A tip that I learned about the length of cropped pants is the rule of the triangle. Stand in front of a mirror with your legs touching. Place the right foot at about 2:00 and the left foot at 10:00. You should notice a triangle around mid calf to the ankle. The length of your pants should end anywhere within the triangle. Mid triangle is considered by some to be the most eye appealing length, but I believe it is a personal preference. I hope this helps!
The space in between the legs is virtually the same whether my feet are at clock-demo angles or both at noon. I just would say do 4/5th or 80% of your regular inseam. Much easier.
This video is my jam. Linen pants are my summer uniform. I don't do shorts and I live in Arizona so I live in linen pants. I've now have more than 10 pairs in all neutral colors and in super long, ankle length and crop length. I love them all. My favs right now are the old navy lettuce edge waist crops. I have all the colors. I wore that same off shoulders old navy top and the crop pants out to dinner last week. I got so many compliments.
Jamie Lea, I recently found your site while doing a search and I’m so glad I did! This was a well-coordinated (excuse the pun) style guide on styling cropped pants with outfits that can take most of us into spring/summer as well as early fall! I am a capsule wardrobe girl who sews most of her own clothes, and I can easily translate your guide into a “sew the looks” with the patterns I already own. I would even duplicate fabrics (who doesn’t love a good quality linen?) Looking forward to watching future episodes! ❤️
I love the look of wide legged crop pants but have struggled to know how to wear them so they look proportional on me. I am about your height. Thanks for giving me so many ideas on how I can style my own. I love your style guide!
I like the utility jacket with both pants but it really looks good with the longer pant. Thanks for this info, never really liked cropped pants but I may give them another try
So helpful! My body shape and height is a match with yours so I feel like I finally found my personal stylist! You explained why everything you styled worked well or not. I’m so glad I found your channel and look forward to more of your inspiration.❤😊🎉
Thank You! I have been waiting for someone to do a What-shoes-goes-best-with-different-style pants vid, forever!! I own a couple pairs of cropped, straight jeans. And I was at a loss as to what shoes go best with them! Please do more of these type vids! I have a massive shoe collection (lol). I need to kno how to wear them with what outfits. I am 5 ft 2, under 100 lbs, pear shape, for reference. Same with my purse collection! I wanna kno what sillhouette/style of purse goes best with which outfits, too! :)
Good comments! I am tall and don’t love crops since it reminds me of what issues I have always had with buying regular length pants. Lol! Everything feels like crops. I am wearing them some but also find them to be too short sometimes. It’s weird to have to order y’all’s to get crops right. Crazy times. As I’ve aged, I dress to please me and must do an okay job at it. I get a lot of compliments. Always a work in progress. Love your channel!
I'm very happy and satisfied with you. This video saved my bet on two wide legs and cropped pants that I didn't know how to style outside of basics (whites T-shirt and button up shirt) But on top of that is extraordinary is your approach to achieving this or that outfit .It's a real styling course with a lot of thought and know-how.So I learn with you.To each of my comments I thank you but it will never be enough so always thanks, thanks
I keep rewatching this video. I am older and have taken my time to integrate the wide-legged cropped pants into my wardrobe. Your illustrations are wonderful
Love your sense of style! It’s refreshing to know others struggle with getting things “just right”too!! You experiment and I love watching the different styles emerge. For me, taking a picture of myself helps. Also, remembering to look at the side view too! Thank you!
Great ideas. I need this. Love the dark shorter versions especially with the denim jacket. The lights ones not so much they look to big but the belt helped.
Thank you! I think some of them might work for you! Maybe the tie front button up outfit with the longer pants. You could look for a wide leg that was not as wide and flowy, maybe more straight.
And a tip for the combination at 14:00. At the front it is really nice, but you wear a to-be-tucked button up. Get one with a straight back hem instead if you don't tuck. Then you can see how well the butt wedge continues into the A-line of the legs.
