Finding a pair of pants that seems very new and, dare we say, enjoyable can be hard when it comes to fashion trends. T-shirts, skirts, and knits often have fun prints and shapes, while pants tend to stay in a cycle of black, navy, and neutral colors. But this season, that’s finally changing, and the gingham capri pants trend is the first sign of that transition.
Gingham capris pants, which stop at or just below the knees, are a new style that builds on the broader capri pants trend that has been growing for the past few seasons. These pants are made of a fun gingham fabric that gives them a summery feel. The print comes back every summer in the form of attractive dresses and blouses.
Gingham capris are swiftly becoming the new favorite pants of fashionistas since they have a classic look and a flirtatious shape. These cropped pants are inspired by the polished but fun styles of the 1950s. They add a retro touch to current outfits and are a romantic alternative to more classic cuts. The pants come from Capri, which is known for its Italian elegance. When I see them in a gingham pattern, I picture an Italian woman who only wears Gucci and Prada bags.
It’s not shocking that brands have figured it out. This season, brands like Damson Madder (whose gingham capri pants are a favorite of the Who What Wear UK crew), Reformation, and Nobody’s Child are all putting their own spin on this fun garment.
