Fashion Statement or Fashion Faux Pas

Here is an article about how capris are a fashion statement. It is from 2000, but I think the information is still relevant. I hope you enjoy it.

However, there are always people who are going to think that capris are a fashion faux pas. I never understood this about some people. When it was embarrassing to be wearing highwaters, they would be wearing highwaters and look like they were waiting for a flood. Those people now won't got near a pair of capri pants. In style or not in style, I like to look like I'm waiting for a flood.

I just have to wonder, could I get away with wearing highwaters when capri pants aren't in style? Maybe nobody said anything to me because they are so used to seeing women wearing capri pants that they didn't think anything of a man in capris. Maybe it is high time that men starting wearing capris, too. After all, they do show off the shoes and they do have a purpose of keeping the wearer from getting too hot or too cold. Maybe someday soon, I shall wear a pair of capris in public again. I can't wait to hear the reactions. I will be very disappointed if nobody comes up to me and asks me if I'm "waiting for a flood" or "why are you wearing highwaters?"
