You are bad!

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.

Exactly. And sorry about the cankles on some days, but I'm not wearing them to upset you, honest. I'm doing the best I can to be comfortable and covered on these 90 degree days!
I definitely agree with the poster upthread who would love to buy new clothes but can't find any until this hideous hip-hugger fad blows over. I've yet to see a gal they are actually attractive on, but I KNOW it ain't me.
Well, my brother once said women's fashions were designed by men... No pockets so we can't carry money, and uncomfortable shoes so we can't run ;~)
But he's one of those single guys who probably shouldn't say stuff like that.
Marilyn...I had forgotten her wearing them too.
I think the real hatred was directed at the knit pants that get very tight and short after washing and especially the dryer shrinkage!!!
LONG LIVE CAPRI’S!

He is probably right
I was also getting summer dresses there, White Stag and Bobbie Brooks. Nice demure, at the knee or below... don't carry them anymore. *sigh*
Btw, 24 yr old daughter hates skinny jeans and hip-huggers. She is slim and willowy enough but she just hates the style.
ROFL!!
Yes, I am a seamstress also. When I see those little 4 inch zippers in slacks I just gag. Fabric stores must be doing a booming business lately.
Good tips... I’ll take a look :~)
Learn to sew or find a seamstress.
Hear, Hear!!
They are not flattering to a women's figure.
High heels flatter a woman's figure because they give the illusion of longer legs. Capri pants do just the opposite, they give the illusion of short legs giving an overall squished visual.
I get knit pants for winter there too. They’re usually White Stag and Bobbie Brooks. In the 60’s they were upscale clothing. They’re WalMart now! LOL
They are perfect for mountain biking. The pant leg doesn't get caught in the chain. The fabric is long enough and durable enough to protect the legs from scratches.
Will put a pair on tomorrow for our weekly jaunt on the mountain.
You are bad!
First of all, we aren’t including skirts, dresses and frocks in the discussion at all — we are talking ladies sportswear — the stuff they hate to pick out.
My wife looks great in Capri Pants. I think she also looks great in the similar cropped pants but I don’t like that style as well.
The cropped pants are too similar to what we used to call “clam diggers” in the sixties. Almost like “high water pants” on a guy.
Most adult women over thirty-five without a Junior Petite frame in sizing look better in Capri Pants than in shorts.
Some women and men dress like they “don’t give a damn” and unfortuantly that is the impression I initially form and, unless changed by actions, leave with upon meeting someone. I see people wear to church, to air travel and to shop various outfits that I would use to clean a basement.
Saundra, you can come over for a summer dinner in your Capri Pants at our house any time.
