How to Style: Ankle Length Pants

by lauren on September 18, 2012

I have found my new work pant – in fact, when I discovered this gem of a pair of pants yesterday, I loved the fit and fabric so much that I took two colors home with me (40% off, too!). I never used to do that sort of thing, but as I grow older I know that when you find a good thing, you should buy it in many (every) colors.  The colors are amazing – I bought the navy and the camel – and I only didn’t buy the burgundy because I already have the J.Crew Minnie in burgundy wool.  Needless to say, I think I can lay off the ankle length pant shopping for a while.

And my dears, because peplum is the hot ticket item these days, I found some lovely Fall appropriate tops to pair with my new-found cropped pant loves.   The combination of the feminine peplum mixed with the more masculine slim cut pants creates really nice balance.  Throw on a pair of pointed toe flats and out the door you go for a comfortable AND stylish day at work. {Sidenote:  I have “normal” length legs, and the regular length was a bit long on me and laid very awkwardly, so I opted for the petite sizing and it hit perfectly right at the ankle bone}

One  Alice + Olivia Peplum Top // Camel Sloan Pant // Rockford Bow Flat

Two  Topshop Lace Top // Mustard Sloan Pant // Mia Navy Suede Flat

Three  Ted Baker Peplum Top // Burgundy Sloan Pant // Messeca Black Cap Toe Flat

Four  Tory Burch Sweater // Navy Sloan Pant // Steve Madden Eternnal Aqua Flat

    These are so great. And especially with the sales BR has (I’m constantly getting these 40% off emails), it definitely sounds worth picking these up in a couple of colors – if only I didn’t work from home… I could still go for every one of those shoes though!

    I love the ankle pant. They’re dressed up that you can wear to work and casual enough to wear on the weekend. All I need is a pair of the mustard yellow ones!

    So many great peplums and flats in the post. This combo is such a great work wear look.

    Funny I just discovered the Sloan pants myself after a looong search for the perfect cropped pants and have since picked up 3 colors, burgundy, grey & camel! Fit and length are amazing, so i have had to talk myself out of buying every color!
