Question | As someone who spent much of my 20s wearing capri pants, I was surprised to see them back in the pages of fashion magazines. I had assumed we left this look back in the early 2000s with Paris Hilton – but am I wrong? And if I am, how are you meant to wear these oddly cropped pants? – Ankle Biter
