Here's a first hand review of Gap's 'Audrey' pant/trouser. I bought a navy pair a few months ago for a job interview. The trousers look really good in a 60's Jean Seberg (who is my fashion icon for this season) kinda way. They cost me £50, and I'm a bit of a stingy git, so sometimes I still moan inwardly when I think of the price. You don't have to spend £50 quid though, I've got a pair of skinny(ish, you need a slight flare at the bottom) jeans I sewed up to where the calf muscle starts.
I've put together a few items which would look good with skinny crops. The key is to keep tops simple and proportionally different: loose and large or cropped and small. The overall look you're going for is fresh, unpretentious and not too girly.
Wear the blue shirt from Topman in the smallest size that will fit you and pair it with some navy or brown cropped skinnies. Add some brown ballet pumps from Pretty Ballerinas for a really simple look. Or cultivate a bohemian look with the houndstooth jacket from Wallis, a pair of black or grey skinny crops, carved earrings from Accessorize (£9) and classic Chinese style pumps from Faith, reduced to a mere £10.
I really think this kind of slightly cropped trouser is going to be big, maybe by springtime. I've seen them on Kate Moss so it must be true!
