See... to me, capris look the cutest on women with tiny, delicate ankles! Wear a very tasteful, small anklet, get a pair of strappy sandals with a wedge heel and wear some capris. I bet you would look great!

I don't like the cuffed look either. But I LOVE capris! They are so great in the summer when it's too hot for jeans, but I hate wearing shorts because my legs aren't that great.

I have a friend that can pull all these fashion looks off and she looks great. The cuffed pants, capris with the boots, etc. She's probably about 5ft or just a tad taller and thin. She always looks so nice. She does wear 2 1/2 in heel or higher at all times.
I've seen the teeny boppers wearing them with flip flops and I like that look too. It's not for me, however.

When that look first came out, I felt the same way(I also felt that way about capris)! I thought that it was so stupid looking and a style that would be short lived.
THEN, months down the line I tried them on for some reason and they looked good on me. I was very surprised.
They look best on me with at least a 2 1/2 inch heel. The same goes for capris with a flared leg.

I keep trying these on with no luck. I *want* to get a pair, cause I can't wear shorts on the job, like I did at my last place, and these would be perfect for the summer weather and the office. But I'm 5'5" and big chested, and no matter what style I try on, I look short and stumpy and top heavy. x(

I like the cuffed capris and the longer pants but only if you have long slim legs. They don't work on women or girls with shorter and or heavier legs. I also like capris in general but only if they taper at the bottom. I don't like the capris that are baggy at the bottom.
I have trouble with wearing capris because I'm 5'7" with a size 9 foot. So capris make me look like I have flippers for feet. That is unless the pants end at the knee (which I think are called Clam Diggers.)

Flipper feet!!!! That made me laugh OUTLOUD!!I pictured you walking down the street with your capris and flippers! Ha!
Came back to say I like capris and I am 5'4". Hubby didn't like them at all the first year I wore them, but he must be used to them now because he never said anything this year! :7

I didn't like them at first either but I tried on a pair of maternity ones at Motherhood and I love them. I like capris too - I can't wear shorts to work but capris are casual dressy enough for my office.

My daughter is 7 years old and already 4'3". And she weighs barely 50 lbs. Finding full length pants is difficult - ALL her pants are capris

RE: Oh Nadine!
Oh my gosh Shelley! A few more inches and your daughter will be my height, LOL. I always wanted to be taller....
I love capris. It's really difficult to find pants that fit, being short but well-endowed in the behind. Large sized "junior" capris generally work though.
The fashion trend I cannot stand has to with the boys wearing their baseballs caps at an angle. I don't mind baseball caps, or wearing them backwards, but the sideways thing just looks so ridiculous. I fight the urge to straighten them...
BTW, the picture of your cat cracks me up everytime I see it!! We *have* to get another kitty soon.
