capris?? in 2024?? unironically, groundbreaking.

one of the most controversial trends popping up all over the place for spring/summer 2024 is capris, or pedal pushers. like some other trends this year (ahem, ballet flats), they bring us back to a time (2008) we’d all prefer to forget. but, you can bet that just like low-rise jeans, these fun spring/summer bottoms are making a comeback, love ’em or hate ’em!

the good news is there are a ton of ways to style capris, and if you hop on this trend sooner rather than later, you’ll find loads of options at the thrift store! so here are 3 ways to style a capri pant in 2024:

lace capris

kill two birds with one stone – or rock two trends with one item. lace capris incorporate the cropped pant look and the sheer/lace obsession happening right now. check out the intimates section of your local thrift store and see what you find! you can wear these on their own and bare it all with a kitten heel for a night out, or layer a skirt over the capris for a more dynamic look.

legging capris

the ballerina off duty/pilates princess aesthetic has been growing in popularity over the past couple years and shows no signs of stopping. these are a dime a dozen in the athletic section of the thrift store – chances are, you’ll have a wide selection to choose from. a cropped legging in a lighter colour, paired with a casual top and a ballet flat is the perfect way to test drive the capris trend to see if it’s for you.

classic capris

these are the easiest ones to style, because you can keep it as simple as you’d like. to create a classic, retro silhouette, get a pair of fitted capris that slightly flare at the bottom, pair with a fitted high-neck tank and a platform heel – bonus if you add some vintage-feeling sunglasses to complete the look.
