Somewhere between shorts and full-length trousers sits the capri, a silhouette that hits right below the knee, giving you the breeziness of a short with the polish of a proper pant. Capri or pedal pusher, call it what you want, the debate's been going since the style debuted in the 1950s, and it hasn't slowed the trend down one bit. If anything, it's part of the charm.
Rihanna and Beyoncé have both worn capris on stage this season, turning a once-divisive length into one of fashion's most talked-about silhouettes, proof that the cropped hem can carry as much glamour as a full-length one.
The appeal is in the range. A high-waisted linen capri with a flared hem feels tailored enough for the office, while a soft printed pair leans easy and everyday. A legging-style cut makes for an effortless throw-on, and if you're leaning into the longer-hemline trend more broadly, bermuda shorts round out the edit nicely.
Consider this your cue to give capris another look.
