Capris are acquiring a new legion of fans, thanks to Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner — but some still hate the trend
NY Post
Capri pants — those truncated trousers last seen on Carrie Bradshaw during the original run of “Sex and the City” — are back.
The favorites of Hollywood legend Audrey Hepburn have acquired a new legion of fans, who prize them for their easy summer vibes.
Celebrities Kendall Jenner, Anne Hathaway and Emily Ratajkowski have all stepped out in calf-length leggings recently, and Hailey Bieber was spotted in a polka-dotted pair. Nearly every brand offers its version of the style, from Gap to Reformation to Jacquemus, whose stretchy capris retail for $790.
Those trending now harken back to the streamlined midcentury styles — sleek, black and often in stretchier materials.
But the pants have their haters, mainly millennials who lived through capris’ last heyday in the early 2000s — when they were basically shortened versions of the era’s low-rise pants, often with tacky embellishments like sparkly embroidery or cargo pockets.
“They look wonderful on Audrey Hepburn … but I hate the idea of them on myself with the fury of a thousand suns,” Elisa Mala, a millennial travel writer who lives in Staten Island and did not want to give her age, recently told The Post.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