Thank you Jamie - a practical guide to wide leg crops, which look amazing on you. Thinking I may even be able to make an ankle length version work for me, probably with some elevation in the heel, paired with a fitted jacket. The rule of thirds is key I guess. I love the colour of the shorter pair - brown is my "black" and I've just found my perfect "white" utility jacket, which is ecru, which would look fab with brown. You highlighted a great point about a belt. I struggle with belts which, when done well, certainly elevate an outfit. I'd love to see a video about belts, what works and what doesn't. I'm an hourglass and feel my rectangular friends fare better in the belt department, in that they have more "real estate" to play with. So far, have narrowed down to a medium width version looking more in proportion for me, and in a low contrast colour so as to not dissect a small frame. Your expertise would be most welcome. Thank you for all you share with us Jamie. I love your videos and your style.
I have been experimenting with belts lately and have never really worn them before now. That would be a great idea for a video! Thanks so much and thanks for the compliment on the pants!
Love the utility jacket, it looks great either way! My favourite was the oversize shirt, tied at the waist. I really like cropped pants! All the outfits that you put on looked fantastic including the outfit you are wearing at the beginnng.
I normally do not wear cropped pants since I have very small ankles, but I do like the longer cropped option. You have inspired me to try on some when I go shopping.
This is great👏 I am the same height and a cello shape, I am slightly bigger on my bottom half but not too dissimilar to you. I love wide leg cropped linen trousers and keep looking for flat front, high waist, side zip versions but they are elusive. I do like the longer trousers as they elongate the leg but would never wear a long blazer, only ever a shorter version with a nipped in waist, again not easy to find when the fashion is oversized atm. Loved your tips, definitely trying them out!
Thank you! You are right about those styles being elusive. I haven't seen any size zip or flat front. They are mostly elastic waist and pull ons. When you do find and purchase blazers like that hang on to them!
Wonderful examples! I loved these looks and they are all my style and very wearable. I also loved the brown pants on you; although I understand they are not your faves. Really enjoyed this video!
I always figured I can't wear wide leg because I'm a pear and this makes my bottom half too heavy. But I can do a kick crop or slight bootcut crop much better. This video is so interesting to be able to see so many combinations. Just slight changes make such a difference! If I come back in another life I'm definitely going to order myself a different body shape!
I was very interested when you said you are a pear. I am also a pear plus I’m only a 5ft petite so wearing a pant like the one she is showing in this video is quite a challenge. However, I would like to try so could you please explain what a “kick” crop is? I think I know what you mean by a “bootcut” crop but could you explain that as well. Thank you so much!
@@elfriedeschmidt4033 hi fellow pear! A kick crop is the same as a cropped bootcut. The thigh area of the pant is close fitting then just at the knees it starts to flare out just a bit.
Jamie, Thank you for making this video. Now I don't need to worry about whether my wide leg cropped pants are the "right" length. I can just work on styling the correct proportions for my body and which sandals / shoes are the most flattering.
With the tank and brown pants I did not like the utiity jacket as the boxiness was frumpy. I bet a lightweight cropped cardigan like the Halogen ones from Nordstrom would be a good option.
Q&A do you agree with the saying that "beauty knows no pain". I'm trying to teach my young teen daughters to put effort into self-care and their appearance including fashion, skin care, and makeup. They're enjoying it and very interested and learning. I feel though that it's a delicate balance because I've been seeing in them both internal and external pressure to look a certain way, and it's hard to know what's healthy and unhealthy thinking. One of my daughters is willing to wear very uncomfortable shoes and wants to go on a diet! My other puts an extra amount of time into her hair and makeup. I just see how it can be confusing for them, because our culture puts so much attention on appearance, and yet if we don't, then we look like we don't care.
I think dressing appropriately and enjoying fashion can be done sensibly without losing comfort. It's important for women to model behaviour for their children, and I try and emphasize to my girls that one can be nicely dressed, fashionable, care about sustainability and be comfortable all at the same time. Positive body image can be gained from regular exercise and eating healthy without dieting. It's all in the balance, Just my humble 2 cents.
If the urility jacket cinches or fitted ( but not tight or fit close to uour body ) a little at the waist, it would look great with all your outfit. Great combo outfits.
I enjoyed your video. I am only 5' 1" and maybe 5' 1 1/2 " on a good day. I have one pair of flaired wide length croppped pants in dark brown color. I am a senior but in the younger senior age group. I do not wear heals anymore and not working anymore. So my life style is super casual. I do like wedge/platform sneakers as they are comfortable to walk in. I don't know what kind of top to wear with these pants and what shoes? I don't wear flats either.
