I love the idea of this type of loose-fitting cropped pant and knew if I could find a pair that were more fitted through the waist without pleats, I would buy them. These definitely fit the bill, plus they are so lightweight & comfortable. I’ve worn them with my flat gold sandals for a casual chic look, but they are also easy to dress up as I’ve done here (and they’d be a great option for the office!). I would recommend styling these in the same way you would an a-line or full midi skirt (tuck in your shirt or try a crop top) so you still maintain your shape without overwhelming your frame. And, for those who are petite, your best bet is keeping the length to just below the knee or mid-calf at the lowest (great example here).
