They are not the traditional full-length trousers, as they
are shorter and expose more of a woman’s legs, yet they have become very popular pieces
of apparel in the work place.
Crops and Capris are often mistaken for each other but there
is a difference between the two pants and this lies within their length. Crops fall right above the ankle while capris are between
mid-calf and above the ankle.
However, I support those that believe it's acceptable for the office. I think if it’s put together carefully it can be considered business casual.
Here’s a look at some options it can be easily styled with:
Sheer blouse tucked inside
Tapered blazer
Cardigan and inner blouse
These pants can either be wide at the bottom or tapered. The
one a woman selects should be based on the size of her legs. Women with thick
muscular calves should avoid wearing the tapered crop pants as it makes her
legs look much bigger than they really are. Women with small ankles or what we
call in Trinidad “tin foot” should stay away from those with a wide base.
Trend Alert
Within recent times crop pants have been incorporated into
women’s suits. Check these out!!!
These are within the professional wear
category and are replacing the power suit in the US and UK.
As chic as they look, I wonder how easily will they be accepted in the work place in TnT.
The decision to wear this piece will definitely be based on the office environment. In creative spaces such as advertising, marketing and even in the hotel industry, this would seem appropriate. However, if you are dealing with customers, you may want to discuss it’s suitability with HR or your seniors prior to you jumping out with this one.

Do any of you rock these pants to work?
Had I not been in the "Trini Tin Foot" category, would have definitely rocked either one. But in these modern times, I definitely support its advancement in the workplace

DeleteNot a fan of the capris. I love the cropped pants. I use these 2 work with a nice top sometimes drapped with a cardigan 4 a nice casual look 2 rock on a Friday.
ReplyDeleteNice. But do you know I am terrified of wearing these. They look great on some people but I don't think they suited for my 'tin foot' lol
