The Capri Comes Back Around

The Capri Comes Back Around

The capri has returned after twenty years in the wilderness. It is now cut cleaner and sits lower, and people are wearing it with ballet flats and long coats. This edit collects every version, from cotton and denim to leather and knit.

A silhouette nobody saw coming back

Capris were written off as a two thousands mistake. The new ones are longer, more tailored and often slim through the leg, and the internet has decided they pair well with a pointed flat.

More trousers and shorts

The length is the point: just below the knee, giving the ankle a full view. The bottom half decides the proportion, so these are worth choosing carefully.

Still more trousers and shorts

Denim capris are the easiest version to wear, especially with a fitted top. Trousers and shorts set the tone for everything above them.

Even more trousers and shorts

Leather and satin versions make the shape dressier than the name suggests. Easy, wearable and a good place to be a little bit adventurous.

More from the edit

Stretch fabrics keep the line clean, which is what stops the cut from looking dated. A few more pieces from the edit that did not fit the other groups.

Finding the right proportion

Balance the cropped leg with a longer top or a big coat. A slim shoe finishes the line.
