A fashion disaster. Women with bigger calves or ankles might want to wear shoes with a wedge heel. It's a matter of playing with it, trying various styles on and thinking it through. Your hips may look wider, you'll notice your shoes more and you'll need a shorter top that ends at the waist area, Seitz says. Cropped pants look best when the silhouette is kept simple, she says.
Clean lines are the key to pulling the look off.
Generally, the shorter a person is, the longer the pants should be. If you can't afford to draw attention to your hips, ankles and calves, avoid capri pants. The cut of the pants and the material they're made of also are factors in how they'll look on you. This is important because it makes them more comfortable, they'll move with you and they won't ride up above your knee. Last year's capris tended to be slim, but styles for spring and summer are loosening up.
