Capri leggings: The controversial trouser length celebrates its comeback in summer 2025

Capri leggings: Five styling ideas for these trendy pants in summer 2025.

Last fall 2024, The Row gave the pants its seal of approval when designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen presented a tailored style featuring a baby blue shirt neatly tucked into a red V-neck sweater, over semi-sheer tights and heeled sandals for Look 17. Most recently, capri pants appeared in colorful stripes and tweed at Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2025 show and Chanel's Resort 2026 presentation, where they took on a looser, more culotte-like shape.

Capri leggings are rumored to be a staple in celebrities' wardrobes, too— Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid were spotted wearing their black pairs this spring while out and about in their respective neighborhoods.

Bieber gave Miu Miu's sporty spring/summer collection a remarkable reinterpretation by pairing her trousers with barely-there flip-flops and a cropped anorak jacket, while Hadid gave her capri pants an evening-ready touch by pairing them with a backless cowl-neck top and a burgundy crossbody bag.

Five looks that are perfect for the summer heat and show off capri pants at their best – elegant, effortless, and always with a touch of Audrey in mind.

#1 Pure minimalism

A lace-trimmed camisole top , a sporty blouson jacket, and red heeled sandals add just the right amount of excitement to black capri pants. A Le Sundial pendant necklace and a woven bag are two perfect accessories for the moment.

#2 A relaxed weekend look

Enjoy a relaxed weekend with casual basics like the perfect white T-shirt , Massimo Dutti's cropped cotton trench coat, and Dries Van Noten's suede-trimmed sneakers. Tory Burch reinterprets the woven tote with this leather shopper, ideal for carrying fresh groceries.

#3 Chic for the evening

Jazz up capri pants with kitten heels and a little black jacket—we love the idea of ​​layering Carven's peplum top under Veronica De Piante's cropped jacket for a sophisticated day-to-evening look. A single pair of long earrings and an embellished clutch add a touch of drama.

#4 A sunny summer day

With an oversized linen blouse, a little bikini top, and crisp white capri pants, you're perfectly dressed for summer in the city. Complete the look with a pair of flip-flops for a relaxed (but still chic) ​​Sunday in the park.

#5 Sporty Chic

Show up to your next reformer class in a look that will turn heads: sneaker ballet flats , a striped polo shirt, and a lightweight hoodie. Sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen invite a makeup-free morning.
