Capri pants are the latest thing in fashion over the last 2 years. You can think of capris as shorter pants or longer shorts. They are typically worn in warm weather like the spring or summer. Most people where capris when they are embarrassed to wear shorts or want to look professional but they don’t want to wear pants.

Did you know? The pants’ name originated from the Italian isle of Capri, where they were first made popular in the late fifties and early sixties.

The great thing about capris is that they are fashionable and at the same time they are comfortable. This is a great combination especially out on the golf course. Bogner, Masters Golf Fashion - The Choice to Win, EP Pro, Escada, Lilly Pulitzer, Marie Valois, Sportalm, St. John Sport, and Tail all carry Capri pants in their collections. They all carry something a little different for example EP Pro sports a floral collection for their capris. Bogner has a great cargo Capri which has many different pockets for storage of a cell phone, keys, and extra golf balls. Sportalm’s collection is very cute and feminine for the younger lady golfer.

Another name that you sometimes here capris called are pedal pushers. Pedal pushers originated from the type of pants being worn by cyclists back in the 1950’s.

Whether you call them pedal pushers or Capri pants, they are a great staple to have in your wardrobe and are a great fashion statement.
