I'm sorry if any of you have these, but I think they're the dumbest things since gauchos. The jeans with the folded up cuffs. You know...where the bottom of the jeans are turned inside out and the cuff is really long. Who thought of THAT one? Bleah!
I'm with you Donna! Although some of the cute gals here could probably pull it off. I don't like the yellow, dirty jean look either. I don't mind the slightly faded look. I have a pair of those myself.

This is coming from someone who avoided capris at all costs for YEARS!! I absolutely vowed I would never be caught dead in a pair.
And then... I tried on a pair at "White House/Black Market". They are white, slim to the leg, and have a little slit up both sides of the bottom of the pant. I put them with a pair of strappy heels and they really looked cute! I stood in the dressing room mirror in shock! So, I actually bought the things!
And... I purchased a pair of the jean capris with the long cuffs. They are really cute too. They have little tiny rhinestones that sparkle on the back pockets. I think what I've discovered is that it's all about the shoes you wear and how your exposed ankles/feet look. I wear an anklet and toe ring and make sure my toenails are polished. Strappy shoes with an ankle strap seem to look the best with them. It's a cute, cute look!
Donna, you are not alone. Many people cannot stand the jeans with the cuff thing. Although I did see Kira Sedgewick (sp?) with a pair with a really cute printed black top and black boots. She looked great. This is a trend that will be over soon.
I don't think the "What Not to Wear" girls like the capris look -- although they prefer them to shorts. Ah...they have made me see the light! I will never wear tapered pants again!
Gee, I thought maybe some fashion guru was out searching the area for ideas and saw me out with my dog in the morning with my flared jeans rolled up really high. Ha Ha.
I don't like them either. If I did buy a pair I'd probably rip the hem out and wear them normally.
ooh I can add one. I hate hate hate when people have words written on their butt. It just compels me to stare there when I totally don't want to. I can't seem to stop myself, and it's even worse when the person is not too sightly If you aren't 14 or younger, please don't do this.
I like those cuff pants because it saves me having to actually buy jean capri and now I can just cuff up my regular jeans. I am for any fashion that saves me money.
I love capri pants. I think they make you look petite I wear them all year round. Now the boots with capri thing from this winter I thought was stupid.
I like capri pants also. I have terrible varicose veins on one leg and am too self-conscious to wear shorts in public. Capri pants cover up the varicose veins and keep me cooler than full-length pants.
Ahem, yes, well... er, ummmm... Okay, okay! I have three pairs! White ones, khaki ones and denim ones and I LOVE them. They make me feel good. I don't know why. They make me feel like I have decent legs. So there!
