Capri Pants for Men

I've been trying to find men's capris too. Women can adopt any men's style they wish but just let men try it. We'd like to be comfortable too. Perhaps men are afraid of compromising their machismo? I'll keep looking. In the meantime I'll just keep cutting pants off.

Thanks for writing! You make a good point about men and women's fashions--it is very easy for women to co-opt any style they wish, but much harder for men. Since capri pants are becoming ubiquitous, I expect we will start to see them for men on a regular basis.

Until then, enjoy your scissors and congratulations on not letting fashion retailers dictate your personal sense of style! :)

Last year, I was living in Sweden, and bought some capris for men (by Mexx). There are really light and comfortable. Now I'm back in the states, and am looking for something similar, without much success. Do you have any pointers? (I'd buy women's capris, but it's hard to find ones that fit right.

I haven't seen anyplace here that sells capri pants for men, though I think it sounds like a neat look with the right shoe. Have you tried shopping online, searching for "Mexx" on Google, or maybe trying e-Bay? Failing that, if you can find a pants in the right fabric (weight and style), you could have a tailor shorten them into capris for you. The caveat here is that the style of the pants needs to be right for tailoring them into capris to work--for example, dress pants are unlikely to work but a casual khaki with a wider leg cut could work.

I am beginning to think of this as the fashion question that would not die--so many people ask it!
