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

[Anonymous]

I just saw this thread pop up and smiled. It's capri season...and they still look bad.

Happy Summer friends!

I went to an event today and many men and women in their 40s and 50s were in attendance. Most of the men wore polo shirts tucked in under their pot bellies and shorts.

Nearly all the women wore capri pants. Capri pants do nothing for you. If you are short, you don't look good in capri pants. If you are fat, you don't look good in capri pants. If you are tall, you don't look good in capri pants. If you are thin, you don't look good in capri pants. No matter the body type or age, capri pants are not flattering.

I say this lovingly. Wear anything else- anything! Shorts (long shorts, if you want to; even short shorts look better than capris), a skirt, pants, anything but capri pants. They make everyone look stumpy and shapeless. No one looks good in them.

You went to an event during a pandemic?

What was it? Did you wear a mask?

This is an annual revival of an old thread. That event was in the distant past.

This thread is 9 years old. (Side note - We should plan a party for its 10th anniversary next year. Will start planning my outfit now.). It comes back every year in the late spring or early summer.

Those are cropped, not capri.

It's so comforting that this thread continues on throughout the years. I'm definitely in for the anniversary party.

I don't get all the hate for capris. They do actually look good, on the right body type.

Just ordered a new pair! I’m overweight and in my 50s. They may not look great on me but at least my lower legs will be cool in the summer heat. Luckily, no one will recognize me when I venture outside since I’ll be wearing a mask...

Wearing Lagan look right now. Wish I was still middle aged.

I’m thinking about dressing like Carmen Miranda, just to annoy the PPs.

Yes, they look great on women like Audrey Hepburn. What other body type?
