Capri pants after Labor Day?

Ladies: If you wear capri pants, do you continue to wear them after Labor Day if the weather is still fairly warm (50s-70s, for example)?

I know some people HATE capris. I don't. I know they supposedly make you look fatter and they visually cut your body, but I can't really wear shorts or skirts to work, so I like them when it's warm. Also, I think they look cute with cardigans, etc. I'm more interested in learning when others who wear capris call it quits for the year.

    If you like capri pants and it's still warm enough for you I see no reason not to wear them. I've worn shorts into November if it's not too cold.

    capri pants never.

    Okay back to the part where I made it clear I was asking people who wear capris...

    Background: I work in a hot indoor environment. I can't wear shorts or skirts because they are considered too revealing for the bending over I do in front of people. It's 70 outside when I go to work and in the 30s or 40s when I get off work. I am working with the options I have, which are long pants and capris.

    So, if you wear capris, what do you do? If you don't wear capris, great, good for you. I'm sure I hate some of your clothes, too. :wink:

    Why not?

    I don't really wear them anymore, but I would if I did. :bigsmile: Now I just wear short skirts when it's hot @work.

    I don't wear shorts to work either, but I do wear capris and ankle pants, usually from the time we first get into mild weather in the spring, until the weather demands a light jacket in the mornings, then I retire them.

    I'm in an office environment, so to dress them up a bit I wear nicer blouses, blazers, heels and some great accessories.

    I say rock it while the weather allows!

    I'll wear capris in the dead of winter (I'm in northeast pa) if that's what I want to wear and I'm going to be comfortable in them.

    If it's warm enough and you wont be cold go for it! I see nothing wrong with it. It was warm enough up here in Nova Scotia that I was wearing shorts on the first day of fall!

    Why not white. I wear white anytime. As long as I am paying for my clothes I do what I want, not what is dictated by others.

    If you like them, then you should wear them - that whole "dressing based on arbitrary calendar dates" went out in the Victorian era, I'm not sure why it's still a thing.

    But you're wrong about them looking good. They're a terrible, awful monstronsity of a pants. Like their spiritual sisters the jeggings, they make every body type look slightly worse - which is a fine and noble thing if you've got a great body and don't want to make everyone else feel bad about themselves. Otherwise, it's definitely possible to find things that are both cooler and cuter to wear. (Skirts?)

    I wear them as long as I can be comfortable in them. I start wearing them usually by late March or early April and continue to wear them well into October weather permitting. I also wear open toe shoes as long as the weather permits. Once it consisty doesn't get out of the 50s during the day then I give up and wear long pants and real shoes.
    I also work in an office environment so shorts are not permitted and I don't wear skirts because of some the activities my job requires including trips to the upstairs of our plant warehouse that has open grating floors. The guys might enjoy getting an eyefull if I did wear skirts though. lol :tongue:

    I don't like capris, but if I did and it was warm enough absolutely.

    I wear them as long as the weather permits. I did put away my white capris because in my head I still hear my mom's voice saying " You can't wear summer white after labor day!"

    I wear them...because its still warm here ( i'm in AL) the high is 90, but they air condition buildings to 60 so capris are a good compromise. I have also found that with wedge heels they tend to look cute and not make me look shorter.

    Depends on the capri and how you're wearing them. Those baggy, frumpy, shapeless, elastic waist things that my elderly neighbor wears with a glittery bedazzled sweatshirt, orthopedic shoes, compression stockings and a fanny pack when she goes to the casino to play the penny machines, look bad on everyone. Ones that are fitted and worn with cute shoes look perfectly fine.

    You clearly didn't read the OP.
    She can't wear skirts to work since they're considered too revealing and her job involves a lot of bending over.


    OP, I like capris.
    I wore them in March in VT when it was like 15F out so keep wearing them!

    Is there any reason people need approval from others for the most minor things possible?
    Wear sandals in the snow for all I care. Wear a scarf in the summer.
    Might get frost bite or heat exhaustion, but that's your prerogative :bigsmile:

    Just out of curiosity - why couldn't you wear a longer skirt?

    I am wearing a pair now. I will be wearing a pair to the gym later. I wear them in summer and the dead of winter.

    I will wear the s**t out of some capris if I feel they look good on me. :smokin:

    I wear capri's 5 days a week to work and will wear them until it gets to cold which will be about the end of October. I love capri's as you can tell, lol. I just don't wear white ones after labor day:smile:
