Re: Are capri pants outdated?

I see every length and every kind of pant is being worn: capri, Bermuda, shorts, skorts, pedal pushers, wide bottoms, skinny pants, jeggings, leggings, beach pants, maxi dresses. Still lots of very casual cargo pant knee shorts for both men & women. Anything goes. I'm in the South....

The ones I wear daily fall below the largest part of the calf.  According to that diagram, they are not in the "danger zone".   I always called them capri's.

Yes, there are trends, but in general, there is so much more leeway.

 

Nowdays it's pretty much "anything goes" when it come to casual styles. Wear what you like and I doubt anyone will notice or care.

From what I see what I call ankle pants have been more popular the last few years.  I think they are more on trend at the moment.

Hi @persiflage . Exactly what some young women in Bloomingdales told me who assisted me today. I bought a pair of ankle pants today and I felt a lot more comfortable in them. 🙂

I hope they're not outdated, as I have about 30 of them!

@Trinity11  I have never cared for capris or crops (mid calf). I love an ankle pant. I am 5'6" with slim legs and I just don't think they're very flattering. If you like the way you look in them then you should continue to wear them. I don't think they're out of style. I see plenty of women wearing them when I'm out and about.

 Crops hit at the ankle just above the ankle.

 

Some think Capris are dated looking if they hit at the widest part of your calf.

 

From my memory Bermuda Shorts hit at the top of the knee

 

Wear what you like!
