Why I Hate Capris (and What to Wear Instead)

We Deserve Better Than Capris

Why I Hate Capris (and What to Wear Instead)

I want to be clear: I don’t care what you wear. 

But I can tell you that after dressing thousands of women, I know my stuff, and if you’ve ever tried on a pair of capris and wondered why they look terrible, there are reasons. 

Before We Dive In

I spent the first half of my career before becoming a personal stylist and running The Well Dressed Life in corporate retail as a buyer. 

My first buying job out of college was at Charming Shoppes, the parent company of stores like Catherine’s and the now-closed Fashion Bug.

I worked as an assistant-to-the-assistant buyer in the bottoms department.

I became a buyer for a small high-end boutique and eventually landed at QVC before starting my company. 

But it was at Charming that, despite it being my least glamorous gig, I learned about garment construction. 

Our department focused on casual fabrics, including denim and twill. We sourced merchandise from manufacturers and also produced items in-house.

Before approving final runs, we had to check the fit of production samples to make sure they met quality standards.
