Cropped Denim Hunt

This is for my poor friend Lindsay who got in a terrible car accident last Sunday. Thank goodness she’s going to be okay. As for her favorite pair of denim capris…the docs had to cut them off of her in the ER (I don’t even think she would have allowed McDreamy near them with scissors). Hence, I’ve taken it upon myself to find her a new pair.
Linds is 5′7″ with long, thin, highly coveted legs. She prefers a boot style crop vs wide or skinny leg because she doesn’t need to elongate/slim the appearance of her legs…don’t you feel sorry for her?! She also wants a pair that will universally match most of her wardrobe.
Her former fav’s were the Seven pink A-pocket capris. Let me know if you know anywhere I can find them other than eBay. I’ve checked all the big guns, and no luck yet…

Here are a few styles I found awaiting her approval (click on the image below for deets):

Styles above (from top left):
- Citizens Paley Ankle (normal sizing): Revolve Clothing
- J Brand Capri (normal sizing): Bloomingdales
- Citizens Cropped Kelly (normal sizing): Bloomingdales
- Paige Roxbury Crop (runs one size small): Revolve Clothing
Given we don’t all have Lindsay’s long, slender legs, here’s a little round up on cropped denim suggestions for other body types:
I’m 5′5″ with short legs and a long torso. Cropped or not, I need a jean that will lift my booty and make my legs look a little longer. I’m also kind of fussy about where the hem hits my leg.
So far, Siwy and J Brand are my picks for cropped denim (I just ordered the Siwy Hannah’s today and will post on them soon):

Styles above (from top left):
- Siwy Hannah in Purity (runs one size small): Active Endeavors
- J Brand Capri in (sizing is normal) Revolve Clothing
- Siwy Hannah in Kiss (runs one size small): Manhattanite
- J Brand Capri in Summer (sizing is normal): Bloomingdale’s
My girlfriend Shel is a petite little shorty. She prefers a shorter crop…no explanation needed, right?
She likes the Seven Dojo Short (via Revolve Cothing):

Finally, my friend Jess has a cute athletic build and likes her denim low-rise, loose-fitting and in typically darker shades.
Her pick for this summer is the Seven Crop Dojo (via Shopbop):
