Capri Pants ?

[Janice]

During your downtime, do you live in Capris, jeans or shorts?

I live in shorts all year at home and capri outfits when I go out. Everything here is casual unless a special event.

I am lucky, I can save a lot on clothing.

Carpis and shorts. I'm all about being comfortable on the week-end

Oh definitely capri's - they were made for older women!!!! I will wear shorts under protest but I prefer carpi's. It has to be 95-98 before I'll go to shorts.....I've inherited my mother's lovely varicose vein tendency...... ugh. Thank goodness they came back in style!

But now I don't know what to call capri's. My kids say capri's are the shorter pants that come below your knee. And then you have cropped pants that are just a few inches longer than my capri's. And now they're coming out with very long shorts. So I am a little confused....he he

During the winter, I wear my jeans. On the other 3 seasons, I like to wear my shorts.

I used to live in blue jean cut off shorts until I was introduced to capris. I love 'em.

Live in shorts, but the capris have grown on me alot. I wear them when I go out to eat and such. But usually I am in a tank, shorts, and flops.

Us girls really have it made.....

i have one pair of capris, but i dont wear shorts or capris outside the house or beyond the yard.

I just like capris cause they are easy to pack and wear on cruises, etc. Everyone here wears them. They are in fashion right now, cute. You always look good in them.

I wear both. But, if I am going out to eat at a restarant or somewheres then I usually wear capris because it is a little dressier. Just depends on where I am going.

[Janice]

You know, Cajungal, you get a couple pair of white capri's and you are set for the whole summer.

Actually, I CAN wear them at work during our "business casual" days. Just no jean material or flip-flops. It's great!

Capri pants and shorts most of the time. During the winter some of the teachers thought I didn't own a pair of long pants.

Shorts and jeans. I love capris but they look terrible on me.

Unless I am going out you will find me in MuMu's. At 65 I can wear what I want, when I want and there is no one to say me nay.

Hey, I just turned 60 last year and I will keep up with the fashions of any youngster..

I love dressing up and wearing cute outfits. Basically, I will usually just put on capris and a cute top.

I look like a dump at home and love it.....

I love the ankle length capri too. They go way back. I remember when stars wore them in the 50s and 60s. They had a name for them, but I forget. Very slimming.
