More recently, capri, along with skinny jeans, were among the top things that, according to fashion experts, will not return to the catwalks soon. But fashion is cyclical, and now the cropped trousers model is back at the peak of popularity.

Capris first appeared in women's wardrobes in the second half of the 1920s. However, they began to be in demand only 30 years later, when the German designer Sonia de Lennart slightly modified the product, making capris as we know them now. Three-quarter-length skinny trousers owe their popularity to the actresses of the 1950s and 1960s. Audrey Hepburn was the first to be seen in Capri, then Marilyn Monroe, and even later Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy and other style icons.

The return of the legendary model in the fashion industry began to be talked about last year, when the aesthetics of the 2000s were felt in every show. Of course, since that time, capris have undergone some changes: designers have raised their waists and made them narrower.

In 2024, it became obvious that the comeback of cropped trousers was inevitable, as can be seen from past fashion shows, as well as from the exits of modern style icons in the person of Gigi and Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski.

If you are still in doubt whether to buy capris, here are some examples of their styling:

• With a T-shirt:The most basic option will be a combination of capris with a plain or printed T-shirt, depending on the event, you can complement the image with stilettos, loafers or sneakers.

• With a jacket on the way out:A form-fitting trousers model will look great with a voluminous jacket, under which you can safely wear a corset.

• With a shirt and ballet flats:One of Bella Hadid's favorite styling techniques is a combination of capris, a loose shirt and trendy ballet flats.
