Jeans Denim

Let your style and swagger shine through with a brand new pair of capris denim pants.  Capris are a style of pants that are mostly worn in the summer months or warmer months.  This is true because they are characterized as long shorts that are usually cut to come to the knees of the wearer.  I say usually because they are also frequently worn as high-waters.

Although, in the states capris jeans are mostly worn by women they are beginning to cross over to the men.  In some countries capris are more popular to men than women and make up a majority of their wardrobe.  This is especially true in European and Latin societies.

As a little history, the Capris pants style was first introduced by a European fashion designer, Sonja de Lennart back in 1948.  At this time the style was mostly only worn by the people of European background.

It was not until the 1960's that the style made it to North America.  Largely due to American TV shows like the Dick Van Dyke Show Capris became very popular to adults and children looking for a style that would allow them to cool off and also look and feel cool.

The popular trend was set off by a controversy of the character of Laura Petrie who wore snug-fitting capri pants during the show's run.  Since then the pants have become a hit and have reemerged as top sellers in the 2000's.
