Capris aren't crop pants, capris are shorter...shorts, capri, crop, ankle, full. I wear what I like, don't give a hoot what's in style...it's  ankle & crops for me everyday & full length when needed. 

 

@kitcat51  I was wondering when did Capris become crop pants. I am 5'2" and don't wear crops. I do wear capris but I  prefer the skinny ones.

Capris usually come to just below the knee and are now being called other names but the same length.  Crops come to mid calf so they're longer.

 

 

@Kachina624  that's why I prefer to wear capris because at my height they look so much better on me.

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I see lots of capris, crops, and pedal pushers in my retirement community (Arizona).  But, on my recent trip to Canada, I noticed most women wore shorts, long pants/jeans, or leggings.  Since I have some pretty ugly leg veins, I prefer to cover my knees -- pedal pushers suit me the best, but I also wear capris, crops, etc.  Old enough not to be overly concerned what is "in" despite really wanting to look nice.

I don't worry about what's considered "outdated" or not, I wear what I like. I just prefer capris that I think are flattering for my body type.

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I wear capris and shorts in the summer. 

It doesn't bother me if they're in style or not.

@kitcat51 And between shorts and capris are pedal pushes which fall just below the knee.

 

I wear what I like. I am outdated, my pants might as well be too!

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I feel so blessed to be free not to worry about how others feel about whether pants hit at my calf or not.  I can't even say how good I feel about that!  Life is good!

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I think the OP is right about a decline in their popularity. However, I'd say to wear what you are comfortable wearing. If malls had fashion police, there would be a lot more offensive items (like people wearing old pajamas).

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I prefer a crop vs.capri but must admit my summer uniform has been either shorts or (mostly) leggings. 

 

Wear what you love and feel good in.
