Y2K’s strong resurgence has revived a lot of fashion trends from the brink of death, but this is one we didn’t quite expect. Whether you like it or not, capri pants are back. However, rather than living in the past, their modern styles and silhouettes are much more flattering than their early relatives.

When Balenciaga creative director Demna debuted a stripped-back Fall 2023 ready-to-wear collection, it signaled that his focus on design and shape was more important than the frills of overstated concepts. Meaning the clothes, and only the clothes, were the most essential thing in the room. As part of this collection, three looks underscored the capri renaissance in the form of suiting. Rather than the traditional 2000s cargo styles we remember, this was a call-to-action that not only were capris back, but how we style them in our everyday has completely shifted.

When indulging in this trend, think about styling with a sophisticated lense. Pair them with a blazer for the ultimate business look, or a pressed white button-up and leather jacket for an edgy Sandy Olsson vibe. Whether dressing up or down, there’s a capri style for every closet.
