Trendhumper: Cropped Trousers
The fashion world just can’t find a happy medium with pants. The tough choice of baggy, fitted, or tight is getting tougher with ankle-length trousers becoming more popular. Take a look around—down to be exact—most of the fancy boys showing off their exposed ankles are prancing around your city, not just the runway.
This new formal look is best put together with suit jackets, a pair of pointy leather shoes with no socks on. Sounds pretty absurd if you ask us, what with the potential of sweating out your best (and probably only pair) of hard-bottoms you save for weddings and funerals. But at least your naked ankles are prepared in case SoHo is ground zero for another Katrina. Will you be preparing for the flood with cropped trousers this season? “HUMP” or “DUMP” this budding trend after the jump.

Honestly, I could see this going badly for men with fat legs.. plus the room for error here is slim to none. You’re either not doing it at all (ie. pants feelin’ up the shoes big time) or you’re just looking like you pants are too short, and not in a cool way.

If your pants aren’t $800 Guccis and you’re wearing normal slacks, it’ll just look like your pants are too short.

i wont be seen wearing these …but to each his own…my friends think I’ll wear anything …but I wont …I guess if you wear these you can get some glittery socks like a Black micheal Jackson and get away with it ..or you can wear suspenders with these slacks and get your Steve Urkel on?? just a thought…

hump hump hump. but you can’t honestly expect this to go over well with the complex crowd. i mean, 90 percent of these fools are still stuck on that ‘’sneakernerd” look.

I’ve been seeing this with increasing regularity in London. Poverty seems to inspire fashion, oversized clothes and trousers that are too short are all things we done did as kids with the hand me downs etc..no way i’m feeling this one. Like Pharrell said “its a new day!”

I know most fools are gonna dump it. But hey I think it’s the Colombian coming out of me when i say i like it. It reminds me of my dad’s steez and a look I would be rolling with if I was alive during the 70’s or 80’s on the coast of the Caribbean or somewhere.
