Are capri pants cool again? It-girls weigh in
New season, new controversial 2000s trend making a comeback! After ballet flats, skirts-over-pants, Indie Sleaze, and pop-punk skinny jeans, this spring we’re bringing back none other than capris.
That’s right, we swore “never again” and yet here we are, in 2024, wondering if capri pants are back in style. Are they, though?
This time, you’ll be the judge of that: we’ve scoured the internet looking for the most stylish capri pants outfits, and here’s what we’ve found. Are they worth the hype? There’s only one way to find out.
1. Monochrome chic
If capris are good enough for The Attico co-founder Gilda Ambrosio, they’re good enough for us. During Milan Fashion Week Gilda was spotted wearing a total-black look comprising of a nylon cropped bomber jacket, slim capri trousers, and bedazzled pumps. The silver hoop earrings and rhinestone-detail shoes elevate the look from sporty to classy.

2. Denim à la Carrie Bradshaw
It wouldn’t be a Y2K renaissance without denim capris. Stylist and it-girl Emili Sindlev styled her low-rise capri jeans in true Y2K fashion: with a baby tee layered with a funky vest and pointy kitten heels. Combine this look with her signature blonde curls and the Carrie Bradshaw fantasy is complete.

Athleisure is still very much in, and there’s nothing like a matching set to make you feel cool and dressed up even on your laziest days. Content creator Alexandra Guerain keeps it stylish with textured capri leggings, a matching cropped t-shirt, patent leather boots, and a white leather shoulder bag. Her chunky silver jewellery and black sunglasses perfectly finish off the look.

For the quintessential off-duty-ballerina look, take a page out of Greta Pennacchini’s look. She paired her black capri leggings with a grey ribbed bandeau top, a matching cropped cardigan, semi-sheer tights, and black patent leather Mary Janes. Don’t forget to slick your hair back in a bun or a half-up-half-down do!

Even if we can’t make summer start sooner, what we can do is start to plan our summer outfits. Capris will look super cute—and, again, Carrie-inspired—styled with a frilly top, strappy kitten heel sandals, and a statement purse. Ellie Delphine is wearing black capris, but even colourful or printed ones (we’re thinking a red and white gingham) would look super cute.

If, like us, you’ve been looking for a way to style your biker boots with trousers (we love maxi skirts, but they get old after a while…), capris might just be the solution. Finish the look with a V-neck halter top, a hobo bag, and silver jewellery for the perfect “bad girl in a Disney Channel original movie” look.
