Never underestimated the power of a statement sweater. With cropped pants it’s key to understand proportions – so go with a either a more cropped cut or a longer length that hits below the widest part of your hips. If your sweater falls somewhere in between – just give it a tuck to give your waist some definition.

As far as sweaters go – wear what speaks to your personal style! Our reccomendations? A half-zip sweater, a chunky turtleneck sweater, or a casual, crewneck sweater with a white t-shirt underneath.

2. With a long coat

Cropped jeans in winter can be tricky. Not sure what coat to wear with cropped flares? Go for an unexpected color like white – or an unexpected silhouette like an oversized menswear coat. Because of the cropped length of the jeans it’s important to also think about the length of the coat. A good option is an extra-long cut that hits somewhere below the knee and about your ankle. Avoid a length that hits directly at your hip bone, as this can make your legs appear shorter than they actually are.
