[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious - what length are capris? Just below the knee?  Mid calf? Or just above the ankles? Or all of the above.

Apologies if this was covered in the first 18 pages. I finally just got curious how this thread could be so long and only skimmed the last two pages. [/quote]

I confess to having read all 19 pages and the answer is not entirely clear to me.

From what I gather, the major sin capris commit is to end in the middle of your calf where it is widest.  This is said to make you look "stumpy." a great word I have failed to use often enough in my many decades.

I too am wondering if the capirs police find it acceptable to wear pants that end just below the knees.  Some of the anti-capris brigade seem to approve of ankle pants, which I believe end a few inches above the ankle.

Clarifications appreciated![/quote]

Thanks, pp (I am the above poster). I don't have the mid calf and can see how that can make you look stumpy. I have a pair of just below the knees in white that I thought were cute, but confess that I have no sense of style. I mostly wore skirts/dresses but that got tough with toddlers. And my thighs, though long and thin, have cellulite and are crazy pasty white. So shorts are a no go for me. So these just below the knees were my 'mom at the playground' outfit.

Capri police, please clarify! [/quote]
