[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t realize how much disdain there is for capris! What are options when it’s super super hot out and jeans are not comfortable, and skirts are not practical (eg sitting on a picnic blanket with little kids)? [/quote]

Same! I just bought 3 pairs of these chinos for summer travel. Have I just outed myself as an out-of-touch old person?

Those are not capris.

People are assuming "capri" means any cropped pant. No! This is a capri pant:

They are very unflattering because they cut the leg in half and often hit at the widest part of your calf. It's very much a "middle aged mom" look (I am a middle aged mom). Those Frank and Eileen pants are just an ankle pant, which is very on trend and look cute.[/quote]

It’s sad that you can look at a picture of a badass woman getting into her kayak and fixate on her pants length. Seriously. [/quote]

It's not a documentary - it's an ad for the pants. PP is allowed to notice the pants, in the ad for the pants.[/quote]

It’s an ad showing a woman wearing appropriate athletic gear and PP is fixated on her calves. Sad. [/quote]

I'm the PP who posted the link and I did so only to explain that the Frank & Eileen pants that the PP had posted were not capris. I googled "capri pants" and chose the first link that had a good visual of the length of actual capri pants, since a lot of people on this thread seem to think that the hatred of capris is a hatred of all cropped pants and the only alternative is full length wool trousers or something.

Also, coincidentally, I am a kayaker and I would wear those capris kayaking because I like something that covers my thighs to prevent sunburn. But I would not wear them out to dinner because while they might be practical for kayaking, they are universally unflattering.[/quote]
