C is for crop top 

In my version it is almost crop top. Since I am 40+ lady it fits best with high-waisted wide pants. So, two trends in one.

W is for wide pants.

I like wide pants with side zipper closure. Maybe these pants are not perfect for my body shape, especially with flats, but who cares. :) 

I like to wear them with ballerina shoes.
