Fashion Sense: Should guys wear Capri's?

Posted: 5/26/05 at 7:05pm

Okay, so I was at Macy's last weekend and I wanted some new shorts. They hadn't stocked up on shorts yet, but Calvin Klein had some capri pants. I tried them on. Put them back. Shopped around. Then decided I wanted them. So I bought them.

Okay. So should guys wear Capri's or just stick to regular shorts or jeans?

(actually they're not capri's they're "long shorts", but eh, whatever.)

I think they're cute, as long as they aren't too tight. If they're very tight it looks kinda scary... richard simmons scary...

I was actually glad to see capris in the men's department because I love to wear capris but hate the tight ones and figured I could buy some from there lol.

The material feels like a swim suit. They're baggy and really comfortable. I'm glad I bought them.

Yeah, I agree. I think they can be VERY cute!

Agree with CatsNY - you need good calves to pull off the look.

Well-defined, muscular calves, that...

wait, what was I saying?

Sorry, I'm a sucker for men with great legs.

depends what the scenario is. If its down to the ankles no if its a lil longer then shorts than yes they are fine

to me that's like wearing a pink shirt... you have to have the look to pull it off, otherwise it's hideous

Of course men should wear capris..along with dark socks and sandals. Such a fashion statement!

Gay men should wear Capri's only when they're on the Isle of Capri---and then only in the daylight hours.

Heterosexual men should NEVER wear Capri's.

Can we have a photo? I'm not sure if you mean really long shorts or actual fitted capris. (The latter is a definet no)

I'm going to have to second and third the comments that they're fine if you have the right look to pull them off.

I would look sad and pathetic.
Oh, and for the record, I also want to echo Cookie's statement. I think calling them capris when guys wear them sounds WAY too feminine, even for a flaming homo. Call 'em 3/4s.

Capris? no.....Clam Diggers? YES

I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them

NOBODY should wear Capris. This is one fashion craze I'll be delighted to see leave.

You know, some guys like to wear sun dresses, too. I hear they REALLY are comfortable! I personally haven't done this (not in public anyway) but I may muster up the courage.

Some men also enjoy wearing high heels! They elongate the legs and accentuate the calf. They would go PERFECT with the capris!

Sport floodpants/clamdiggers. "Capri's" is such a tacky word for it :-p

I have a pair of red clamdiggers I bought at Belk's once upon a time (junior year) and I must say they are some attention-grabbers. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's people admiring me legs :-d (kidding, really). Unfortunately they don't fit anymore. guess as I got more confident in my skin I filled out.

(15-16 were my skinny years. Now you can just sink your teeth into me :-d)

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
