Here are my tips for wearing the Sezane Le Crop when you’re short (because there are style do’s and don’ts everyone should know about!).
What is the Le Crop by Sezane?
I can’t believe it has almost been a year since I last wrote a style post, but it’s not the easiest topic to cover. How can I speak confidently about fashion when I don’t always follow trends (and maybe live in sweatpants)? But here we are – about to discuss my latest affinity for Sezane’s Le Crop – because I am wearing this wide leg crop denim more than my leggings.
Skinny jeans have been my go-to denim style for as long as I can remember. Wearing any other style is intimidating, especially since I am only 5 foot 3 inches. Sezane’s Le Crop are known for their comfort and flattering cut, but designed with a 26.8 inch inseam (which suits taller women). I decided to give the Le Crop a try after seeing the flattering cropped wide-leg on a petite person. They are a versatile and stylish addition to any wardrobe – but especially mine this year.
While you may have been told that cropped pants are only for tall people, that’s not true. You can wear this fashion trend no matter your height or body type! After trial and error, here are my tips for wearing the Le Crop when you’re short.

Tips for Wearing the Le Crop When You’re Short
The most important tip to consider when styling the Le Crop when you are short is to create a long leg silhouette. You can create the illusion of a longer leg by using the Le Crop’s high waist and choosing the right shoe.
- Celebrate the high waist. The Le Crop has a high waist, which is ideal if you are petite. High waists give the illusion your leg starts up higher than it really does.
- Accentuate the middle. Tuck in your shirt, wear a bodysuit, and/or add a belt.
- Balance out proportions. If you don’t want to focus on your midsection, try a boxy top that hits at the hip.
- Pick the right shoe. Consider low top sneakers, boots that don’t cut off at the ankle, or flats that expose the top of your foot. Open toe and nude shoes or high heels will elongate your leg even more!
A very important STYLE DON’T is to not try something new for fear of failure or a poor outcome. When it comes to fashion and trends, I have learned to TRY TRY TRY. At the end of the day, who cares if you never wear the outfit again?

Casual Outfits featuring the Le Crop
- Loose Tee: Pair Le Crop with a loose-fitting t-shirt tucked in for a casual, effortless look. Add flats or pair of sneakers to keep it relaxed. Throw a striped sweater over your shoulders to elevate the look.
- Smart Layers: A lightweight sweater laid on your shoulders over a collared shirt can create a preppy, smart aesthetic.
- Sporty: Try wearing low top sneakers (so your ankle is still visible), a tucked in sweatshirt, and a hat for a sporty casual look.
- Black on Black: Black denim can be appropriate for work when styled correctly. The black denim Le Crop look more formal, especially when worn with a formal top.
