Dear middle-aged women: capri pants do nothing for you.

Even if someone had a great bod and was wearing them, I would still think- great ankles and calves- shame about the outfit! How much better would she have looked in something that was not that outfit? It's kind of a look that says "I'm done. I never need sex again. Don't touch me and pass me the pizza"

Really? That's what the pictures of Audrey Hepburn above and the model in the cropped pants say to you?

Yes. Look at the crossed arms. She looks angry, like she doesn't want it but she needs it. And the cankles. For a thin woman, this look gives her cankles.

You must be kidding me. Audrey Hepburn is a style icon who has been posed like this by a photographer.

Sometimes it's more about comfort. I'm too fat to wear shorts, so even showing a little ankle keeps me cooler than full length pants. Also, I like to show off my ankles because they are the thinnest parts on me! lol

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.

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.

I know straight men who dislike the way Capri pants look on women. Sorry to disappoint you.

Audrey Hepburn is a style icon for SOME women.

She is not making any top 10- or even top 1 million lists for ANY men regarding her appeal.

Adjust your capri-wearing accordingly.

But then you have these tiny little ankles that appear disproportionately thin compared to the pants billowing off your butt and chopping you off mid-shin. Not a flattering silhouette.

But I don't dress for men, so I'm not really interested in that

Exactly. Wearing capri pants will advertise that value. I refer you back to the original statement: "I'm done. I never need sex again. Don't touch me and pass me the pizza" If that's what you are going for, great. No shame in that game!

No.. I don't dress for men; I do like sex; I do have sex; I don't eat pizza. I dress according to what I like, what suits me and what is in fashion. Cropped pants, slightly longer than the ones in the Audrey picture, meet all of those criteria for me.

This thread cracks me up every year. I wear capris because I have had trouble with spider veins since I was 18. If I wore shorts, you shallow bitches would be yelling at me about hiding them.

I'm also tall and thin, so I look fine. My husband could give a sh*t about what I wear, so it has no detrimental effect on my sex life.

Carry on judgy skanks...
