Poll question: Capri pants on a man?
Mmmmkay so I was on the bus earlier today and it passed this guy walking home from the university. He was on his cellphone, but other than being typical is not really important. The guy was wearing honest to God Capri pants. Capri pants and low-top Converse with no socks. And a bright red t-shirt. And he had one sassy little saunter too.

So...Capri pants on a man?

unless your name is Mary Tyler Moore

10. I live in capri pants in the summer
Most comfortable articles of clothing I own. I must add that I am over 6 feet tall, so just about everything off the rack ends up being capri length for me. LOL

*highwaters*.

And they went with matching Birth Control eyewear and
usually a festive pocket protector.

13. but

19. There was an episode where he was wearing low rise french jeans...
and everyone thought he was wearing women's jeans. That's why I think he'd wear capris.

17. on a man they are just high waters
Not acceptable, sorry.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

23. I'm sure there are a blessed few people who look good in...
lederhosen too. But, that's no reason to foist
them on my sensibilities via some sort of K-Martization
of them.

21. Hell, I don't even wear capris
(I'm 5'2", with short stubby legs, and capris make me look shorter/stubbier.)

I hate this trend, because it's impossible to find anything non-capri for summer.

It would be worse on men.

27. Are you sure you didn't pass by a shoot for International Male?
NO man I know would wear Capris. Hell, most women don't even look good in the things, you have to have sorta stork-like legs to pull the look off.

To say nothing of leg hair. That't gotta be charming- all that hair peeking out from under Capris, a guy'd look like a Clydesdale.

29. Yeah. Sure, why not?
If they have the legs for them, why not?

I've seen worse things on a man. :-)

31. We watched Alfie last night and in the special features
there is a segment about the music which was done by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart. Mick was schleppin around in some capris in some of the footage. It was a surprising look, but hey, it was Mick Jagger. There's a lot of looks he can get away with, and who am I to judge?

I hope I don't actually see it here in Plano, TX, though.

34. Sounds like something you could buy in "International Male".
In neon pastels.

Bleh.

37. Wear whatever
makes you happy and comfortable.

I'm a female, buy capri pants (I'm 4-11), capris fits like regular length pants for me. I save a lot of money having pants altered.

I really don't care what people think, if I am comfortable, I'm happy and free.

If a man wants to wear Capri's that is his preference, again, whatever makes you happy. I won't judge you.

39. Only Mary Tyler Moore should wear Capris
But if the guy had nice calves I'd be willing to stretch the point :)
