Similarly to how I felt about flip-flops, I was a capri skeptic for years—until I decided to just try a pair one day last spring. Very quickly, they became one of my most-worn items. I found myself reaching for them for errands and long walks when I wanted something that looked polished but still had stretch and movement. They’re comfortable and easy and somehow still feel put-together.

If you’re shopping for a pair for the first time, here’s what I’ve found: If you’re shorter, tighter capris that hit right below the knee tend to look best. If you’re taller, look for a pair that flares slightly and hits lower on the calf.
