HOW TO WEAR CAPRI PANTS

By Sara Gomes, 1 May 2024

Brace yourself, capri pants are coming back with a vengeance this season and we’re not complaining. The ankle-grazing style has ebbed and flowed in popularity for decades, first popping up in the 50s and 60s – think Audrey Hepburn and Marylin Monroe’s old Hollywood era when the stars were often spotted pairing these gems with a white shirt and statement jewellery. Having resurfaced in the 90s and now on our Spring and Fall ’24 catwalks, this trend seems to be going nowhere. So, sit back and let us walk you through the different ways you can style capri pants this summer:

FOR YOUR 9-5 AND 5-9

Heading from the office straight to your next BNO? Pull off the ultimate office-siren look by swapping out your trousers and pencil skirts for a pair of black capri pants. With a detailed slit to the hem, this pair from Topshop give off major Scandi vibes – team with an oversized blazer and strappy kitten heels (bonus points for mismatched shades) for a truly polished finish.

NEW LENGTHS FOR SUMMER

Whether you're beach bound or craving the city, a pair of capris is a MUST this season. When worn with a neutral racer vest and chunky sandals, white capri pants serve *major* summer-girlie vibes and our Topshop wide-leg capris do just that. Looking to nail two trends in one? Keep it breezy with lace capri pants by our very own ASOS DESIGN and wear with an oversized T-shirt for a high-low edge.

KEEPING THINGS CASUAL

No matter if you’re grabbing a quick lunch with your friends or simply taking a casual stroll around the city, a bold print is always a moment – especially leopard print. Feel like you’re walking Copenhagen’s fashion week runways with leopard printed capris from ASOS DESIGN and Topshop. For the ultimate scandi aesthetic, we suggest an oversized bomber jacket, ankle socks and ballet flats. If you ask us, leopard print is a certified wardrobe staple…

OFF-DUTY MOOD: ACTIVATED

Running errands or decompressing at home? Comfort is KEY to a good loungewear outfit, so why not add some cotton legging capri pants to your collection for the perfect laid-back, on-trend look. Combined with a crew-neck sweatshirt or a soft cardigan and a pair of dad trainers, consider your look elevated to model off-duty – it’s giving Princess D.
