Capri Comeback: Fashion's Mixed Response To The Resurgence Of The Classic Pant Style
This controversial trend is dominating summer mood boards.
You’re walking through the streets of an Italian island, sipping limoncello under the warm sun. You feel comfortable and effortlessly chic in a white t-shirt and capri pants. No, the year is not 1960, it's 2024 and capris are back. 
The Mirror Palais SS’24 collection suggested the comeback of the controversial cut-offs as a model posed in slinky black capris paired with an open-cropped black cardigan and black stilettos. The look brought a 1960s staple into the present day, but it was surrounded by an air of hesitation.
Is the fashion world ready for the resurgence of the capri pant? The response is mixed.
Some people refuse to participate in the comeback.
Others are welcoming capris into their closets with open arms.
The revival poses one question: how do we style them?
Luckily, the IT girls have the answers.
Devon Lee Carlson paired cheetah print capris with a black t-shirt, sunglasses, and an oversized YSL tote for a laid-back look with an edge. In another Pinterest-worthy look, she matched black capris with a star-embellished lilac tank top and platform flip-flops.
An oversized shirt, simple white tank top and ballet pumps (another controversial trend) are the perfect match for a pair of capris according to Bella Hadid.
A quick search on Pinterest shows an array of styling options. A chequered matching set consisting of capris and a peplum-style top. A sleek all-black look paired with silver ballet pumps. Denim capris paired with a cropped square-neck black tank top and a statement belt.
The results show that, although capris have proved themselves to be versatile, there are key components to the 2024 resurrection. When combined with cut-offs, ballet pumps, sunglasses, and an oversized tote bag create the perfect laid-back summer outfit.
Embrace your inner Audrey Hepburn and let this trend transport you to the island of Capri.
