True, I've never taken a snap. They're part of my 'plain office wear' capsule and are black trouser material. Got them at Macy's... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655238 Thu, 05 May 2016 04:14:59 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1655238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a pair of well cut capri pant is not frumpy at all. Probably is not the trendiest length this year (cropped pants and coulottes are everywhere), but they are a classico IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655232 Thu, 05 May 2016 04:04:44 +0000 Gigi 1655232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I just bought a pair yesterday from Nordie's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655211 Thu, 05 May 2016 03:10:21 +0000 Anonymous 1655211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few years ago there was a knee to just below the knee slim denim short/jean that we called clam diggers. They were my "shorts" and I still have a couple of them. The key is a close fit to the thigh. I have cut off skinny jeans to make these when I could not find them.<br /> Another idea is cargo pants in cotton, rayon, or something silky and rolled or hemmed to the length that you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655083 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:52:33 +0000 rabbit 1655083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one pair that's black and tight, and ends just below the knee. &nbsp;They are also fairly high rise, so I wear them in outfits where I kind of have a modernized audrey hepburn in mind in terms of footwear and tops: &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://assets-prod.harpersbazaar.co.uk/fashion/style-files/04-Audrey-Hepburn.jpg">http://assets-prod.harpersbaza.....epburn.jpg</a></p> <p>I used to like the cargo ones for hiking a lot, but I agree that in general capris are tricky to find in fits, colors, and brands that seem current. &nbsp; I see leggings that length a lot as gym wear/yoga pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655074 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:38:39 +0000 El Cee 1655074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes… I wear them a lot in the heat of summer. I have three pairs of old lightweight cargo capris -- loose, comfy and great for camping, hiking and gardening. I also have a couple pairs of fitted capri length jeans (blue denim) and just bought one more (in white -- labelled as crop jeans but definitely capri length on me). I sometimes like these as an alternative to bermuda shorts… especially when going out for a casual dinner. (I do not personally like wearing shorts to a restaurant.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655068 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:32:41 +0000 LaPed 1655068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several pairs of capri-length yoga pants -- In the past I've had pairs that hit below the kneecap but the ones I have now hit just below my calf. I think what you want to avoid, from a figure-flattery perspective, is anything that bisects the widest part of your calf.&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds, though, like maybe what you need is a pair of culottes. I think the wider leg will feel more intentional and on-trend, decidedly not sporty so more versatile in that sense. I'm excited about the emergence of lots of loose-yet-structured garments this season -- seems perfect for creating a summer wardrobe that is comfortable without being sloppy or overly casual. I'd love to find a pair of culottes for myself, but haven't found any that fit well in a color/fabrication that I like. Getting a good hip/waist fit with culottes I think is essential, and so hard... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655055 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:03:46 +0000 jill58 1655055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have several pair that are a few years old--mine are from Eddie Bauer, where I've also had good luck with shorts. I'm planning to wear them this summer though they might not be considered the most fashionable length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655043 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:27:05 +0000 Anonymous 1655043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need some for summer. I've been looking but haven't found anything I like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655039 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:21:35 +0000 JAileen 1655039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear them. I think of them as long shorts. I wear shorts, too. I just bought some at Kohl's (Lees maybe?) and wore them in Texas, where it was VERY hot and humid. With that kind of weather I certainly couldn't wear jeans. We were doing heavy lifting, etc., to empty a house and storage units. It was a lot of fun, as you can imagine. I got so sweaty and dirty that nothing could be worn more than once.</p> <p>I bought a dark denim, navy, white, and a navy and white small geometric pattern in crops. In shorts I bought white, grey, and olive. The shorts were cargo length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655034 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:15:49 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1655034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear yoga pant capris in warm weather. I think they look pretty good with a tank. I also have Eddie Bauer capris that aren't cargo, exactly, but they are definitely sporty. When it's stinking hot, that's what I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-these-and-if-so#post-1655030 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:07:05 +0000 always trying 1655030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you wear any kind of pants that are longer than Bermuda shorts, and shorter than ankle pants or what generally referred to as crops (usually 2 to 4 or so inches above ankles) ?&nbsp; These seem to be called capris on most sites I am searching on.&nbsp; I never have seen anyone on here showing anything they called capris on the WIW's.&nbsp; I am of the impression that the word CAPRIS are a frumpy or bad thing, Right?</p> <p>However when anything that hits the leg&nbsp;somewhere from below knees to about 4 inches above ankles is OK if it is&nbsp;very sporty like cargos or athletic wear.&nbsp; Also not easy to find in anything other than 5 pocket jeans type, or looser fitting, or somewhat wider leg, or bright colors and brands like Karen Scott, etc. </p> <p>It looks like this is what all the problems arising about what to wear&nbsp;in hotter weather when one does not want to wear shorts, and all the complaints about linen trousers having draw string waists, etc. I would solve my&nbsp; hot weather problems with CAPRIS if I could find something made of a decent hot weather fabric, and was not butt baggy, &nbsp;too loose on legs,&nbsp; fit thru hips, &nbsp; had pockets, and came in colors like black, taupe, grey, navy or such. also not expensive as they would only get worn a few times a year. But there arises occasions in hot months when one has to wear something other than sporty and suitable for some outdoor time.&nbsp; This is where getting old sucks!</p> <p></p>
