A general rule of thumb: The best cropped jeans hit just right above the ankle. It’s a proportion that’s perfect for petite women but equally as stylish on all heights. With the fall season upon us, cropped jeans are the ideal wardrobe staple. You can pair them with a simple white T-shirt for a casual weekend outing, or they can just as easily be elevated for the office with a blazer and a low heel. Dressed up or down, cropped denim remains a timeless classic for all seasons. Cropped jeans that hit the ankles at just the right spot are not only flattering but an easy way to show off the season’s best shoes—just make sure to check the inseam length to make sure it fits your frame. For further style inspiration, look towards the Paris street style set to guide your next cropped denim moment.
