Capri pants are a style of pants that end near the mid-calf and above the ankle. They are designed to show off the ankles and calves. They are comfortable, they look good on young girls to older women. They can look casual or dressy depending on the top and the shoes worn with them. Since capris make legs appear shorter, petite women should opt for a longer capri style.

Capri pants should be fitted, but not skin-tight, and should have straight or slightly flared legs. Don’t wear capris where the leg gets smaller or they have too big of a flare. They should be made of lightweight material.
For an elegant look, choose silk, linen or cotton capri pants.

Capri pants look best with flats or shoes with very low heels, no high heels, and definitely no socks, and since capris are lightweight, sneakers are out.

For the casual look of capri pants on vacation or at the beach, wear canvas flats or flip-flops.

For a more sophisticated look for pool parties, summer barbecues, nights on the town, and late-night parties, wear strappy sandals, ballet flats, or backless sandals with the capri pants.

Tops worn with capri pants should always be plain and not show the midriff. For a classy look, a long-sleeved V-neck shirt looks great.

And remember those feet: When you go out in sandals or flip flops, feet should be pedicured and nail polish free of chips.
