Question #1: What are your opinions on men’s capris?
2: If your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/etc tells you that they don’t like a garment, are you obligated to bow to his/her preferences? I really want to buy some capris for work, but Anagramless Guy hates them on men.
Duuuuuude! No way are capris for men! No way! I think they look stupid on most women.
Swampy should be along shortly to tell you he agrees, I’m sure.
Honestly, you should wear what makes you happy and not “bow” to you SO’s wishes regarding your clothing. However, I have to be honest and say capris are a major no no. Just sayin…you know I still likes ya!
Just like women’s capris, it depends on the person. I’ve seen some that look great, and others that looked horrible.
I would only stop wearing something if my husband absolutely hated it, or if he were embarrassed by it. So far, that hasn’t happened. OTOH, he is so clueless about what looks good/bad on him, that if I tell him to never wear something again, he won’t.
Capris … on a man? You are a brave little bear.
As a general rule, I veto the male capri. On females, lobsterfinders (clamdiggers) and capris and whateverinthefuckitisyouguyshaveinthewayofshortpants look good on some gals and not as good on others. Listen to your body. Wear what works for ya.
If you wanna rock the capri, go on with your bad self. You better give us a picture for blackmail, though.
Bah, forgot part 2.
Who cares what the siggie says? They’re not wearing it, are they? Oh, you can take it into account, but it’s your call in the end.
I’d wear whatever in the hell I wanna wear.
Good God! First, they come up with man-purses, now capris for men. What the hell’s next, wearing lipstick and smoking Virginia Slims?

No man should ever wear Laura Petrie pants. This should be the final word on this people! No man capris, ever!
Manpris are just wrong on anyone.
I am well and truly oogied by that tremorviolet. :eek: I blame you for the nightmares I’m gonna have.
Oh. Hell. No!
See?! I told you that Swampy would be along to square you away, cb.
Manpris? Not unless you want to look like this guy.
Some capris look good on SOME people. I’m short, and most make me look like a pirate. Except for these one white pair I have that are slightly flared at the bottom. Sounds ridiculous, but they actually look really good on me.
Guin you say that as if looking like a pirate is a bad thing.
NO! NO! NO! to the manpris donkeybear! Just don’t. Just say no. Let’s let this fashion faux pas die the horrible death it deserves.
Oh and as to the SO approving or disapproving of the ensemble, I have a SO who covets my shirts, so I get no disapproval of my fashion choices. I do, however, have to keep a close watch on my shirts.
You can always tell people you’re a priestess of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Manpris might be ok, if they’re camo print and you’re a 20something dude in a rock band. Other than that, forget it.
I have to say that some of the examples posted just look live Very Long Shorts. I seem to recall Capris being cut to accentuate the calf, etc…more contoured. I think if a fellow makes it very clear that they’re Very Long Shorts, not Capris, he might be able to keep his Man Card. But he can’t talk about it too much, either; that’s a definite forfeiture there.

Oh My God! I’ve just talked about a fashion detail! I might as well just go join the Ladies Auxillary!

The fashion conscious man will wear capris only if he accessorizes with espadrilles, purse, lipstick and lip gloss.
2)If she uses the phrase “You look sexy in…” you bet I follow her advice. I’m a chump like that.
