It's that time of the year when you can start to consider different lengths for your denim [1], specifically going shorter, and it's never been easier now that cropped jeans and ankle-skimmers are all over the place.

And, just as importantly, what shoes go with them? Let these street style looks inspire you to pull together an outfit that complements your favourite cropped jeans, from your head to your toes.
These street style stars show you all the footwear options you can team with your cropped denim, from strappy sandals and statement heels to stylish flats and ankle boots [2]. From crop tops to long coats, all clothing options are covered, too. Ahead, get ready to learn how to master the crop.
