If there’s one spring trend that so simple to copy and incorporate into your wardrobe it’s this one: cropped jeans. The cropped denim trend has been around for a few seasons and shows no sign of going anywhere anytime soon.
The latest and greatest batch of cropped jeans usually stop around your mid-calf, though you can find styles that are slightly shorter (but always below the knee) or a tad bit longer. Cropped jeans pair super well with pretty much any shoe style you can imagine—from kitten heel mules, wedge sandals, ankle booties, sneakers, and ballet flats.
You can find cropped jeans that are narrow and skinny, flared, high-waisted, low-rising, and everywhere in between. One of the more popular cropped jean styles you’ll see on it-girls right now is the flared cropped jean–a fun ode to the ‘70s. But don’t feel limited to one style—it’s totally worth your while to invest in a few different styles of cropped jeans, like straight, skinny, and extreme crop, which will give you plenty of outfit options.
The cropped style is laid-back and tends to be most flattering when it stops right above the ankle. Cropped jeans with a frayed hem provide just enough cool vibes to make more polished blouses and sophisticated heels look less fragile. You’ll find the spring pant style provides the perfect balance for more dainty pieces in your wardrobe.

Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
H&M Denim Culottes High Waist ($29.99)
Who said cropped jeans have to be blue? These high-waisted culotte-style jeans are easy and breezy in white. They have frayed raw-edge hems and stop mid-calf in an extraordinary flare that will look amazing paired with snug sweaters and T-shirts. These high-waisted jeans have straight legs and come in a variety of sizes. Wear them during warmer months with a striped shirt and pay homage to nautical fashion. Then, switch out your boat shoes for ankle boots and they’ll transition easily into autumn.
Reformation Jagger Jean ($118)
There’s a reason these cropped black jeans are named after Mick Jagger: they’ve got plenty of rock ’n’ roll swagger, with attitude to spare. These slightly cropped, mid-rise jeans have both a raw hem and bottom seam detail. They’re far more narrow than the flare styles you’re seeing everywhere and are pretty much made to be worn with some serious heels.
Topshop MOTO Khaki Camo Cropped Wide Leg Jeans ($75)
This high-rise, wide-leg cropped jeans come in statement-making camo. They stop above the ankle and have raw hems that look amazing paired with tough ankle boots and a soft, fuzzy sweater, or a '70 retro T-shirt like the classic ringer tee. This non-stretch denim looks sharp and the print provides a serious contrast to feminine accessories.
