Capri Pants Are Quietly Trending Again Among Celebrities

Capri pants are trending again and now, celebrities are leaning into a high-waisted version. The capri pants trend began in the 1950s, with figures like Audrey Hepburn popularizing the trend. Earlier, styles were worn with a lower rise in later revivals. In 2026, it has evolved into a high-waisted version, often paired with structured outerwear like bomber jackets and heeled flip-flops.
