This is a good example of intentional ankle length. There’s a difference between cropped and unintentionally short. These hit at the narrowest part of the ankle, which keeps the silhouette clean. Pairing them with a heeled boot eliminates awkward spacing and maintains length through the leg. The longer cardigan creates vertical balance — especially important at my height — and keeps the look from feeling choppy. When you understand proportion, trends feel less risky.
