OP, I agree with you 100%. Except about the shorts. I think both make women look frumpy--like tourists on the mall.

Think about it people--capri pants add bulk to your midsection and exagerate the tiny size of your ankles--this makes everyone look like a beach ball. Especially if they are baggy--those are the best, then you look like a fat beach ball wearing a diaper. Also, men hate capri pants.

I want nothing to do with a man who has an opinion on capri pants, or any other article of clothing.

Tell me, fashion police, are cropped trousers okay? I.e. lightweight summer trousers, loose fit, rolled up to reveal the ankle?

Say, something like this:

That's hilarious! Do you seriously think straight men care about the length of your pants? If you are not wearing shorts, then straight men are not looking any farther down than your ass.

Ack! 80s flashback! Put some slouchy socks under those godawful shoes, and come on over to watch Lost Boys. Again.

But seriously, I think that look is fine, if you're walking on the beach. At least capris look like they're meant to be short, and not just a way to keep your hems from getting wet.

Where did this myth come from that men are so sex-focused that they don't notice anything about a woman other than her tits and ass? That's a lie.

Some men don't care what you wear and some men do. Of course there are men who don't like capri pants. They may not know what they're called, but they know they make women look weird.

Right. Gay ones.

I haven't read all the replies, but I totally agree. Capris are uniformly unflattering.

Keep thinking that. I don't think many men enjoy having frumpy wives and most everyone looks frumpy in capris. I wouldn't be surprised if the men married to these frumpy women were cheating.

You are just too funny! Men are cheating because their wives wear capris! I love you because you crack me up. Anything to win an argument. But seriously, straight men do NOT care about the length of your pants! Nor do they care if you wear 3/4 length sleeves. It just doesn't make any difference to them.
