Cool ways to style yoga capri pants

Yoga is a great way to stay fit and healthy. But what you wear when practicing yoga is just as important as the poses you do. When it comes to choosing between crop or capri, there are a few things to consider to find the most flattering style for your body type.


Capri pants etymology

First of all, let’s take a look at the length of the pants. Both the capri and the cropped pants are shorter than the usual trousers, and capri pants are shorter than cropped.


So, the cute pants that took their name from the Italian island Capri during the 40s, usually end under the knee and somewhere between the calves. On the other hand, crop or cropped pants rise just above the ankle.


What is more flattering?

I read multiple articles and blog posts about crop and capris yoga pants and what is more flattering. Most of them consider that crop pants are the most flattering because they stop in the slimmer part of the leg, the ankle. While capri pants are totally unflattering because they “cut off” our legs in the wider parts of our legs. Thus, they make our legs look shorter, wider, and ugly.

But I’m quite skeptical when I read all this stuff for one main reason. The goddess of elegance and style Audrey Hepburn made them popular in the 50s and 60s. And, of course, there is such a variety of capri pants designs that is impossible to say that all are unflattering.


Design, fabric, color, and body type play a major role in it. From my own experience, I really find them cute and ideal for spring and summer. Plus, yoga pants should be other more important characteristics like high-quality fabric, elasticity, etc.


As for how flattering they are, a straight leg or a bit wide cut that doesn’t get too stuck on the body looks always better on non-athletic body types.

How to style yoga capri pants

When it comes to the question of how to style yoga capri pants, the answer is one. You can wear them with any top you like. Crop top, cami top, long sleeve top, sports bra, or tee as long as it stops in your waistline.

Wearing capri pants with a long T-shirt or blouse will definitely make you look shorter and frumpy. Thus, it’s better to tuck your tee inside or just make a cute knot to keep it near your waistline.
