What types of cropped trousers are there?

It would seem that cropped trousers are all the same, but this is not the case. The modern market presents many models. The most popular of them:

• original European version with a length of 7/8;
• high-waisted trousers;

Increasingly, denim and corduroy models with cut-off trousers are found on store shelves, this suggests that winter cold is not a reason to hide short trousers in the closet.

What shoes are taboo?

Despite the fact that almost all shoes fit with cropped trousers, there are exceptions. Not the best combination - bulky sneakers. The length that reveals women's ankles is designed to emphasize their elegance and femininity. Sneakers will give the image a ridiculous look and all elegance will disappear. If you are a fan of comfortable sports shoes, replace your sneakers with light sneakers or moccasins.

Another not the most suitable option is ugg boots, which will give your legs shapelessness and grace will evaporate without a trace. This type of winter shoe is only suitable for trousers that can be tucked in. The same rule applies to high boots and boutiques.

Sneakers or Ugg boots + cropped trousers = ridiculous look.

What shoes to choose?

There are many options for combining cropped trousers with shoes. In summer, open sandals, mules or high-heeled shoes are a good solution. For long walks outside, light ballet flats or elegant sneakers are suitable. If you are going out or going to a business meeting, an excellent solution is closed stilettos. For cooler or rainier weather, choose closed moccasins, espadrilles, slip-ons, and boat shoes. An excellent solution to wear ankle boots with cropped trousers.

With the onset of winter, feet need special care and warmth. But this does not mean that this type of trousers is prohibited. Wear smart boots or lace-up boots. Such shoes will not only not spoil your appearance, but will also show others that you understand modern fashion.

Any shoes chosen should be feminine.

On warm summer days, pumps without heels will look no less elegant on women's legs dressed in cropped trousers. Ribbons or an open nose will give them a casual effect. But closed shoes with block heels are not the best option.
