Cropped Jeans? YES or NO??

I quite fancy some cropped jeans, I think they might look funky and will go with lots of other things on my wardrobe
BUT am a size 12/14
will I look ludicrous?

no course not

LadyMacbeth · 18/04/2007 13:39

No so long as the shoes you choose to go with them aren't clumpy cankle creators. No trainer socks either, or socks at all for that matter.

nogoes · 18/04/2007 13:40

What shoes do you think are best?

Gobbledigook · 18/04/2007 13:40

No, they are essential for the summer. Get some!

nailpolish · 18/04/2007 13:40

ballet pumps are ok

mumfor1standfinaltime · 18/04/2007 13:41

Flat pumps or kitten heel.

What's with the BUT?

Size 12/14 is positively sylphlike

Iklboo · 18/04/2007 13:42

I'm so short I HAVE to buy cropped jeans to fit like normal ones!

Flip flops... or Birkenstocks (if you do them)

Beetrootccio · 18/04/2007 13:42

skinnys turned up with big turn ups are really nice

Gobbledigook · 18/04/2007 13:42

I wear these

or

these in silver

I'd wear heels with them if I was going out in evening.

MuminBrum · 18/04/2007 13:42

God, no, they are unbelievably hideous.

LadyMacbeth · 18/04/2007 13:42

Yes, yes was just about to post wedges. They're fine too!

nailpolish · 18/04/2007 13:42

oooh yes big turn ups.
also had half a notion to get some with a ribbon bit around the bottom...
I do do Birkenstocks, but I like to keep it a bit hush hush

so if I'm a size 14 going on 16, should I not be wearing my cropped jeans?

LadyMacbeth · 18/04/2007 13:43

I've got those Birks in silver. They're actually quite nice. (IMO)

Gobbledigook · 18/04/2007 13:44

Yes, turn ups nice. Must get some - don't have turned up ones. There are some nice ones in the Great Plains catalogue.

thanks I am convinced
I have those Birks in white, I was going to customise them, but I think they have a certain simple elegance

I live in cropped jeans in the summer and jeans in the winter.
