The focal point of most outfits is generally up top. Whether it's because the wearer is flaunting a cool coat or a striking shirt, eyes naturally go there first. Several designers are having none of that, however. Instead deciding to allow exaggerated pant cuffs to steal the spotlight. Although, fair warning, they're not the easiest silhouettes to pull off.

Especially if you're petite. While we apologize to all of our readers 5' 4" and under, you don't want to look like you're melting. You're going to have to be willing to embrace the current obsession with puddle hems, which is another difficult thing to master. (Sky-high heels help, though.) Stick with turned-up cuffs on cropped pants to ensure you're wearing them as opposed to them wearing you. We also included a few safer picks that let you dip your toe into the trend. See Burberry's checked-hem cotton nylon trousers. Manière De Voir's tailored take is actually office-appropriate. While Mango's black denim helps make the tall cuffs seem more streamlined.

The other entries involve scrunched bottoms. Or, in the case of JW Anderson, a little trompe l'œil action where the term "drop waist" is taken literally. Either way, they're great ways to test out your sartorial ingenuity.

Now that we've managed to convince you to give the trend a try, keep reading to discover the best pairs of exaggerated pant cuffs.
