Capri pants. The sweat pants for the 21st Century?

Capri pants look horrendous. They are one of the worst fashions in the last decade. As a kid growing up totally clueless I never forget what other kids once asked about one pair of my pants. “Are those long shorts? Or short longs?” The point is if children can see how awful they look, why can’t you see it? Come on. Another half-baked fashion idea sold to the clueless masses. They look like 1920s golfing pants. They look like hand-me downs, from your older and shorter brother or sister and you’re so poor, you can’t afford to buy clothes that fit. They look like you don’t know how to do the laundry, and you cranked up the heat and shrunk them. They look like you are planning to wade in the water. It makes no difference if they are tight — or baggy — both are horrendous. No wonder they are called bitch pants.
