After cargos and parachute pants, capris are having a moment; here's how to style them

Love it or hate it! Capris are back in the fashion game and you can thank or blame celebrities for the same. Recently, Jennifer Lawrence was spotted in New York City wearing baggy capri pants. Apart from her, several A-listers including Gigi Hadid and Halsey have hopped on to the trend as well.

Their first iteration dates back to the late 1940s, when designer Sonja de Lennart was walking on a beach in Capri, Italy, and cut off the bottom of her pants so as to not get them wet. Later, variations of cropped pants were popularised by icons of the ’50s like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.

In the 90s, capris made a return in slim, fitted styles and now bigger and baggier ones are the new additions of the 2000s. They also became a staple in Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe in the popular series Sex and the City.

The Capri enthusiasm is all the rage on TikTok too with several videos going viral on how to style them. Capris are for risk-takers and that's what makes them cool.
