Capri Pants Are Back — Here’s How To Style Them Better Than You Did In Middle School
The return of the capri pants is here, and it ACTUALLY isbetter than ever. We've all fallen prey to the 2000s madras bermuda and capri pants of our youth, so I was hesitant on these at first. Could this seemingly less-than-flattering length actually look good? But the more I see them styled in a fun, French-inspired way, the more I love them! This trend is definitely here to stay, so I rounded up everything from simple, denim capri pants to unique, polka dotted ones for you to shop! You're not gonna wanna miss these!

ASOS Capri Trousers
If you're wanting to opt for more of a casual look then I'd suggest donning this pair from ASOS. It's a casual and more effortless look than your typical, structured capris we normally see.
Gloria Vanderbilt Capri
You can't do a capri pants roundup without some perfect white, Y2K pairs! These look straight out of a Hilary Duff (A Cinderella Story, anyone?!) movie, and I'm in love! They look incredibly comfortable while remaining put together at the same time.
Maeve Red Capris
I feel like this outfit would be worn by Bridgette Bardot with some curtain bangs and a raffia or straw basket bag and I'm in love! It's so cute and screams "summer at the beach" to me! Anthro always has the best finds!
Urban Outfitters Gingham Capris
Want to get a little more brave and out-there with the trend? This look would be perfect for you then! It is charming and quirky and oh-so-fun! I love the red detailing in the shoes but would love to see the capris paired with a black off-the-shoulder sweater!
Mango Belted Capri Trousers
This incredibly chic pair of capris are stylish and affordable at under $50! I love the Parisian way they're styled above with the sleek off-the-shoulder and kitten heels. Tres chic!
Maeve Polka Dot Capri Pants
Another incredible French-inspired option that will make you look like you're meant to be walking the streets of Paris in the nighttime. I adore the whole look here and the polka dots really pull the whole outfit together. Adding this to my cart as we speak!
Levi's 311 Capri Jeans
This Canadian tuxedo is the quintessential styling I imagine for these capris. A denim-on-denim moment is adorable and great for a night out where you can pair them with heels like above. Throw in a sequin purse for added measure, and you're ready to rock this throwback trend!
Topshop Zip Front Capris
This entire outfit looks like it was taken right off of the Grease set, and I'm not mad about it. I love the sultry effect of this outfit with the crop top and the heels that help to elongate the leg. I'm in love with this look!
NYDJ Utility Pants
These pants are probably my favorite in this whole roundup because they give off such a cool-girl vibe. The utility styles adds a masculine element to the feminine-style that is great for outfit juxtaposition. Strappy heels and a white tee shirt are the perfect pairing for these cute pants!

I love wide-leg cropped pants and these take cropped to a whole other level! I'm predicting that this style of capri will be everywhere for summertime. For under $100 that's a great deal as well!

Cargo capris give me such Kim Possible vibes, and I'm so obsessed! I love this look and also love that it comes in extensive sizing as well! It's such a great affordable alternative to try the trend on a budget!
Target High Rise Capris
I actually have a pair extremely similar to these that I wear nonstop because of how comfortable they are. They almost feel like leggings but give the appearance of a put-together silhouette which I love. And Target is such an affordable option to try trends and not feel like you're wasting money on too many trends over time.
