If you have a pair are they comfy and how do you style them?

@yh8181i also haven’t seen lots of capri pants here or in the cities I’ve visited recently. Are you sure they’re capris and not just cropped trousers?

I love Capri pants. They really suit me. I always wear them in summer with just flat shoes and a t shirt. They are my classic warm weather trousers

Do you mean cropped length or specially capri trousers? I’ve not seen many wearing them & when I did it was during the summer.

Because they were fashionable in the early 2000s and there’s a noughties revival at the moment.

I LOVE capri pants and owned a few pairs in the 1990's (late '90's/early 00's, I think). I had casual and going out pairs.

I used to wear them just with a T-shirt, or nice top if going out.
They go with most things, really.

I wouldn't wear them now at nearly 55; I do think they are a young person's clothing item. I do own a pair of baggy, ankle length trousers but capri pants are fitted.

I live in these from April until the end of September, no matter what the weather is. I am 5ft 2 and don't care if they make me look short as i am short.
