A reader recently purchased a pair of taupe suede boots and hasn’t worn them yet because she doesn’t know what to wear them with.

The easiest way to go with taupe boots is to wear something all black. Here I chose a long sleeve black jumpsuit, but you could also do a black dress or black separates. Add a layer that compliments the shoe, here you see a fur jacket and gilet. Top it all off with a statement bag in a bold or muted tones, depending on your taste. You can also easily recreate the same look with navy, brown and certain shades of grey/gray.

For a casual outfit, you can do a plaid top with corduroy or denim, making sure that the colors compliment each other.

Step 1. The Shoe
For fall and winter, cropped pants look great with an ankle boot. Here I paired the pants with platform wedge ankle boots. Wow, that’s mouthful. Cropped pants also look great with platform pumps, oxfords, peep toe pumps.

Step 2. The Top
Almost everyone will have a ultra feminine blouse in their already existing wardrobe that they can pair with these pants. If you don’t, you should get one. Here I chose a burgundy button down, but since the pants are black, there really is an infinite amount of color possibilities.

Step 3. Adding Layers
It is cool or cold depending on where you live, consider layering your top with vests, cardigans, jackets and shrugs. The layer you choose will really define the look. You can really dress the look up or down here.

Step 4. The accessories
Finish it all of with your favorite accessories: layering necklaces, adding bags with fun coordinating textures or prints.

Dress up a plain white top paired with cropped pants by adding embellished layers.

Loose fitting feminine tops paired with flirty pumps are the perfect match for cropped pants.

Ballet flats, oxfords, neutral tones can easily make a pair of black cropped pants instantly casual.

A reader asked for help on how to integrate a pair of pleated cropped pants into her wardrobe. Below is an image of the pants she purchased. For my styling layouts, I will use a different pair of pants, but I wanted you to see the pair that inspired the looks.

Cropped pants are typically thought of as a warm weather staple, but you can actually work them into your fall/winter wardrobe just like you can wear dresses and skirts in cool weather.