I think you can wear wedge/platform sneakers with your pants. I like the options in this video for tops and I have a video on styling a kick flare pant and jeans if you want to check it out as well for some ideas. ua-cam.com/video/GhFjXDz689w/v-deo.html
Thank you for yourdressing input. I have a similar body type to you. I noticed you never showed the back view and only half way through did you show partial profile. When you did show profile your suggestions were not flattering. A flat front pant (can have back waist elastic) is much more flattering. The longer crop pant is a better choice for for short, square body types.
I actually put a lot of outfits together, not just for my shape, but different for ideas for everyone and some of these I don't think were great on me but would have been great for someone else.
Q&A: I love your white utility jacket and your white blazer open over a blouse or top. I also really liked your suede booties with your linen pants. As a matter of fact, my question was going to be if suede booties are okay for spring and summer, but you already answered my question by wearing them in this video! Thank you so much!😊
Curious as to what a short waisted person would do with your looks. Tucking shirts in often accentuates this difference. I have only recently found your videos and like that while I am taller, you dress the rectangle shape.
They all look great and comfortable. I wonder if you've already washed those linen pants and if they kept their size? I have had multiple bad experiences with linen & cotton items getting much smaller after washing & drying.
Everytime I go to tie my button up shirts the bow sits vertically not horizontally if that makes sense. Any tips for tying these shirts to get the bow straight? I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
I have these pants from Old Navy in every color, thank you, it was helpful. I couldn't help noticing that you say height with a "th" sound at the end, like the word width,. It's a common mistake.
I wanted to order those pants but they seem to be continually sold out in petite . Also, the measurements they list are a much longer than what you have here. I think 26" for petite and 28" regular. Now I'm more confused 😄
Keep checking and they will probably come back. It did say that on the website for one of the pants that I ordered and it was wrong. They are all a 24 inch inseam for the petite and 26 for the regular.
Q&A. I am a 5’3” rectangle shape. I bought some wide leg jeans that are way too long so I will be hemming them. I am wondering the ideal length. Would it be right above the ankle like your natural colored pair?
Only if you want them to be cropped. If they are meant to be full length then they should be longer. Wear a pair of shoes that you will wear with them when you get them hemmed and if full length you want them an inch or so (maybe more maybe less) from the ground, just not dragging the ground and not too much slouch in the front. For cropped see how they look a couple of inches or more above the ankle. You want them to land below the largest part of your calf for a more flattering look. It is going to be different for everyone depending on personal preference. Too short and they look like capri pants which you don't want and too long they just look like your pants are too short.
I thought the utility jacket looked okay with the brown pants although a waist length one would be better. It did look nice with the longer pants too. I personally prefer a jacket that nips in a bit at the waist. My problem at the moment is that my waist has increased with age ,so tucking in tops always feels as though I’ll look bigger, although I’m slim but it’s all settled in that area. Are there any tips you have?
If it's hard for you to tuck than I wouldn't tuck your tops and try to find tops that are a good length and fit your proportions well. Layering with a jacket that nips at the waist is a perfect solution and if you can find faux wrap tops or structured tops that do the same that would be perfect! If you are gaining in your waist try to cinch at the smallest part of your waist which might be higher or lower than your natural waist.
They are all lovely outfits. But for me, a 4ft 11” very round apple shape (size 18) and a wide bum, big tummy and big bust, belts and tucking in tops just won’t do for me. But I love my cropped trousers.
If you tuck, make sure you get proper waistband pants. Those with stretch bands or built-in ties look awful when exposed under a tuck. As if it is pyama's.
I would stay away from collars than. I bet open necklines will look the best on you as well. You may be able to do the banded or stand collars that are small and don't cover you neck, just the collar bones.
Maybe try slimmer legs like a straight leg. I feel like the wider the leg the skinner your leg will look. This is a little touch because I don't know your shape but definitely try that if it would work for you.

I always pair baggy crops with a more fitted top. And a heel or wedge is a great option.
