I admit I get out a lot less than I used to. However, today's trip to the mall I saw no capri pants. (except for me). What I saw was shorts, jeans, lots of leggings and a few maxi dresses. This was on all different age groups too. Even women that appeared to be a senior like myself.

 

I felt out of style 😳and wondered if maybe different parts of the country dress differently. I think I need a wardrobe overhaul.

Not to me, wear them every day in summer.  I call mine crop length.

When you say crop length @Shelbelle @do you mean to the ankle? On me capris come mid calf because I am tall. I saw no one with mid calf capris.

Re: Are capri pants outdated?

Personally I'm not a fan of capri's since I am shorter and they don't usually look as good on me. Plus, my grandma always wore them and I feel "older" in them. Just me. I own 2 pairs but rarely wear them, I prefer shorts, skirts or dress. However, if you like to wear them go for it. Don't let what other's wear dictate what you can and can't wear.

@Trinity11,

I am a New Jersey lady and wear them often. I have too many pairs to not wear them!

Capri now goes by crop.  Same pants different name.  Wear your own style and dont worry what others wear.

I usually look for a 22 to 23 inch inseam, I am short but have long legs, so about 5 to 6 inches above my ankles, I dont want to sit down and have my whole leg exposed, these are perfect for me. I am 70.

I will keep wearing my capris because I do not like leggings!  

 

Nice and cool on a summer day!

I don't like them, so in or out makes no difference to me.
