Are Men's Capris Set to Become the Latest Trend in Pant Wear?
In the world of fashion, trends come and go, but some manage to make a lasting impact. One such trend that's currently gaining traction is the style of calf-grazing trousers for men, commonly known as capris. Recently, the author spent three days outside Ray's Hometown Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with a specific intention - to confirm a hunch about the popularity of a certain style of trousers. The bartender at the bar, a reliable source, confirmed that it would be a good place to find men wearing capris. The author's observation validated the hypothesis. Many city-dwelling capri-wearers were spotted, finding the style to be a pragmatic garment, especially in the urban jungle. The experience was a testament to the trend's popularity in this specific location. Interestingly, the style is not just limited to men. Women's fashion has also embraced capris, with the Y2K-redux style being popular. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa have been spotted wearing retro culottes on their summer vacations, indicating the trend's widespread appeal. The fashion week runways have also seen the emergence of capris. Up-and-coming Amsterdam designers like YUME YUME and B.B. Wallace showcased at Amsterdam Fashion Week 2025, but there is no specific mention in the available sources of masculine-leaning capris in their recent collections. However, New York designer Aaron Cooper, who is also a cycling enthusiast, has integrated masculine-leaning capris into his collections, and indie labels such as Our Legacy, Rier, and Enfants Riche Déprimés have introduced versions of the three-quarter-length short-pant in recent collections. Amsterdam-based designer Camiel Fortgens uses the capri silhouette as a creative exploration, playing with scale and contrast in volume. Meanwhile, the shoe-to-pant interaction has become an increasing gap, with trousers straying from the Balenciaga-level of oversized and ultra-long inseams. In recent years, there has been a trend towards exploring varied inseams in men's warm-weather dressing, with shorts becoming longer. Many of these capri-style pants from indie labels have sold out completely on trendy retailers like SSENSE, suggesting that the trend is here to stay. Whether you're a city dweller or a fashion enthusiast, it's clear that capris are making a comeback and are worth a second look.
