Short legs and cropped trousers

I have a long body and short legs. I like the cropped trousers look but I don’t think it’s particularly flattering. I am over heels, which would help. Do you wear cropped trousers if you have short legs? Or what else do you wear to look vaguely fashionable but less stumpy?

If you wear them with a shortish top then they should work...never with a top that comes over your waistband though.

Yes you absolutely can - just play with the proportions & footwear to see what works best for you and the style of trousers.

I'm short with short legs and wear this look all the time and definitely don't wear tops above the waistband.

So if you're wearing wide legged crops, then a shorter more fitted top would look better but if they're straight/skinny a longer slightly baggier top would work. Flatforms look great with wide legged crops; with straighter crops I mostly wear brogues or Stan smiths

I don't though if I was slimmer in the waist it might look better.
Skinny or slim fitting look better on me.

I find it works with a high waist but I have a long body and short legs ...
