Request for Capri design

birdQ13 — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 12:03:32 GMT

Dear Q- this is to request more merchandise options for capris that do not have such baggy legs ("elephant legs") but aren't leggings tight; also not the usual 21 inches too-long since I am 5:4. I think that shorts generally look bad on us middle-aged ladies but a lot of capris aren't much better. Sometimes a crop pant fits better but when it's hot a capri can be great. Thanks!

I am your height and agree with you about the length of crop pants. It's not flattering on a shorter person. When they hit halfway between knee and ankle, it's not good. I usually do OK with the capris though.

If they fit through the hips and thighs, I don't worry too much about the width of the legs, but I can't stand bagging in hips and thighs, fitting like pajamas. 17" may seem short but I like it.

i like your request for a more fitted type of capri (or in my case crop). in the warmer months, i dont like them too baggy and definitely not skin tight. just nicely fitted.

i can wear a capri, but at 5'6", i sometimes think that a crop looks better.

Years ago I bought capris from Denim and company they were great. Fit nice and they weren't baggy. But now they have changed them so much. I ordered a pair last year they were clown pants I sent them back. I'm not ready to join the circus yet.

Nice suggestion. Baggy leg capris are the reason I don't buy many. Denim & Co has started offering slimmer leg versions on several styles and lengths of pants. Hopefully this will continue.

That odd flare out at the bottom of most of them is what keeps me from ordering, along with the baggy hips & thighs.
