How To Wear Cropped Pants - Tip of the Day!

kate bosworthWhether you love a denim capri or the trendy cropped trouser look, there are certain ways to wear that will make you appear more modern and in the fashion know. Here's how cool girls like Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightley and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are wearing theirs.

How to Wear Cropped Pants:

1. Pick Your Pair: Tailored trousers are very "in" right now, making a classic denim capri (particularly in white) is a summer wardrobe staple.

2. Top It Off: All of the chic chicks in Hollywood are topping their cropped pants off with a blouse with some movement -- whether it just be a little looser shirt, a peasant top, or some added ruffles.

3. Jackets Optional: A fitted jacket is great for ladies who need to nip in at the waist to accentuate feminine curves.

4. Accessorize: The look is actually quite glamorous in that slouchy '70s sort of way. Opt for some minimal gold jewelry, if any. To finish it off, grab a closed toe pump (like Kate Bosworth's -- pictured) or some of the cute cut-out shootie options out this summer.
