Cropped on the Comeback

Reds
Much like smoking slippers and monogrammed pieces, cropped trousers are an article of clothing every woman should have in her closet. Adaptable for a wide range of occasions, this workwear staple is surprisingly flattering for most figures; try a pleated style if you want a roomier, thigh-concealing fit, while flat-front versions offer a slimmer silhouette.

A wardrobe classic to be sure, cropped trousers have certainly seen their fair share of updates over the years, but this season's renditions prove to be a cut above the rest. Rich fabrics and of-the-moment prints demand the spotlight, while lending the pants a fall-appropriate look. Want to know which styles to look for? Read on…
