Nobody has campaigned harder for the capri comeback than Kendall Jenner. She has spent the past year making the calf-grazing silhouette look like the most natural thing in the world, biking to Pilates in espresso brown pairs, taking the shape out for the evening with a crop top and a bob for her Emporio Armani fragrance campaign, and generally converting a Y2K punchline into a wardrobe staple. So when she posts a photo dump captioned “the ultimate capri,” the internet takes notes. The pair in question comes from Adanola, the British label whose leggings have quietly colonized every Pilates studio worth its reformer.

Her endorsement carries weight because she has put in the hours. Alongside a certain circle of street style regulars who have adopted the shape for ballet-adjacent workout looks, Jenner turned the capri into her calling card, styling it with ballet flats one week and a slouchy vest the next, then proving it could handle an Italian evening. The Adanola pair she chose is a leggings-style capri from the brand’s Ultimate line, cut high on the waist with a front seam removed for a cleaner line, engineered with medium compression and enough four-way stretch to survive a squat. It comes in black, midnight blue and a coffee bean brown that would look very good with this summer’s cobalt.

How to Wear the Ultimate Capri

The styling formula that Jenner keeps returning to involves ballet flats, which soften the athletic edge and land the whole look somewhere between the gym and a gallery opening. A cropped tank keeps things properly Pilates princess, while an oversized poplin shirt thrown over the top takes the same pair straight into errands and iced coffee. Sixty-five dollars buys you the pair, which feels reasonable for something with a royal warrant. The island of Capri gave these trousers their name in the postwar years, and Audrey Hepburn sealed the deal by wearing them through Funny Face with the kind of ease that made every other silhouette look laborious. Seventy years later, the same crop is back on the streets with a supermodel serving as its most persuasive ambassador. La dolce vita, with a water bottle.
