Denim has been going through a revolutionary transformation this year, revealing new colors and most importantly, new shapes and textures. What we’re talking about specifically here is the kind of denim that starts off as skinny as possible and then flares at the end.

With the 90s fury, everyone has been reverting back to past trends- not that we’re complaining. Style mavens have been spotted looking all retro and chic in cropped jeans funky slippers- a certified way to show off their ankles. So it only seems fair we step up our game as well and get ourselves some lovely retro denims!

But first – and while you search for the perfect pair- allow us to provide you with the do’s and don’ts of these cropped gems.

Do show off your shoes. These jeans are short for a reason! The funkier your shoes, the better.

Don’t forget about the length. Your jeans should reach your ankles, not an inch shorter and not an inch taller!

Do pick frayed hems. So glam and so in!

Don’t hide your figure in loose tops. Since these cropped flare plants are mostly high-waisted, just tuck your shirt in and show off your silhouette.

Do wear them with the iconic mules. Need we say more?

If you’re more into the professional vibe, then do throw in a tailored blazer to the mix. Did someone say working girl?

But most importantly, don’t forget to pair them with a fresh off-the-shoulder top.
