    This will sound snarky - because it is! I think capris are perfect if you want to look shorter and heavier. That being said, they may be more flattering than shorts, which look good on hardly anyone.
    Of course I am not exactly the ultimate fashionista in my vast collection of Vista Camp Pants, lol.

    While I definitely don't wear them often at all (only have two pair), I like capris for those occasions when shorts are too informal, but long pants are too hot/uncomfortable. (I will add a side note that I do NOT wear dresses/sundresses/etc.) LOL.

    I pretty much only wear capris in the summer because shorts are too short at my age and they are cool and comfortable. I figure they look better and feel better than the other two lengths.

    I wear capris (a term which I often forget and call them clam diggers and/or pedal pushers - proving my ever advancing age, lol) all summer. I am short and fat, and no doubt look shorter and fatter in them. And I don't care. Because, HOT. I won't wear shorts in public, because they don't protect my legs from whatever I sit on. AND they look worse than capris. If I could find some inexpensive thin, cool, knit or woven cotton or linen pants with an elastic waist and pockets, I might stick with long pants, but until then - capris it is! I won't wear skirts or dresses on general principal. So I say be comfy and looks be damned!

    I am short and plus sizes. Pants from Talbots plus petite are always the right length. But be had some luck with Jockey leggings from Amazon being the correct length. Otherwise, cropped/ankle pants are often longer on me, but hit the sweet spot. I’ve got theee pairs of loose cropped pants that end up being just a bit above my ankles that are great for the summer.

    I agree. I have very long legs and wear capris that just cover my knees. They look much better than shorts. I agree that very few look good in shorts. Those that do wear shorts must not look in the mirror?
