What Are Cropped Pants?
Cropped pants are ankle-length pants that are a must-have in your wardrobe.
They stop at the shin or ankle and don’t go all the way down, unlike your regular trousers or jeans. You can cuff the ends of your pants or jeans or fray their edges to crop them as well. Either way, they look great. Don’t confuse cropped pants with capris because the latter are calf-length and quite outdated.
Now that you know what cropped pants are, here are 11 cute ways that you can style them with boots!
