Since Capris came back into fashion in past years, we've seen many versions of Capri pants from skinny leg jeans to the flowing fabric of short goucho's. In 2010, most cropped pants are looking to be cut close to the leg and hemmed closer to the ankle than the knee.

You can get this look by hemming a pair of skinny jeans or trousers that you've got at home. Alternately, hit the thrift store and find a pair that fits perfect around the waist and could use a trim at the ankles. Tutorial: Turn Pants into Capri's
