Cream of the Cropped

by Melissa Kagan (see more from this expert)

Thank goodness for cropped pants. Besides being flattering, they are perfect for showing off your shoes. Look for a pair that hits just below the knee, like these pants from Banana Republic ($68), and wear them with a formfitting jacket, a wide belt and a fitted ruffled blouse or a snug cotton sweater. Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn and wear them with cute flats or go for the long leggy look and pair them with stacked heels. Available at BananaRepublic.com.
