[madrchsod]

1. the only woman that should wear them

should be in the age range of 18-25 and have 0 body fat. with some rare exceptions capri`s should never be worn by mature women...god am i going to be flamed...

[matcom]

3. heh

:popcorn:

[CatWoman]

6. *grr*

[supernova]

10. Fuck you!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[progmom]

24. are you being serious?

they're basically cropped pants, right? you think only skinny people should wear them? how do you feel about shorts? what is appropriate for women with body fat to wear in the summer?

[Left Is Write]

31. I'm closing in on 39, and I think I look pretty damn good in mine.

[Taverner]

2. Capris are nice

And i think they look good on all women but....

I prefer hot pants and thongs in public...

[DrDebug]

7. Especially for you. A woman wearing a thong in public

[Taverner]

21. See? Now if she were wearing just the thong she could have

gotten away with it!

[NoSheep]

4. Only a small minority can wear them and the rest need to figure it out.

They make most look dumpy....sorry.

[Chovexani]

17. I almost died laughing one day

I saw this woman on the train one day that had on a halter top, a pair of capris that were those hideous plumbers crack type pants...and a pair of Uggs (Mukkluks? Whatever the ridiculous furry boot that is popular now).

And she had the nerve to stare at me. Sure, I had on a pair of bondage pants at the time (with lots and lots of zippers), but nobody saw my drawers when *I* bent over. :P

[progmom]

25. they make people look dumpy?

cropped pants make people look dumpy?
well. i'm fucked then. dumpy summer ahead.

[NoSheep]

27. Hee-hee...sometimes dumpy can be comfortable.....I'm all dumpy

right now, myself. I'm just jealous that I can't wear them. I think they are cute, and if one is comfortable in an outfit-it will look better on you. I feel sooo uncomfortable in them...I've tried, but they are tooooo far down the dumpy scale on me. :(

[Dervill Crow]

35. I figured out that I AM dumpy.

Dressing "correctly" is not going to fool anyone, so I wear what I'm comfortable in.

[Dervill Crow]

5. No, they're wonderful.

You would not want to see me in shorts or even a skort, but I can feel scantily clad in a pair of capris.

It's essential to have the right shoes, though.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I'm with you. I wear capris all summer long

because trust me, the world is not ready to see me in shorts.

Oh, and I wear Teva flip flops all year long, even in the winter, drives people nuts.

[Dervill Crow]

41. Good for you!

We're not allowed to wear flip flops to work and no bare toes unless the temp outside is above 80 degrees. However, in the great Northwest an amazing number of people wear socks and sandals, and ;;;gasp;;; they do it with CAPRI PANTS.

Organic socks and Birkenstocks, no less.

[Ariana Celeste]

20. Same here!

While my thighs and knees may be questionable, I have nice ankles. Plus it is just more comfortable in hot weather than a pair of pants!

To avoid the "dumpy" look, I wear denim capris with back pockets. :).

And I'm 20 so I guess I fit in one of the above poster's age range. ;).

I bought a couple of tops that go very well with capris and hip huggers- sleeveless and strapless, elastic on the bust, and loose over the stomache and hips. The fabric below the bust kind of flows out a little, hiding the gut yet looking plenty feminine at the same time. And my hair is just long enough to cover my shoulders and that little tiny bit of fat between the shoulder and bust. Lol. I love clothes, sorry.

:hi:

[luvLLB]

28. when it's 110 degrees, I wear anything I want...

[VelmaD]

8. Totally agree...

They look dorky. I don't wanta dress like a damn hobitt.

[supernova]

11. Only on you, m'dear

I look very attractive in capris. So there. :P

[underpants]

12. Not if the little lady can walk the back door and get clams

:bounce:

[supernova]

13. Huh?

Are you referring to when we used to call them "clamdiggers?"

[underpants]

22. Yeppers

same thing

[Dervill Crow]

36. I remember when they were called pedal pushers.

We wore them with Keds.

[Chovexani]

14. Ya know

When I was a kid and wore my sister's hand-me-down pants, and they were short on me (I'm taller than her), they were called highwaters and I got laughed at. When I went down south to visit my cousins they used to have a little rhyme: "The flood is over, the land is dry. Why you wear your pants so high?" :P

But, you know whats even worse than capris? MANPRIS. :scared:

[jonnyblitz]

16. damn

I guess i better not wear my manpris to the gathering tomorrow. :P

[Chovexani]

19. LOL

I think you could rock a pair of manpris. ;)

[jonnyblitz]

30. ew

you have no idea how much i loathe those on guys...ack!! :scared:

[Chovexani]

32. I've seen some scary ones

Note to men everywhere: only three people alive can get away with showing off their calves, and you're not it.

[Mutley]

45. I have seen ONE man pull off manpris

but he had the most exquisite calves I've ever seen on a man.



Crap, am I drooling?

[One_Life_To_Give]

15. Depends on the Guys' Calves

Some Guys got something to show and others don't.

[Zuni]

18. They are worse than Hitler and PCP combined!

:cry:

[Orangepeel]

23. The network (CBS?) had a problem with Mary Tyler Moore wearing them

on the Dick Van Dyke show. According to something I heard on some TV retrospective special, they had a rule about how many episodes she could wear them in (she had to wear skirts more often) and they had to make sure there was no "cupping" of her butt cheeks.

[mondo joe]

26. They can pry my manpris from my cold dead legs.

So I'd better have nice underwear on, just in case.

[jmm]

29. I don't like modern society so

I'm leading the downfall today ;-).

[trof]

33. DOWN WITH CAPRI PANTS!

YEAH!

[Dervill Crow]

37. LOL

You reminded me. I've heard this at least 15 times, but I have to laugh.

Q. Why does Michael Jackson like K-Mart?

A. The little boys' pants are half off.

[Chovexani]

46. It never stops being funny.

Did you catch Conan O'Brien on Thursday night? Triumph went to the trial to mock the Cult of the Tremulous Wounded Starchild*. Comedy gold...it was right up there with the time he razzed the Star Wars nerds.


*Michael's crazy ass fans

[MidnightWind]

34. I love them.

and I think I'll go out and buy more just to tick some of you off! Seriously, when it's 100 degrees out, I do not want to walk around and expose my flabby middle-aged thighs to the general public. Capris allow me to maintin some of my dignity, spare the public the sight of my flabby thighs and also keep me cool!

[xmas74]

38. If I want to wear any kind of shorts in the summer to work

(and in MO you want to wear shorts to work) I am only allowed to wear capris. So I do own quite a few pairs.

[salin]

39. D*mn that Laura Petry (Petry? Petrie?)

Didn't she get them popular the first time around?

[peekaloo]

40. They're wonderful. It saves me time shaving my legs.

[yvr girl]

42. Length is important, as are shoes

If the capri pants are too long, they just look like floods. Clunky shoes are out, as are socks.

[2bfree]

43. Why do so many people care what others are wearing?

So long as they cover up what they are suppose to why should it matter?

[Beware the Beast Man]

44. I like capri pants. They show leg.

:evilgrin:
