What to pair them with?
Here’s the thing about capris - they go with pretty much everything in your wardrobe (and we mean everything). Knitwear, boxy tees, fitted jackets, layered basics… all of it works.
For an easy off-duty look, pair a denim capri with your favourite graphic baby tee and some ballet flats. Want something sleeker? Layer up some basic vests with black capri leggings and add a kitten heel.
Urban Outfitters stylist Nicole says, “Pair with your fave graphic baby tee and some ballet flats, or for a sleeker style layer some basic vests and pair with some black capris and a kitten heel”.
Go oversized on top
Capris are cropped at the leg which means they can handle serious volume everywhere else. From oversized graphic tees to slouchy knits and open shirts - it all works. Let the capri be the grounding piece and build your fit up from there.
Nicole says, “Capris are so versatile and perfect for the warmer months and transitional seasons. They pair so well with both baggier or more form fitting top options - from knitwear to fitted jackets”.
How To Style Capri Pants
Capri trousers are back again, and this time they’re standing on business. Cropped at the calf, easy to style and somehow the answer to every fit dilemma you didn’t know you had - the capri is the silhouette of the season. Whether you’re new to them or you’ve been loyal since day one, we caught up with our Urban Outfitters styling expert, Nicole, for advice on how to wear them the UO way.
Dress them up, dress them down
Capris pants move effortlessly from day to night. Take your pair from a morning coffee with mates to an impromptu evening out by adding a fitted jacket - the Silence + Noise Ara Fitted Jacket or the Silence + Noise Lyn Check Pea Jacket Blouse with a crisp white vest underneath are both perfect here. Finish with a mule, kitten heel or a black ballet flat and you’re sorted. No outfit change required, no stress.
Nicole says, “Perfect for taking day to night - just switch the ballet flat for a kitten heel and you’re there”.
Festival season: sorted
Um yes, the capris go to festivals too. Team them with your favourite bikini top for an easy warm-weather look that lasts all day and is cool enough to keep up with you through every set (and sunset).

Stylist picks
Our UO stylists have two firm favourites right now, and honestly we’re just as obsessed with either.
First up: the Silence + Noise Cupro Pantaloon Capri Trousers. A flattering silhouette in a soft, slinky fabric that makes them just as comfortable as they are stylish.
Nicole says, “Such a flattering silhouette and ultra comfy due to the soft and slinky fabric. Easy to style with your favourite off-shoulder top for a relaxed but put together vibe”.
Then there's the BDG Cyris Capri Jeans. Honestly, the all rounder you didn’t know you needed. Think of it as your favourite pair of jeans or last summer’s jorts, but better. Pair them with everything and anything. Seriously, anything…
