Dawn 2.0 Underway

[Miss B]

Here ,i find them online. Except my don't have the caro patch on the backside. (Even the shoes are almost the same )

Yes, those are nice, but when I think of Capris, I think of pants that are a bit shorter. The 7/8 pants are "almost" down to the ankle bone, so "almost" full length.

You actually made me go looking for Capri pant jeans. Thing is, and I, being male, did not know this, found that this pants vary in length and style.

 

[eclark1894]

You know, these actually look more like long shorts to me than capri pants.

 

[Miss B]

To me, long shorts (e.g., Bermuda Shorts) come down to just above the knee, not below it.

The fourth image on the right in your previous post, to me, looks like Capri length pants.

Yes it seems they do. I think it's what ladies get used to. It's been more decades, than I'd like to admit to, since I've shopped for Capri length pants, and as we all know, clothing styles change constantly.

That first one would be a Pedal Pusher (originally designed for cyclists who couldn’t pedal in anything that fell far below the knee, these pants are too long to be Bermuda shorts and too short to be cropped pants).
Capris traditionally were the widest part of the calf but this is unflattering so most now end where the leg narrows (usually a couple of inches above the ankle bone). Cropped pants and jeans fall anywhere between the middle of the calf to the ankle so that would be what category Capris would fall into (so many people have a different idea of what Capris are which is why you'll find it hard to find them the same length).

 

[eclark1894]

When men wear them, they're called "high waters".

I don't know if I like a crease in a pair of Capris. I think of more formal wear when I think of creases in the pant legs, like a good suit you'd wear to work.

Agreed. Might be a throw away morph, but I think I'll finish it out first anyway. Capris by nature seem casual, but if we do use this formal morph, remember, it's just that, a morph.

 

[Miss B]

Not a bad idea though, as there are folks who won't agree with us, and would want to add the crease.

 

[JOdel]

My mother would have definitely wanted to add the crease. But then, she lived with a husband who wanted his work clothes starched with creases.

Were called clam diggers when I was a kid! Ah!!!! Good ole days!

I don't think I've ever heard of them referred to as clam diggers up here in NY, but I can picture in my mind why they might be called clam diggers.

 

[RAMWolff]

Oh GOD, being from Florida originally I heard about clam diggers my whole young childhood life!

PAW, put on yer clam diggers, let's go fishing for some supper!

 

[Miss B]

Then it must be something "southerners" are familiar with.

As a "northener" I hadn't heard of it before, though it wasn't hard to figure out the reference.

 

[JOdel]

I've heard of clam diggers. But then I live on the edge of the continent.

They were generally looser than capri pants.

Well, I grew up in Upstate NY and when it was in style around the time of beack party bingo, Annette Funnicello etc. they were calle Clam Diggers.
I had several pairs and loved the summer so I could wear them but because a boy's body grows quickly and fashions change even quicker what was in fashion one year was out the next.

 

[Rae134]

I've never heard of them called that before so I just looked it up and its an American term for 3/4 pants (or people who dig for clams lol) which is prob why I hadn't heard of it my being and Aussie

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Being an avid reader, I encountered the term Clam Diggers ages ago when I was a wee one.

That's definitely one of the benefits of reading a lot ... you expand your vocabulary far beyond what you hear where you live.

 

[DanaTA]

I remember both terms, clam diggers and peddal pushers. The latter was more in use when I was young. I, of course, didn't wear them...they were for girls. I guess boys could get their pants stuck in the gears or chain peddling their bikes and that was OK. Never really happened to me, though. Shoe laces, though, sometimes got caught on the pedal.

Chain guards. Always had chain guards on my bikes for just that reason. Never had a problem like that.
