I cannot believe I haven't seen this thread before, I love the shape....it's my current obsession
here are some of my pics...the best that I've ever seen are Hedi's last collections at DH.

to make them look good, they have to be perfectly ironed so the pleats look good...and the shorter you are ( I'm not that tall either
) the higher the crotch or the pants have to be, and neither wear them with boots as high as in the pics but with some like the first pair in this pic
or some other high tops could work.
oh another tip...if you're short
don't wear a belt it slice your figure in two parts and makes you look shorter...but there's no reason short people couldnt' wear them.
Personally I'm thinking on wearing them with sandals...yeah I will.
I don't think the look could be silly well executed, It can be a great look imho...not like those guys that wear jeans as drop crotch pants, that looks silly and they look shorter.
did I mention I'm obssesed with them...
