Good thing I’ve found different ways the fashion girlies are wearing capris this spring/summer season. So if you’re looking to rock this trend anytime soon, carry on reading to find 8 ways you can style them!
What Are Capri Pants?
Capri pants generally refer to pedal pushers (you might also know them as clam diggers), the calf-length pants that end just below the knee. They were originally designed for cycling – hence the name pedal pushers – but have since become a controversial, yet popular style piece!
8 Classy Ways to Style Capri Pants
The most important tip to keep in mind when styling capri pants in a classy way is to always wear them with dainty footwear. Avoid the chunky shoes and boots, and instead, wear a pretty pair of sandals or flats to maintain a proportionate silhouette
1. Flared Halter Neck + Black Capris + Pointy Heeled Mule Sandals
Everything about this outfit screams chic! While it’s an all black look, the light layering of accessories makes the outfit stand out as a whole. I absolutely love the light flowy-ness of the flared halter neck and how well it pairs with the capris and pointy heeled mule sandals. This is the kind of outfit that is perfect for a fancy night out!
2. Off Shoulder Top + Black Capris + Ballet Flats
The it girls are currently wearing ballet flats, and I truly believe they’re the perfect shoes to style with capri pants! This is an outfit that you can easily throw on while still looking classy; All black with a sleek look.
3. Stripy Button Up + Brown Capris + Buckle Mule Heel
Mixing patterns in your outfits doesn’t have to be scary! The mixed patterns in this look are subtle but compelling, as seen with the brown capris being paired with a stripy button up and leopard print buckle heels. Throw on a pair of sunglasses, and you have a classy capri pants outfit that says, “I’m standing on business.”
4. Black Top + Black Capris + Black Platform Sandals
I clearly can’t get enough of an all black capri pants look because here’s another one! Still classy, but styled in a more casual way. Pair your capris with a black top and platform sandals for an every day outfit you can wear pretty much anywhere!
5. Asymmetric Top + Gingham Capris + Heeled Sandals
Capris are already a style piece that draws attention, so imagine how gorgeously eye-catching gingham capris look! I love how it’s styled here with an asymmetric top and heels as it truly gives fun yet sophisticated vibes!
6. Polka Dot Halter Neck + Trench Coat + Black Capris
For those spring/summer days where you feel a little breeze outside, this look will come in handy, striking the best balance between stylish and functional. The polka dot halter neck truly makes this look stand out, and I love it!
7. Ringer T-shirt + Gingham Capris
This outfit is both classy and casual, using bold red colors and accessories that complement the overall look. I love that it’s casual and fun when you see the outfit at first, but there’s that touch of classy-ness with the lace white socks and heeled ballet flats!
8. Peplum Cami + Denim Capris
Capris come in many different styles and denim is a classic! You can style these with basically anything and it’ll look amazing, but I specifically love how this outfit pairs denim capris with a white peplum cami and pointy t-strap flats. It’s casual, classy and cute all at the same time!
