Gap Wide Leg Cropped Jeans

Description

The Wide Leg Cropped is Gap’s summer-weight wide leg — shorter inseam (26-27″ cropped, hits above the ankle), full wide leg silhouette (22″ opening), high rise (11.5″). At 5’7″ and a size 28, the crop hits an inch above my ankle bone, which is exactly where a cropped wide leg should land. Designed to show off shoes and work well with loafers, mules, or clogs.

The denim is medium-weight cotton blend with a bit of stretch — lighter than the 90s Loose or the Stride, which is intentional for the summer context. After ten-plus washes mine has held its shape well, though the wash has faded more aggressively than heavier denim would. Honest negative: if you’re 5’3″ and under, the “cropped” inseam may end up hitting at full-length rather than above the ankle — check the model’s height in the listing before sizing. And the lighter fabric weight means the column drape isn’t as dramatic as heavier wide legs.

Why we recommend it: The wide leg that works with loafers and clogs. Cropped above the ankle, high rise, summer-weight denim.
