Helping women love what they wear on a budget

How to Wear White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

April 17, 2024 by Katie H.

6 ways to wear Spanx Twill Cropped Wide-Leg Pants.

One of my favorite styles of pants to wear in spring is cropped wide-leg pants. They are cute and versatile. I find them so easy to dress down or up. Today I am sharing my latest pair of pants to show you how to wear cropped wide-leg pants in 6 different ways.

I have a few other pairs of cropped wide-leg pants in my collection, but my most recent addition is the Stretch Twill Cropped Wide-Leg pants from Spanx. Given my love for their faux leather leggings, I was thrilled when Spanx reached out to me about trying these best-selling pants.

Being 5’1″, finding cropped wide-leg pants that fit just right has always been a challenge. I touched base on that a little in my recent blog post What Shoes to Wear Cropped Wide-Leg Pants. I’m on the constant lookout for a pair that hits the sweet spot in length without drowning me in excess fabric around the waist. Thankfully, these Twill pants check both those boxes.

What sets Spanx pants apart for me is their hidden core-shaping technology, which works wonders in smoothing out the midsection. With a pull-on design, there’s no worry about unsightly lumps and bumps from buttons or zippers. Plus, they’re incredibly comfortable, making them versatile for both casual and dressed-up occasions.

Sure, these pants might be a bit pricier compared to others in my wardrobe, but I see them as a worthwhile splurge. Sometimes, achieving the perfect fit requires a bit of a financial investment, but if it’s within your budget, the payoff is worth it. And the versatility of these pants means you’ll get plenty of mileage out of them. Oh, and if you’re interested, I’ve got a discount code: THRIFTYWIFEXSPANX will score you 10% off at checkout.

*For sizing reference, I am 5’1 and I05 lbs. I am wearing an xs/petite length in the pants. Everything fits TTS unless otherwise stated.

Outfit 1: Button-down shirt + White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

I love a classic button-down shirt! This blue button-down shirt from Old Navy is one of my favorites. When paired with the white-cropped pants it has a very clean classic look. This outfit would be perfect for work or any other elevated casual event on your schedule.

Outfit 2: Green Lady Cardigan + Black Tank Top + White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

This is another great workwear look. I love pairing olive green and black with white pants. I find it to be an easy and safe color scheme. Then I added a pop of pattern with my leopard flats to have a little bit of fun with the outfit.

Outfit 3: Black Tank Top + Denim Jacket + White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

This is a casual way to wear white cropped wide-leg pants. I always feel that a denim jacket is a great way to dress down an outfit. I shared it with some casual sandals. This outfit could be worn almost anywhere.

Outfit 4: Striped Flutter Sleeve Top + White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

Can you ever go wrong with a striped top? This striped flutter sleeve top is the perfect elevated basic. It pairs so nicely with the white cropped wide-leg pants. For shoes, I went with these beautiful Channel look-alike pumps from Dream Pairs. They are the most comfortable pair of heels that I own.

Outfit 5: Chambray Shirt + White Cropped Wide-Leg Pants

This outfit is perfect for church, graduation ceremonies, end-of-the-year concerts, or any spring event. I love this chambray sleeveless button-down from J. Crew Factory. I have had it for a few years now. Chambray tops and white bottoms always flow together nicely.

Outfit 6:

For the last outfit, I wanted to go with the navy. I love navy and white together in spring. This navy blouse I bought at LOFT a few years ago and it’s one of my favorites! I added my thrifted J.Crew Factory blazer but kept it casual with a pair of Target slide sandals.