That sounds perfect! 💖
Thank you these are great tips. It’s too easy to look frumpy in wide leg crops but you have nailed it!!!

And a tip for the combination at 14:00. At the front it is really nice, but you wear a to-be-tucked button up. Get one with a straight back hem instead if you don't tuck. Then you can see how well the butt wedge continues into the A-line of the legs.

I loved it .
Thank you!
I wear my cropped wide leg pants pinned on the side to create a kind of harem pant look.
Nice! Sounds cute! Great idea!
the lighter shade and longer pant looks best with the white toppers...I think, because there is much less contrast in color....so less cut up
That is a good look especially if you want to have a more cohesive and monochromatic look!
Your channel is the best. And you are gorgeous.
Wow, thank you for the amazing compliments! 💖

Q&A do you agree with the saying that "beauty knows no pain". I'm trying to teach my young teen daughters to put effort into self-care and their appearance including fashion, skin care, and makeup. They're enjoying it and very interested and learning. I feel though that it's a delicate balance because I've been seeing in them both internal and external pressure to look a certain way, and it's hard to know what's healthy and unhealthy thinking. One of my daughters is willing to wear very uncomfortable shoes and wants to go on a diet! My other puts an extra amount of time into her hair and makeup. I just see how it can be confusing for them, because our culture puts so much attention on appearance, and yet if we don't, then we look like we don't care.
I think dressing appropriately and enjoying fashion can be done sensibly without losing comfort. It's important for women to model behaviour for their children, and I try and emphasize to my girls that one can be nicely dressed, fashionable, care about sustainability and be comfortable all at the same time. Positive body image can be gained from regular exercise and eating healthy without dieting. It's all in the balance, Just my humble 2 cents.
If the urility jacket cinches or fitted ( but not tight or fit close to uour body ) a little at the waist, it would look great with all your outfit. Great combo outfits.
I totally agree!
I’m only 5 foot. Those pants would make my legs look even shorter!
Hey, my height and shape... if I ever get back into shape, but there is a rectangle in here somewhere. Subscribed forlazy closet building
I enjoyed your video. I am only 5' 1" and maybe 5' 1 1/2 " on a good day.
I have one pair of flaired wide length croppped pants in dark brown color.
I am a senior but in the younger senior age group. I do not wear heals anymore and not working anymore. So my life style is super casual.
I do like wedge/platform sneakers as they are comfortable to walk in.
I don't know what kind of top to wear with these pants and what shoes?
I don't wear flats either.
I think you can wear wedge/platform sneakers with your pants. I like the options in this video for tops and I have a video on styling a kick flare pant and jeans if you want to check it out as well for some ideas. ua-cam.com/video/GhFjXDz689w/v-deo.html

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will look on the link you provided.
Very helpful!
Super helpful!
Thank you!
I liked the flat sandal better with the longer pants
Thanks!
Great video!!!
Thank you!
Thanks mam I really love your outfit ideas 👌🏻
Thank you!
Thank you for yourdressing input. I have a similar body type to you. I noticed you never showed the back view and only half way through did you show partial profile. When you did show profile your suggestions were not flattering. A flat front pant (can have back waist elastic) is much more flattering. The longer crop pant is a better choice for for short, square body types.
I actually put a lot of outfits together, not just for my shape, but different for ideas for everyone and some of these I don't think were great on me but would have been great for someone else.
Love them ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips.
You are welcome!
Q&A: I love your white utility jacket and your white blazer open over a blouse or top. I also really liked your suede booties with your linen pants. As a matter of fact, my question was going to be if suede booties are okay for spring and summer, but you already answered my question by wearing them in this video! Thank you so much!😊
Hi Gail! I definitely think they are!!!
Curious as to what a short waisted person would do with your looks. Tucking shirts in often accentuates this difference. I have only recently found your videos and like that while I am taller, you dress the rectangle shape.
They all look great and comfortable. I wonder if you've already washed those linen pants and if they kept their size? I have had multiple bad experiences with linen & cotton items getting much smaller after washing & drying.
I have not washed them yet but I will let you know when I do!
Everytime I go to tie my button up shirts the bow sits vertically not horizontally if that makes sense. Any tips for tying these shirts to get the bow straight? I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
I have a video coming for ya!
