Our climate dictates to us what we can and can not wear, and I'd be far too hot in our summers not to wear capris.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952383 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 03:12:00 +0000 Sarah A 952383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a super flattering cut on you. I think you could wear a variety of shoes and still look polished as well.&nbsp; I hope your other clams will be up out of alterations soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952380 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 03:00:43 +0000 TraceyLiz65 952380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, I never thought of the term clam diggers... in fact the tags said Capris, but I think your insights are more accurate. &nbsp; i put a few of my other capris in a pile to alter to the skinny legs...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952285 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 23:37:48 +0000 Anonymous 952285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would call these clams, and they are my preferred kind of shorts. The fact that they are tapered and where they hit on your leg makes them look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952240 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:51:40 +0000 Adelfa 952240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, you look super stylish. &nbsp;A delight to behold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952236 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:38:50 +0000 Diana 952236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are clamdiggers so I think you're safe!&nbsp; The length and tapered bottom are very flattering on your leg.</p> <p>Anyway, I think of capris as too-short pants, while clamdiggers are more like long shorts.&nbsp; (When I complained about my poison eye for traditional bermuda length shorts, Angie said just to stick to clams, so I think of them as my long shorts for summer.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952232 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:20:23 +0000 Janet 952232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the cut and the styling you've chosen keeps these out of frump territory. </p> <p>I am in the market for a pair of...something? clamdiggers? as an alternative to above-the-knee shorts for summer, and I ordered a very basic pair of capris that I am considering altering so they hit just below my knee. I find capri lengths tricky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952187 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:36:30 +0000 Raisin 952187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you, so I'd say keep on wearing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952166 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:52:06 +0000 Mo 952166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Made all mine into shorts over the last years. &nbsp;It was the footwear challenge more than anything. &nbsp;I used to wear them for work, and couldn't wear wedges or cute sandals. &nbsp;Need closed toes and heels. &nbsp;Much happier with them as shorts and able to wear sneakers no problem. &nbsp;<br />Yours look fine on you. &nbsp;The narrow leg helps a ton with the 'standing in a bucket' issue many create. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952156 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:07:28 +0000 kellygirl 952156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of capris as mid calf pants. These look like clam diggers since they end right below the knee. I really love this length on you! Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952152 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:59:32 +0000 Anonymous 952152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Maksame said about the shape of the leg. I think it also involves finding the sweet spot on your leg, as I believe Angie has mentioned. This season I also think a slouchy pair with narrow legs rolled seems the most current look. Tracey, I want to roll the legs on the ones you are wearing to just under or on the kneecap. They look a bit dated with the little slit, more like vintage pedal pushers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952149 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:54:00 +0000 sopranomom 952149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo what Makrame and Irene said.&nbsp; Your capris are super stylish because of the fit and your footwear.&nbsp; Keep rocking your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952147 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:43:40 +0000 Makrame 952147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think capris that are not wide at the bottom, but relatively tapered and end fairly high (just like the ones in your photos), still look great and are figure-flattering, especially with wedge sandals.</p> <p>Those shades of pink look great on you!</p> <p>What I don't quite get are the very wide, loose fitting longish capris, especially the ones that flare out at the bottom. &nbsp;Add to that tennis shoes - not a &nbsp;flattering look at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952146 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:42:04 +0000 Irene 952146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THAT pair of capris looks great ON YOU. I think you could pull them off with flats and with sneakers too. It is the right length, style and color for your legs, and you have nice legs to wear them on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capris-to-wear-or-not-to-wear#post-952144 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:35:44 +0000 TraceyLiz65 952144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is so much dislike around for Capris, yet most &nbsp;in my beach community are still wearing them... This is what i wore grocery shopping &nbsp;yesterday. &nbsp;I saw so many woment in capris, but none looked stylish as they all paired them with t-shirts, tennis shoes (aaaaagh!) and flip-flops.....</p> <p>I refuse to wear them unless it's with my beloved collection of wedges... Just wondering have you given up on capris or is there still a place for them...</p> <p>PS. note the cardi in my hand... I have to carry them around all summer as the AC in stores is too cold...&nbsp; </p>
