For those wanting to break out fall pants without sweltering, just look to Gisele Bündchen: The supermodel was spotted wearing the ideal summer-to-fall outfit in New York City this week, featuring a pair of slightly cropped jeans.
She tucked a lightweight short-sleeve top into the mid-rise straight leg jeans and carried a Hollywood go-to roomy tote bag. And she kept things extra breezy with thong-style sandals.
Bündchen isn’t the only star to wear cropped silhouettes — Reese Witherspoon was spotted wearing the style earlier this summer. Because denim can feel heavy, cropped hems keep your ankles exposed to more airflow, making them a smart choice for early fall.
