The Early 2000s Pant Trend Making a Comeback for Spring 2025

Capris can do so much for a look

The whole appeal of reviving Y2K trends is finding ways to make them feel fresh for the contemporary season. For instance, slim fitting, black capris add a feminine balance to an oversized, ivory men’s shirt. Cinch the waist with a belt to create a defined silhouette, and polish it off with a pair of minimal kitten heeled sandals. If the outfit needs a little sex appeal, pair capris with a bralette top and an open blazer. 

A draw for capris are their varied textures, and since they’re trending so hard again, these are plentiful and easy to source. Denim capris, like Sidefeel Women’s Wide Leg Capri pants now come in wider lengths that allow for more breathing room, while adding a little western charm to your wardrobe. Athletic leisure has also jumped on the capri train, so stretchy, comfortable options are a breeze to find, like Yogipace 20 inch Cropped Kick Flare Yoga Pant. Sheer, lace capris, like Faithtur Women’s Lace Capris are another gorgeous — if somewhat more daring — choice that would make for a great outfit to wear to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour. And don’t forget about gingham capris; the cute fabric sets the scene for a spring picnic. While styling choices tend to lean towards pairing capris with heels, like a statement heeled mule, they also play well with flats. Ballet flats pay homage to the Audrey Hepburn aesthetic, but a pair of mesh Mary Jane flats look equally charming.
