Trend Spotlight: Capris
Trend Spotlight: Capris
By Elena Ossoski
Capri or not capri? The triumphant return of these calf-capping trousers begs the question of whether or not this wardrobe hero from the early aughts is simply a recycled trend or if it is here to stay as a timeless silhouette.
For years, the capri reigned as the preferred pant length of the trend-savvy masses. The absence of the capri in the late 2010s and early 2020s made its return all the more noticeable. Social media’s chicest journalists and former podcast co-hosts Camille Charrière and Monica Ainley have been sharing how they style capris in a modern way.
In the spring 2023 Jacquemus collection, a pair of poppy red capris hit the runway that could be styled seamlessly with a pair of kitten-heeled Manolos as a nod to Carrie Bradshaw. Making these pants a modern favorite is easy now that the pedal-pusher look is quickly regaining its popularity.
Fitted or flared, knit or spandex: any will do. The capri is back.
