Pant Lengths & How to Wear them...

With so many different pant options available for purchase, it's hard to know which will flatter your body the most and the types of shoes and shirts you should pair with each.  Luckily, I've got you covered.  Check out my tips below to find the right fit for you!


Capri Pants
Although these pants are typically reserved for warmer weather, I think a pair of bold, cuffed capri trousers or cute, cropped skinny jeans are great for day looks this time of year.  If you're on the shorter side (like me!), wear them with ankle booties or a closed-toe wedge heel, and throw on a neutral button-down blouse and minimal accessories to complete the look.  Work-chic!




Ankle Pants
Similar to capri pants except a bit longer, ankle pants hit exactly where you'd think: right at your ankles!  Women with shorter legs tends to shy away from this style, but truthfully, any girl can rock 'em since it's more about the shoes you choose than anything else.  As a rule of thumb, bear in mind that heels always elongate your legs, so if you're concerned about looking short or stumpy, don't wear flats!  Otherwise, oxfords or ballet flats look great with ankle pants.




Full-length Pants
These are by far the most common length of pants and literally look fab on every shape and size.  For that reason, they can be paired with practically any type of shirt and shoe, giving you endless options when it comes to putting together fashion forward outfits.  Do some experimenting to discover which styles complement your legs the most: skinny, straight leg, wide leg or perhaps boot cut?





Shorts
Shorts come in a variety of lengths - some are barely there, whereas others hit close to your knees.  My personal favorite for a night out is a pair of little leather or scalloped lace shorts.  Worn with a pretty, long sleeve silk (or chiffon) blouse and some sky-high pumps, they create the ideal outfit for a night out on the town!  But remember ladies, these are usually best for the younger gals - make sure you are age-appropriate!
