[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I think women wear capri pants b/c they absolutely KNOW shorts look terrible on them and so they figure capris are a summery compromise.  At least they cover up the cellulite and varicose veins (and I'm speaking for myself here as much as for anyone else).   Shorts are worse, IMO.[/quote]

I think so too. Honestly, I think the women should just wear shorts. I don't care if they're overweight, I don't care if they have varicose veins. Capri pants just make everyone look strange.

[quote=Anonymous]OP. you are entitled to your opinion. I see women of all ages who look great in capri pants. I also see women who are older look great in a lot clothes that you, in your infinite fashion fascism, probably don't like. This ageist, sexist thread is boring and stupid. I suspect you are boring and stupid also.[/quote]

No ageism here (unless you want to say I'm ageist against everyone who's hit puberty).

Like a pp said, capris are cute on the 12 and under crowd. After that, they just don't look good. I don't care if you're an athletic twenty year old or a fit forty year old. Odds are they're just not flattering. I only specified middle-aged women because they're the only ones I have seen in them. If every twenty-something I saw today had been in capris, my thread title would have been "Dear 20 year olds: capris do nothing for you."

Also, what sexism? If I had said men look good in capris but women look terrible I could see where the allegation was coming from. As far as I know, capri pants aren't a style for men. If they are and I've just missed it, I imagine they make men look strange too.

This isn't like the thread that says once you're over a certain age/weight you shouldn't wear shorts. I'm just trying to spread the friendly message that I have seen more leprechauns than I have people who look good in capris.[/quote]
