Introducing a new series to Needs of the Many … “Things I Hate.” They are numerous, and they need to be shared.
In the inaugural post of “Things I Hate” I will take aim at the scourge of female fashion … capri pants.
I don’t know where the capri came from, and I don’t give a damn. They have all the glamor and charm of a bucket full of vomit, and that opinion is nearly universal among men. I have yet to meet a man who likes his woman to wear capris.
The irony is how ‘cute’ women seem to think capris are. Further proving that women are just as clueless about their fashion as men are about theirs. Trust me women, you look about as ‘cute’ in capri pants as a plumber’s hairy ass crack after 12 hours of cleaning up fecal matter in 120 degree heat. Alright, I take that back. The plumber still has more style than you.

Butt crack isn’t always so bad:
OMG that looks painful! Cinderellas fat stepsisters!
Yep. Tasteful but cooler for summer than pants.
This entire thread should have just ended, flat out ended, right after your post. A picture is worth a thousand words ... and yours ends the debate.
The knee pants shown in pictures here look pretty normal to me. That’s what we used to call them. Us little boys even got stuck wearing them for about six months back in 1964 when our moms accidentally thought they were cute and stylish.
Have you seen dresses?! All of them for hoochies unless one wants to pay an arm and a leg. What happened to nice, demure summer dresses?
I’m not at all sure you correctly identify capri pants...check the Audrey Hepburn picture...they may be capri. Brush the ankle and have a slit at the side...very trim at the ankle and really show off spectacular shoes. Not to be worn by anyone fat hipped or fat ankled.
Still think you are describing capri’s?
Pedal pushers, long bermudas, clam diggers, modern versions of each, etc. are not capri’s. Think Sophia Loren in an Italian movie...not sexy? You are wrong!
It’s the baggy denim capris that look like crap on even a nice looking woman.
Or how about Mary Tyler Moore as Laura Petrie? Didn’t she define capris?
You obviously haven’t seen Ann Coulter in capri pants.
I hate culottes.
Yeah, and Mary Tyler Moore gave an interview once about CBS censors being concerned about the camera angles when she turned around.
Pedal pushers aren’t bad. They are cooler than pants and cover the upper leg. I’m 59 and shorts don’t cut it anymore.
I think you are right!
Good addition.
I have gone back to sewing my slacks, which I hadn’t done in years.
I know what you mean about trying to find slacks with something longer than a 4 inch zipper!
Well, you will be sorry for all this capri bashing when Michelle shows up in a pair of them. Everyone knows what great fashion sense she has.
I have been opening the side seams and adding them for years...so easy to do.
Jackets however never get the stitching removed so they hang correctly.
