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.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 7:12pmThe 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.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 7:21pmdepends what the scenario is. If its down to the ankles no if its a lil longer then shorts than yes they are fine

Posted: 5/26/05 at 7:26pmto me that's like wearing a pink shirt... you have to have the look to pull it off, otherwise it's hideous

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.

Posted: 5/26/05 at 8:44pmCan we have a photo? I'm not sure if you mean really long shorts or actual fitted capris. (The latter is a definet no)
#14re: Fashion Sense: Should guys wear Capri's?
Posted: 5/26/05 at 8:46pmI actually tried looking and couldn't find a model I liked...

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.

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)
