As we wave goodbye to the ever-popular 7/8th pants, let’s not ditch them entirely—they might just make a comeback before you know it! However, come Spring 2024, it’s all about the resurgence of a shorter, more charismatic trend: the Capri Pant. This trend isn’t just sneaking back onto the scene; it’s doing so with a vengeance, ready to add a splash of iconic cool and sexiness to our wardrobes once again.
A Brief Fashionable History
Rewinding to the 1940s, Capri Pants first came into the limelight. However, it wasn’t until the swinging sixties on the scenic shores of the Isle of Capri—that they really cemented their place in fashion history. Named after their place of resurgence, these pants became synonymous with style icons such as Brigitte Bardot, who practically made Capri Pants her uniform.
After fading into the background, they made a brief but memorable return in the early 2000s, sported by trendy lolitas. Fast forward to now, and they’re strutting down runways and city streets alike, proving that what goes around truly does come back around.
How to Style Your Capri Pants This Spring
So, how do you pull off Capri Pants without looking like you’re stuck in a time warp? For starters, look no further than fashion’s beloved muse, Carrie Bradshaw. Emulate her style by pairing Capri Pants with a laid-back baseball t-shirt and some chic mules for a look that screams old-school charm with a modern twist. The beauty of Capri Pants lies in their versatility; they can swing from casual to upscale with just a few tweaks in accessories and accompanying pieces.
Whether you opt for the cargo-style Capri Pants or a sleek, tailored cut, these pants promise ease and flair. Don’t shy away from experimenting with bold patterns or unexpected fabric combinations that can elevate your Capri game to enviable levels.
