Capri pants vs wide-leg pants: which suits your day?

When the weather warms up, jeans start to feel heavy. Capri pants and wide-leg pants are two of the easiest swaps. Both are comfy and both look put-together, but they suit slightly different days.

Capri pants: easy, breezy and practical

Capris finish around mid-calf, so they stay clear of puddles, sand and the garden. They're great for walks, travel and busy days. Pair them with a slip-on sneaker or a flat sandal and a relaxed blouse.

Try: The Eileen Capri Pant, with an elastic waist and soft, lightweight fabric.

Wide-leg pants: relaxed but polished

Wide-leg pants skim over the body instead of clinging, so they feel cool and look elegant. They're lovely for lunches, church, family dinners or anywhere you want to feel a little dressed up without trying too hard. A wedge sandal or a low slingback finishes the look.

Try: The Magnolia Comfort Pant or The Hazel Cotton-Linen Pant.

Which one should you choose?

  • Lots of walking, gardening or travel? Go capri.
  • Want something you can dress up or down? Go wide-leg.
  • Can't decide? Many of our customers keep one of each in a neutral colour. They'll work with almost every top you own.
