As seen in today’s Times 2, Fashion Director Anna Murphy heroes the trouser every woman needs in her wardrobe.
Ever been reluctant to try a cropped trouser? We hear you loud and clear, which is precisely why we’ve made it our mission to make the crop the most flattering, hard-working trouser in your wardrobe.

In her piece, Anna describes an encounter with a woman at The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival “who told me she had given up on trousers until…she made a five-minute stop at a ME+EM store en route to a meeting. She returned on her way home and found “they had pulled together the perfect edit for me.” A note to petite sceptics – and I know you are out there – this newfound fan was one of your number.”
No matter your height or body shape, a cropped trouser is a key style building block. We design all our crops to stop just above the ankle, at the most flattering part of the leg to create the most elegant silhouette.
“Hornby’s focus, more particularly, is on trousers, a topic on which she is approaching PhD levels of expertise.”


“ME+EM should be receiving a stipend from the Campaign Against Anti-Cropism, such has been its work on behalf of three-quarter length strides.”


“Why shouldn’t you show off a woman’s ankle? All women have great ankles”, says Clare
For those who are below 5’5”, the crop will simply act as the perfect full-length trouser, avoiding any dragging hems.
