How to Wear: The New Pants
The key to wearing this season's looser pant styles is choosing the proper shoes. Here's how to get the look right, come heels or high-waters.

From left to right:

Culottes
Yes, it's a tricky length, but skinny heels elongate the leg and balance the volume.

Pants, 1.State, $99; Nordstrom.com. Shoes, Reiss.

Pooling Pants
If you're tall, try sneakers—they complement the pants' relaxed shape.

Pants, Theory, $285; Theory.com for similar styles. Shoes, Kate Spade New York.

Cropped
The shorter length and wide legs are usually an express route to Stubbyville, but stacked heels add height without heft.

Pants, COS, $135; COSStores.com. Shoes, Furla.
