Fall 2012 Trend: The cropped trouser

Cropped trousers differ from capris in the following ways:

  • they may NOT be made of denim.
  • there is none of this “flare” bullshit. Those are gauchos, culottes, or skorts.
  • most would look better with a narrow belt
  • in most jobs, they can pass for business casual (NOT DENIM.)
  • they tend to be fitted all the way to the calf, but never “tight.”
  • often they appear in plaids, tweeds, and other things that might make you think vaguely of losing a bet on a golf course.
  • you should not, under any circumstance, be able to picture yourself in a Beach Blanket Bingo movie while wearing them.

 

I still haven’t made peace with capris OR cropped trousers. But I know they’re out there…waiting.
