how to wear crop jeans

I think we can all agree that crop flares pair easily with sandals and sneakers for summer, but how are these styles going to work with boots this fall? I've had that question quite a bit, so I did some experimenting with the boots I brought home from the #NSale.

Happy St. Paddy's Day! I guess I should have held the outfit with the olive green dolman top to share today. It's about the only green item in my closet. Instead, I'm sharing an easy monochromatic black outfit for spring with a sweater tee and kick flares.

I've got a desk to dinner look for spring with black kick flares for you today, and Banana Republic just launched their Friends & Family Sale! If you're a regular, you may recognize these Mother Insider crop jeans. I think I've finally landed on an outfit I can actually see myself wearing "in real life." Now, I just need the right occasion.

Crop flares are a huge trend this season, but they can be tricky to style, so today we're talking about how to wear crop flares for spring. If you're a regular, you may have seen this outfit before, but it's the best example I've got. I'll try styling these jeans a few more ways for spring in Friday's Try-On Haul.

I'm watching the trends evolve, and I'm here to tell you, the straight denim trend is finally hitting mainstream. What's more, it's here to stay for a while. Of course we should all wear what looks best on us, and I'm not kicking my skinnies to the curb, but I'm going to try to integrating this style into my outfits more as we head into spring.

Kick flares and crop straight styles are trending this fall, and I've styled a few for the blog, but there is one question I always get when discussing this style . . . How do I wear crop pants in the winter without getting frozen ankles?

First of all, no hate mail please. Yes, I am posting a decidedly fall outfit in July. I know, I am even annoyed with myself. But y'all. When these pictures came back, I was really excited to share them with you, and we all know these pieces may be gone by fall. Plus, it gives me the perfect opportunity to address a topic I've been wanting to write about -- how to wear straight cropped jeans and not look like a clown.
