You’ve probably noticed I’m pretty on-board with cropped pants this spring.  They feel almost youthful to me, yet perfectly able to step across all age barriers.  Across most style barriers as well.  Cropped pants are great for the office, styled as I’ve shown today.   I can also see them dressed-up with a tuxedo jacket and killer heels or dressed down with a slouchy tee and flip-flops at the beach (remember when they were called “clam-diggers?).

As so often seen on Haute Business, I’ve taken classic black and white and thrown in a contrast color.  This works especially well if your legs tend toward the long side.  Yours don’t?  Not a problem!  Pair your cropped pants with heels in nude or the same color as the pants as shown here.  If you’re not so sure about this trend, buy a pair or two at a price point that won’t break the bank, like these from Old Navy.  At $27 a pair, it’s not so hard to give them a whirl.

Happy Thursday friends.  Thanks for reading!
