Crop it to me

I must say, my favorite part about the menswear trend is probably the resurgence of pants. We all still love our skinny jeans, but it's nice to have options, right? From flared jeans to 70s-inspired wide-legged trousers, I like wearing a pair of pants in which I can enjoy a sandwich.

Probably my favorite new pant trend is the cropped trouser. These have been on the scene for a while, and they aren't going anywhere. Just check out the pre-fall collections - especially Alexander Wang's, which feature the shortened pantalones prominently throughout. 

I love the versatility of these pants. The tailored look makes them wearable in almost any situation. Wear them on weekends with a slouchy T by Alexander Wang T-shirt or with a sharp blazer or button up and head to the office. In this case, I like letting the pants do the talking - keep the lines simple and unfettered. And make sure you show off your waist with a belt or a fitted top. Just because you're wearing menswear doesn't mean you need to look like a man.
