I spend my work week in closets and dressing rooms with nearly naked women. I’ve seen a lot! I’ve dressed women from size 2 to 22. I’ve worked with so many configurations of size, shape, and color, but I haven’t seen it all because every women is unique. When I am going through closets with clients, they are trying on all sorts of bottoms, such as capri’s, cropped pants, bermuda shorts, and ankle pants. I have seen a lot of frustration in women because they are unsure of what looks best for their leg and body type.
The trends this summer leans toward ankle and cropped pants, which is only a few inch difference, so which cut is best? I’m going to discuss how to decide which bottom length and style is best for your body type.

Capri’s
Choosing a Capri that is tapered and ends at the narrowest point of your calf is the most flattering style for a woman’s leg. Comfort is important in the summer, but when wearing Capri’s please try to stay away from clunky, bulky shoes. Try a slimming sandal or wedge to add height. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color with your shoes!
Ankle/Cropped Pants
Countless times I see clients with pants that are too wide for their leg, too long, or have too many bulky pockets that just add on thickness to your leg, and no woman wants that. To fix this problem, I’m either suggesting to wear them in the garden, hanging around the house or taper/ shorten the pant if the garment is worth fixing. Otherwise, look for a pant that falls at your ankle at the right length and feels flattering. Just because cropped and ankle pants are trendy right now, if you feel as if they need to be longer, then they aren’t for you.
Bermuda Shorts
There should be a comfortable, casual place in every woman’s closet. Bermuda shorts are great for camping, hiking, casual family picnics and golf. Always look for clean lines and make sure they aren’t too wide in the thigh or have too many pockets. Today, there are a huge assortment of sneakers for any activity and lifestyle in various colors and styles. Choose a pair and Have Fun In Your Closet!
