Where to Find Old Money Clothes That Look Expensive (8 Affordable Brands)

Capri fits are officially back for 2026. Capri trousers sit in an awkward place between shorts, leggings, and tailored trousers, which is exactly why they’ve always been hard to style.

Styling capris makes more sense once you stop thinking of them as a Y2K trend and start thinking of them as the trouser version of a summer basic.

They give you more shape than wide-leg linen trousers, more polish than leggings, and more coverage than shorts, which is probably why they keep coming back as soon as the weather gets warmer. The issue has never really been the capris themselves. It’s the styling around them.

The new version feels less overly styled and more off-duty: fitted black capris with oversized knits, soft athleisure layers, slim cropped trousers with ballet flats, minimal tanks, vintage sneakers, and that slightly effortless 2000s yoga aesthetic that’s quietly coming back into fashion again.

Below are my top picks for the best capris outfit that you’ll actually wear this summer.
