I will be honest with you. My first attempt at wearing wide leg cropped jeans was a disaster. I paired them with an oversized hoodie and flat slides, looked in the mirror, and saw a person drowning in fabric. The jeans went back in my closet for months. However, one weekend I tried again with a fitted white tee and pointed ankle boots. The difference shocked me. Suddenly, the jeans looked intentional, polished, and modern.
