I just realized that I wasn't even a middle aged woman when I first started reading this thread. |

Haha, I wasn't around when this thread started but was definitely not middle aged yet when it happened. I also wasn't even a mom yet so this website wasn't on my radar. It's fun to have aged into the relevancy of this thread. Yesterday I literally pulled on a pair of linen pants, realized they had shrunk a bit since I bought them and are now capri length, thought of this thread, and threw them in a pile to be donated. They truly do not look good on me anymore! |

| Capris make everyone look stumpy. Consider ankle length pants in the summer. |

| Capris are the worst on anyone. That and tights on a man. |

Just so we are all on the same page, please post a link to what you mean by Capri pants.
I mean, I think everyone wears cropped pants that look good. My cropped palazzo pants are so comfy and stylish in the summer heat. |

I too remember when this was originally posted. Yes I was middled-aged already then (and more so now). I wore my capri pants on occasion then, and I still do now. I am sure I pass DCUMers sometimes who inwardly scorn them and I am OK with that. I think they look OK (I am tall and thin) but also am not striving to be a fashion plate all the time.
I always laugh when I see this season and post roll back around! Appreciate the sentiment but also will wear what I want 😆 as I enjoy this yearly reminder. |

This is the TRUTH. My girls would have had an entire wardrobe at their disposal. |

I actually love a man in capris. Seriously. Fat, short, tall…they get an upgrade with capris.
Women, no. Honestly, skirts cover the same territory and are more comfortable. |

| I’m 55 and have Capri pants. They’re lightweight and cooler than longer pants. I couldn’t possibly care less about what others think of my clothing choices. Judge away, as I really don’t care. It’s all about what makes me comfortable these days. |

Me too. I am much more comfortable in a pair of capris than a pair of shorts which show off my cellulite and spider veins. I bet the same snobs who scorn us capri-stas would undoubtedly bash us for doing that ... "OMG. If I had cellulite and/or veins like that I'd NEVER wear shorts!" Pfft. |
