There is a post on SO where someone is asking about what to wear for a 1st date. 2 people suggested jeans or capris if it's hot. I wanted to be like NOOOOOOOO, but then I thought maybe I'm out of the loop. So for the general population, what do you think about capris? Fashion sin or fashion yay?

Are we talking like old people capris...baggy with cargo pockets? Or are they referring to like fitted ankle skinny crops as capris? I need pictures before I can judge accordingly.
They remind me of old people. Like, my mom and my grandma wear them…
Yeah I think this is what I have in my mind too.
Maybe I need to go to the store and actually see some fashionable ones in person?
I'm short though and even though I think I have nice legs and like my legs (I like wearing skirts and dresses), I always thought they weren't right for shorties like me. So maybe that's why I'm biased?

I didn't this of this. What you suggested is cute.

Are ankle skinny crops considered capris? I think I consider capris stopping higher up on the leg, so I guess that's where my NOOOOOOO thought came from. I don't mind ankle skinny crops.
SCREW YOU ALL! I'm wearing my capris with cargo pockets, no matter what you all think. They're comfortable and I'm painting and making signs and I'm technically an OLD no matter what I (or others) think. Hausfrau wardrobe ftw.
But then, I'm not also going out on a hot date. In that case, no to cargo but okay to cropped.

I mean, to me, they are completely different but I'm not sure if everyone is "old" enough to remember the same cargo capri craze that we do, ya know?

Ok yeah I guess my NOOOOO definitely came from the fact that people were saying she should wear this on a first date.
I knew this thread was going to make me sad. I love capris. Mostly nicely structured ones with heels and a nice top. It shows off the only skinny part of my body (my ankles). ::whomp whomp::

But they're definitely making your waist-calf area look twice its natural size.

That's where I'm at. I'm old, I think they look cute on me, they're comfy and no one needs to see my frowning knees all the time.
ETA: I answered a different question. I answered "Why do you wear capris" instead of "Are capris fashionable." I wear them, but I know they are not fashionable.
And now I'm off to see if I can work off enough weight to fit back into my AT ankle crops that have been sitting in my dresser because I hate to get rid of them.
So_Fetch - I think cropped pants and structured capris are totally different than my cargos from Costco. They've been a wardrobe staple for a lot of people for many years, so you're good.

There are definitely more ways for capris to go terribly wrong than for them to go right.
