Capri Pants

Capri Pants Defined
   Capri pants are a leg covering with a waistline at about the navel and a legline at the calf. As such, capri pants are part of a continuum from slacks to pantaloons, and beyond. Unfortunately the defining characteristic of the legline cannot be seen in this illustration.

The Revelation of Calf
   Like slacks, capri pants play a role in the early evolution of the swimsuit.... And like other leg coverings they continue to combine, often in playful ways, with a variety of bikini tops in a variety of bikini locations--for example they are spotted worn overtop maillots at topless beach locations (SM8813, SM8852).

   The defining characteristic of capri pants is a legline at the calf. Capri pants represent a point in-between slacks and pantaloons.