Nice video!
I think you could go down a size on a lot of these items and they could look better.
Just my opinion.😁
Haha, one of the pants for sure. All the other stuff was as small as they come.
Q&A! Can you demonstrate how to tie button up shirts at the waist? lol. I can't get mine down... Do you make a knot first then cross?
I have a video coming!
I think the white utility jacket is really too long with the first outfit, with the second outfit it looks good.
Thanks!
It would look better with a cropped jacket
I think you are right!
I have these pants from Old Navy in every color, thank you, it was helpful. I couldn't help noticing that you say height with a "th" sound at the end, like the word width,. It's a common mistake.
Interesting. I never noticed I do that, lol! Thanks for the heads up!
I just don’t like crops. I’m going to try a jumpsuit so it will have a longer line.
That works!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
I wanted to order those pants but they seem to be continually sold out in petite . Also, the measurements they list are a much longer than what you have here. I think 26" for petite and 28" regular. Now I'm more confused 😄
Keep checking and they will probably come back. It did say that on the website for one of the pants that I ordered and it was wrong. They are all a 24 inch inseam for the petite and 26 for the regular.
I love this video! I'm also 5'4 and built similarly. Love love love your garment rack. Could you tell me where you got this one?
Thank you! It's Brightroom from Target! Here is the link: rstyle.me/+ilrFBduglF-GL1-rkeC0Xw
Q&A. I am a 5’3” rectangle shape. I bought some wide leg jeans that are way too long so I will be hemming them. I am wondering the ideal length. Would it be right above the ankle like your natural colored pair?
Only if you want them to be cropped. If they are meant to be full length then they should be longer. Wear a pair of shoes that you will wear with them when you get them hemmed and if full length you want them an inch or so (maybe more maybe less) from the ground, just not dragging the ground and not too much slouch in the front. For cropped see how they look a couple of inches or more above the ankle. You want them to land below the largest part of your calf for a more flattering look. It is going to be different for everyone depending on personal preference. Too short and they look like capri pants which you don't want and too long they just look like your pants are too short.
I thought the utility jacket looked okay with the brown pants although a waist length one would be better. It did look nice with the longer pants too. I personally prefer a jacket that nips in a bit at the waist. My problem at the moment is that my waist has increased with age ,so tucking in tops always feels as though I’ll look bigger, although I’m slim but it’s all settled in that area. Are there any tips you have?
If it's hard for you to tuck than I wouldn't tuck your tops and try to find tops that are a good length and fit your proportions well. Layering with a jacket that nips at the waist is a perfect solution and if you can find faux wrap tops or structured tops that do the same that would be perfect! If you are gaining in your waist try to cinch at the smallest part of your waist which might be higher or lower than your natural waist.
They are all lovely outfits. But for me, a 4ft 11” very round apple shape (size 18) and a wide bum, big tummy and big bust, belts and tucking in tops just won’t do for me. But I love my cropped trousers.
Thank you and definitely stick to what works for you!
If you tuck, make sure you get proper waistband pants. Those with stretch bands or built-in ties look awful when exposed under a tuck. As if it is pyama's.
I think the utility jacket looked too boxy.
I agree but I think I might still wear it with the longer pants.
You DO NOT look frumpy💐👌
Thank you!
I have a problem with collars. I have basically no neck so collars make tops look like me head is on top of my shoulders with no neck.
I would stay away from collars than. I bet open necklines will look the best on you as well. You may be able to do the banded or stand collars that are small and don't cover you neck, just the collar bones.
My problem is shape of ankles look skinny with cropped pants ...any solution for me
Maybe try slimmer legs like a straight leg. I feel like the wider the leg the skinner your leg will look. This is a little touch because I don't know your shape but definitely try that if it would work for you.
You call the long crop. I call them floods!
Try belting the utility jacket.
If it was longer and had less material I think it would work but it doesn't work with this one. Thanks for the recommendations!
Cute
Thank you!
I'm sorry. Those pants are not mid calf...they are nearly to ankle
The brown was close to mid calf but the tan ones were more ankle.
I thought the boots looked good with your pants especially as they fit your ankle so well.
Yes! Agreed!
