Capri pants have been trending in the background as a microtrend for quite some time now. But this spring, their resurgence is going strong and celebrities like Zoe Kravitz and Hailey Bieber have recently been spotted rocking the style. While their roots date back to the 1940s and ’50s, capri pants are as prominent a part of ’90s style as platform flip-flops and head scarves. Considering we can’t get enough of the looks from that era, it’s no surprise that capri pants are making a serious comeback this season.
Black capri pants, in particular, are becoming popular as an excellent alternative to jeans in the summer. They’re lightweight, form fitting, and the cut out leg is perfectly suited for warmer weather. Sporty, legging-like styles are preferred for running errands, while more structured styles can easily be worn from the office to dinner. Personally, I like the idea of black capri pants with open toes and heels for a night out.
