Little wording error there, If someone who knows what they are talking about could change it it would be great.

[edit] Nicknames

I've removed those nicknames. Unless someone can show me that those are the two most popular nicknames I don't see why only those two ought to be mentioned. In addition, I've never heard either of them which I why I'm so skeptical. What's the Wikipedia policy on including nicknames? 68.173.5.219 07:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


Can we get a hotter picture of a woman wearing Capri pants? Seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.165.227.226 (talk) 10:29, February 21, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capris vs. crop pants

This article seems to confuse or conflate two different styles of pants. The classic capri style, shown on the picture of the young girl I just found and uploaded, is the tight fit and cut just below the knee.[1] The more recent one, the one referred to as being worn by both men and women, the loose-fitting mid-calf cut, I have regularly heard referred to as "crop pants".[2]. I personally think the latter merits a separate article. But maybe we should just discuss the confusion here. Daniel Case 03:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of term "silhouette's moniker"

The term "silhouette's moniker" is lifted from the cotton industry's web site. See [3] The map of Capri doesn't look like a pair of pants. What is a silhouette's moniker? Anthony717 17:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wrong picture

moved from article space to talk page. comment added by 85.2.150.224 Joyous! | Talk 13:45, 8 July 2007 (UTC) those, on the picture, are not at all capri-pants! for real capri pants you should look at the picture of jaqueline kennedy or audrey hepburn having vacation in Capri, Italy. capri pants are always ironed in a pleat in the middle of the front and the middle of the back - they are 3/4 lenght (the one in the picture are too short!) - high waist and little "spacchi" (opening) on the side of the hem.

Please clean up this article by adding proper citations. It reeks too much of original research and editors' opinions as written. Alvis 07:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
