So in general, I am actually a big fan of pants. However, there is one thing about pants that I find quite annoying. The pant hem. So you buy a pair of pants and they are too long. So you get them hemmed. Problem solved, right? Wrong! Because pants are hemmed to a certain length. Which means that the pants look great when you wear the shoes that the pants were hemmed in. Or any other shoes that are the same height as the shoes that the pants were hemmed it. So if every day you wear one inch heels your pants will always fit. But wear a pair of flats and the pants are too long. The pants drag on the ground. They no longer fit perfectly. Wear a pair of two inch heels and the pair are too short. They show too much of your socks or nylons. They look funny. This creates quite a problem when transitioning from summer shoes to winter shoes, from flats, to heels, to boots.
Pants. Can't live with them, can't live without 'em.
That's what's great about being young and wearing jeans. You buy them too long, walk all over them, destroy the bottoms, and tell your mom it's okay because that's the "style".

i bought a pair of cropped pants this summer and they are divine - perfectly short with flats and short and sassy with heels! i intend on throwing a pair of boots or converse in the winter too and rocking them through the seasons.
I think as a 25 year old woman, walking all over your pants is no longer the style, that is reserved for teenagers and other slobby people.
you must have the right cropts because for me, the problem with cropped pants is that if they are the wrong crop or you are the wrong height, they just end up looking like they shrunk...so i'm stuck hemming or buying shoes to go with pants that i don't feel like hemming. (and buying shoes is clearly the more cost effective option)
well k, you yourself are not 'cropped' and you have a point there.
but for those of us < 5'2", it works wonderfully because then we don't walk on our hems and look like teenagers or other slobby people!
Here, Here to being in style. Even if I shouldn't be as a Mom of 3 and a 30 year old. I need something to feel young. So my ragged jeans it is.
