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.

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

Well-defined, muscular calves, that...

wait, what was I saying?

*fans self*

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

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.

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)
