    I' 5'9" so growing up I didn't have much choice either. I think they are really cute but I'm not adding much of a heel at this height!

    As someone with Loooong legs. I wore ankle pants, before ankle pants were cool!!! I actually don't have a choice.

    That's always been my issue too.


    Thank goodness we're fashionable now, lol!!

    Ya know they might actaully be pant length on me as Im 4ft 10in with a butt,hips so on my inseam is 26in if I dotn want them to cover my shoes,Im sure they are not to many with a inseam like mine except for 10yr old girls.Its very difficult for me to find pants that I woudln't need to hem and im curvy so no kids stuff for me and after having my 2 pregnancies 19 month apart even more curves.Oh well thats what stretch is for.

    What's wrong with pants above your ankles?

    I'm almost 5'2, why can't I wear them?
    Because you say I look short and fat? I disagree.

    I wear them. With heels.

    Couple weeks ago:

    Yesterday, I'm sitting so they are drawn up a little more than they actually are. (was getting my hair done - that's why I'm wearing a cape):

    ETA: The 2nd pair are jeans. I'm 5'7.

    LOVE the pants, Ariel! Like Alex said, you ROCK 'EM & I'm jealous too! With my body type they make me look like I have sawed off legs AND cankles all at once! :laugh:

    I think ankle pants are great... on some people. People should dress for their bodies... not for trends.

    Can someone explain to me the obsession with ankle pants lately? As a 5'2" lady with too much junk in the trunk, the footwell, the door pockets, the glove box, and under the hood, it is really just not a flattering look, and I don't think it's that flattering on the 6' model types either! It makes them look short and fat! I just want pants that are pant-length. And yes, I have to shorten those so they are appropriate for my short stature, but yeah. I'm still gonna complain about the ankle pants. Wah.

    I have the exact same body type, and I just ordered some ankle pants that I'm really excited about! As others have noted they look especially good with heels. The slim cut makes an outfit look really classy and put-together, and they're less overwhelming than longer pants if you want to play with bold colors and patterns.

    I've been following some petite fashion bloggers that have inspired me-- here are some example outfits:

    http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2013/03/bloom-neon-rose-daffodil-yellow/ (She wears a lot of ankle pants!)

    http://www.alterationsneeded.com/2013/01/print-blazer-vintage-watch.html (She does a lot of ankle-length skinny jeans, but it's a similar concept. Her build is probably a little more like ours than the first two bloggers.)

    Ooooh, those are nice. I wonder how they would look on a person with cankles that walks like a blind person with a bladder control problem in heels?

    On men, they just look like high waters. If women's are too long, they have the same effect. I don't wear pants that are that tight on my legs...maybe if I were skinny and my calves weren't too muscular...
