[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fit of Capri pants really does matter. You can get away with a bad fit more in longer pants because then you at least get a longer line.

For some reason, women often get Capri pants very fitted. Why? This just makes your legs look bigger and emphasizes thick ankles or large feet. Would you buy a skin tight midi wiggle skirt? If no, why are you wearing the pant equivalent?

Also if the goal is to stay cool, a lighter weight fabric that floats further from the body is going to be more comfortable.

And don't buy khaki capris! Black is also not great if you don't have a tan. Navy and white are good neutrals. Olive if you have the right skin tone. Red is fun. NOT khaki.[/quote]

I think tapered/fitted mid calf capris are flattering on lots of people. The wide just above ankle length are not. [/quote]

Fitted and hit mid-calf? No, those are not flattering on anyone. Not even models look good in that! Why would you want to stop at the widest part of your calf? That instantly makes you look shorter and wider.

I think the super wide ankle length pants don't work unless you are super slim and the fabric is somewhat drapey (so not like stiff denim or canvas). But ankle length with a slimmer leg is universally more flattering than something that is going to hug the largest part of your calf. I think if you like that length, just wear a midi skirt where the fabric is going to graze but not be snug to the leg.[/quote]
