Just to clarify, capris are longer than Bermuda shorts (some people get confused between the two believe it or not!) and come down to the mid-calf or ankles. You can get the capri legging and the capri pant, and yes there is a difference!
Capri leggings are a thin legging that come to the mid-calf. To be worn with a long top or tunic and wedges or flats. NO HOSE!!
Shoes with straps tend not to work well with capris (and they always accentuate a thick ankle if that is something that concerns you). However, the nude color blends with skin tone and looks better than black if you want to wear a sandal with a strap.
Be aware of your leg shape. If you have wide or thick knees then stick to a capri pant as opposed to the legging which will only accentuate the thickness of your knees. Pale legs? Slap on some tanning lotion to get a nice golden glow. Nothing worse than seeing someone wear white capri pants or leggings with milk bottle white legs - UGH!
For a dressier look, choose a longer capri with a nice closed toe pump. Add an embellished flowy tunic and you will look fabulous! I'll let you in on one of my secrets. I have a number of beach cover ups that I wear as tunics and I love them! You can get them in a multitude of colors and textures, with sequins or beading, & bold prints....for the sheer ones you just need to wear a cami underneath. I love this look with capris and a great wedge heel sandal!
So, take a look at how to rock the capri look this summer.....
