If you’re experiencing puddle pants fatigue, I have some good news for you. Although the jury is still out (people don’t wear pants all that much during the dog days of summer), I have a hunch that cropped pants may be making a comeback. Here’s the thing: Extra-long pants have been a thing for a few seasons now. And whenever a trend has become ultra-saturated, it’s inevitable that people will start going in the opposite direction—with the fashion crowd leading the way. And speaking of the fashion crowd, I found ten recent cropped pant outfits some of Instagram’s most stylish loved enough to post to their main feeds.
If you’re not a fan of cropped pants, I can see why you’d be unpleased with this recent development, but as someone who is 5’4″, I personally don’t think that baggy puddle pants do me much justice and would prefer to wear at least ankle-length pants. So yes, I’m admittedly crossing my fingers that cropped pants enter the chat again soon. I’m happy to start that conversation.
Scroll on for cropped-pant outfit inspiration and to shop some of the chicest pairs of cropped pants on the internet.
