If you need any more proof that the early aughts are back, let me direct your attention to Gen-Z’s latest obsession: capri pants. For years, capri pants have been one of the most polarizing trends when it comes to transitional dressing between the seasons. Falling somewhere on the spectrum between leggings and trousers, they’ve usually been thought of as awkward or difficult to style. The return of cropped, calf-grazing silhouettes fits seamlessly into the ongoing Y2K-inspired revival. Whether styled with ballet flats, kitten heels, or sleek sneakers, capris are proving they deserve a second chance in everyone’s wardrobe. Even celebs like Renée Zellweger and Kendall Jenner have taken part in the divisive trend.

With spring’s return in just a few days (!!), I’ve decided to embrace the capri pants comeback by curating some of my favorite styles. From sporty lounge options to elevated knit silhouettes, today’s capris are more versatile (and stylish) than their early 2000s predecessors. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into the trend or fully committing, there’s a version for every aesthetic. Below, shop the best capri pants to ease into the look this spring.
