There ought to be a law prohibiting women over forty from wearing Capri pants. While Capri pants are “cute” on younger women, they look dorky on older women. And I blame Martha Stewart for the reemergence of this fashion trend in older women.

When an older woman wears Capri pants, she is making a fashion statement. She is saying that she still doesn’t know how to buy clothes that fit. Plus, there is nothing pretty about showing off those blue veins in her ankles.

I put Capri pants in the same category as Leisure Suits. Not only should they go away permanently, they should never have happened in the first place.  Where are the fashion police when you need them?
