Will probably get screamed at for this, but tell me, is this question any more or less self-absorbed than those wanting the PERFECT hotel in Paris, the PERFECT hill town in all of France, etc.?<BR><BR>Here goes: Given that cropped pants and capris were popular last year, do you see the shorter styles in the winter in Paris? Thank you.

I saw them a lot in London last month.. cannot speak for Paris, my last trip there was September..

Right now-living and working here ancI can tell you that I am not seeing many cropped style in Feb, but by spring my guess they will show up again-at the moment given it has gotten chilly again there are lots of slim wool pants and flats or boots. And as always in Paris-lots of lovely shawls-a great treat to buy yourself here but not too cheap if you buy the real marks-ie Kenzo Dior etc, but lots of knock-offs.<BR><BR>Something I still can't get used to is women wearing real fur coats when they go out in the evening-being from the West coast US I guess that I just can't get used to that with all the animal rights groups in the US....

Was there last May and December, and there were no short pants to be seen on Parisians.<BR><BR>I agree with Jean - so much fur over there...it's crazy.

I can\'t believe you viscious people haven't yelled at her yet. A certain 13 year olds girl posted a question like this and all she got was sarcasm and competely inappropriate remarks. I think you should all be ashamed (unless you were nice to that certain girl, then you should take no offense)<BR><BR>Much love ma peeps!!!!!<BR>

In the recent catalogues that I have been receiving, crop pants and capris are being featured, but they are for spring and summer. It's probably too cold now to see Parisian women wearing these types of slacks.

Alamode

Thanks, ladies, for the input; just the info I needed and kindly delivered!

Just back from Paris, where I was interested to see capris and cropped pants worn with dark tights and shoes - haven't seen that here in the DC area. <BR>

Hopefully you won't se any "pants" in Paris or any other city. In europe pants are underpants, panties, lingerie, unmentionables - whatever you want to call them.<BR><BR>You are I presume asking about trowsers or slacks.

Alamode

Seems as tho everyone who answered knew what I was talking about. XxX, if I get "pants" right, maybe you could do same with "trowsers" (sic)

How about britches?

Alamode, let me tell you a secret from one guy who spent all his life getting in women pants; it makes no f%*ing differnece what pants you weare. If you are a good looking gal you will get lucky no matter what, if you are a fat old bitch you will have to get some poor bastard drunk first. Good luck!

Alamode

Seems as tho this fashion question has take a turn to most unlucky.

And may I please add that it's my opinion that people who are so opposed to wearing fur should never wear leather or eat meat, yet so many do. Chickens and cows are raised for the express purpose of being killed for their meat, just like minks are for their fur. Are minks more important animals than chickens or cows? What's the big deal? Fur coats are awesome.

When I was in Paris I noticed that most of the women wore sort of a "pencil cut" or narrow leg pant. I thought they were attractive. I bought a pair and have gotten lots of complements.
