🔽Click More to Shop🔽 I am sharing how not to wear capri pants and why you should not wear capri pants. One of the trends we predict is not to wear capris in 2023. This is due to the fact that capris can be quite uncomfortable and restrictive and unflattering. Instead, cropped at the bottom would be good alternatives. These pants will be comfortable and stylish, and you'll be able to wear them year-round. If you do wish to wear capri pants there are some useful tips on how to style capri pants included.

I think capris are cool and comfortable. I wear them with Birkenstocks or sneakers. And a long slim t-shirt. Not frumpy at all. I also wear them occasionally rolled up to just under my knee. It’s been very hot and humid and I see women dressed in an assortment of styles to stay cool. I’ve seen elderly women wearing shorts and tank tops and they do not look attractive. But who cares? Wear what makes you happy and comfortable. I do.

I really wish people would stop saying not to wear capris. Mine come just below the knee -- not at the widest part of my leg -- and the same length as skirts, which no one complains about. It's way too hot here to wear long pants. However, I agree about the proportions -- i wear a tucked in top with mine. However, I wear dresses mostly when it's really hot.

@kimberlyfake9127 11 ай бұрын

You see so many capris for sale everywhere. If they are so unflattering for women, why do the designers keep making/selling them?? I do not wear them myself because I am shorter and they do hit me mid calf. I would rather wear Bermuda shirts. You see tunics for sale all over the internet as well.

In hot and humid weather a woman might choose a capri over a skirt if her thighs stick and rub together. That can be very uncomfortable, and even painful. With the availability of slip shorts this problem can be managed, but even then they add a hot nylon layer.

I guess we need to feel good about our style no matter what. I never did resort to dated outfits and will be wearing my docs for as long as I can.

Thanks to this, and a few other channels, I have discovered that I am the Queen of Frump! My summer wardrobe is filled with capris, tunics and velcro sandals. Not to mention all my handbags are Baggalinis with lots of pockets and zippers. I was blissfully ignorant, although I did notice while on vacation that I seemed to have a similar look to many other 65 year olds and it was not flattering and too much like a uniform. I just pushed those thoughts out of my head. Besides, I'm not fat and that helps. Anyway, for some reason, I keep watching and learning and I notice I'm making some slightly better choices lately for balance and color and I put some of my "non-smart" clothing to the side. I'm not ready to buy new stuff yet, but I'm thinking maybe I won't just wear what I have for the rest of my life, which was the plan.

I have an outdoor event this summer. It's going to be 90° (32c) and I was thinking of wearing capris. It's a casual wear whatever you want event. My mother always told me to dress appropriately for every event but always try to dress just a cut above. Is how she said it. So I'm searching for 'are capris in style anymore'. Turns out they are. And then your video popped up. Thanks so much! I just browsed your channel and you now have a new subscriber. I think I'm going for a lightweight maxi dress.

I guess I prefer shorts and used to prefer capris to skirts because my thighs get sweaty in a dress. I know there are long legged briefs now, but didn’t know about them until recently. I have turned several of my capris into shorts with a 7-9” inseam. But being a child of the ‘60s I see ankle pants and crops and think of them as high water pants. Longer lengths will always be more slimming.

@karyannfontaine8757 11 ай бұрын

I see so many heavy women wear what appears to be a uniform. Capris, a top hitting at the widest part of their hips, comfort shoes or sneakers. The most unflattering look imaginable. I am slim, and would never wear the uniform. Heavy or slim, not an attractive look. How about wearing Capris with high Boots or using them around the house of gardening? Trousers that are ankle length are more flattering. The wider leg Capri look like a midi skirt and would look nice on a tall person. A tanish or skin tone sandal gives an elongating effect with tight or loose trousers.

With all due respect, I love wearing capris and probably will for years to come. I am 5'9" and wear capris with tunic length tops. They are comfortable, allow some leg to show but remain respectable and hide any blemishes on my legs (spider veins etc). I'm not sure that it is the length of capris that should be of concern but rather the fit of them as well as the top you wear with them. There is nothing attractive about seeing an older woman wearing capri leggings and a short top that only goes to the waist.

I totally get you. Though I’m over the capri and tunic. For me , it was nice while it lasted. The length…so does that apply to skirts and dresses falling to your “fattest part” of your leg? So someone like me with big legs and knees should expose those legs and knees? I’m wrapping my head around higher shorts but truthfully, I’m not 100% comfortable with the bigger knees being exposed but I’m working on it. As well as tucked blouses (they work better than T shirts). As far as skirts and dresses…I love ‘em too but I have to wear an undergarment that is tight. And I prefer to wear long to the ankle.

@abeal49 11 ай бұрын

I figured out how to wear capris: cut them off above the knee and use the fabric you lopped off to make cargo pockets on each side. Then wear them for gardening or while babysitting the grandchildren. I do make a point of wearing a very slim fitting top with slim fit (&Tapered legs) jeans when doing yard work with a chain saw as loose fitting clothing is more likely to get caught in machinery and tree branches. so it is a safety measure Not many people see me doing this (a couple drove by and waved at me yesterday when I was working out by the road, and sometimes there are other people at the landfill when I am unloading,) and I try not to run any additional errands when I am doing that but it happens.

I don’t get the wide-legged, mid-calf capri pant. They are SO popular with women “of a certain age” that the shopping channels in the US continually sell them. Not only are they not flattering on 99% of the women, it also is a tell-tale clue on how old the woman is (she’s at least over 50). Women can still stay cool and modest in a skirt, regardless of her size or the shape of her legs. They make slips that are like shorts to wear under skirts that are airy and cover the thighs, and self-tanners act as makeup for your legs without worrying about body/leg makeup rubbing off on chairs or other items. I have long, shapely legs thanks to years of skating, hiking and step aerobics, but the only way that I can still get away with wearing shorts and casual skirts without pantyhose is to use a self-tanner to hide the signs of aging in my legs.

@justinebarton2931 11 ай бұрын

I think one of the other reasons that capris look so dated is that they are fitted. Skinny fit trousers and jeans are quite dated as everything is much looser these days. If you want to wear something that ends at that part of your leg then I think a cropped wide leg culotte looks much more up to date and is a lot cooler to wear as they're not tight to your leg. However I think they then need a block heeled, platform or wedge as if you wear them with flat shoes then make you look stumpy and dumpy!

I do the opposite...I realize that this video is from summer of 2023 but for summer of 2024 capris are big again! Not only capris but wide legs (which are very cool when it's hot out) are also big this season. Skinny pants are out. I like a wide leg cropped bottom. I think they look good and are so comfortable. I hate dresses and skirts though they are also big this season but to me a dress that comes below your knees is no different than a capri or crop. A dress can also make you legs look short. ...So what? Nothing like having the upper thighs rub against each other when it's hot & humid. Skin against skin. Of course one can get the skimmer undies which solve that problem but add another layer. As for shoes I prefer a platform sandal. It gives me some height and I feel that a very thin flat shoe is more dated and old looking. I'm not fooling anyone about my age. I'm going to be 70 in a few days (how did that happen?!!!) but at least I have no gray which to me is very aging.
