PANT-TASTIC Fashion editors share how to style the 2000's Capri pants trend that's having a resurgence FASHION tends to be circular, with trends from the past constantly making a comeback. And the latest trend to reappear is Capri pants. Advertisement Or some may call them pedal-pushers. According to Google, searches for the trousers have risen by 52% recently. Plus, with celebrities such as Sabrina Carpenter and Bella Hadid loving the look, they seem to be on everyone's radar. But how should you wear these throwback trousers today? Advertisement Take a look below at how our Fabulous Fashion Team have styled theirs. Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 4 A pop of red in an accessory is a great way to amp up an otherwise neutral outfit Credit: I was lucky enough to dodge this trend as a kid, so I'm blissfully free of any nostalgic fashion regrets when it comes to Capri pants! I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try this printed pair from Albaray, and I love the way they look. Advertisement The slits at the bottom of the legs stop them from feeling too tight and the reasonably high waistline is a style I'd usually go for on other types of shorts - if you are hesitant to try the trend (as I was) then I can totally recommend this style. I've paired them with a basic white tank top, a linen bomber jacket from Next and a red bag to add a pop of colour. Plus, these black shades finish off this girl-about-town look nicely. Clemmie Fieldsend, 34, Fashion Editor 4 Clemmie's monochrome look includes £15 Capri pants from your local supermarket Credit: Advertisement Aside from having traumatic flashbacks to me skipping around the living room in a denim pair of pedal-pushers, pretending I was in B*Witched, the other image that comes to mind when I think of capris is Audrey Hepburn. Audrey loved a pair and would wear them with white on top or all-black, so with that in mind I'll be channelling her, but with a few modern adjustments. Her go-to was a boat neck, so I'd wear this linen top for hot days with a looser fit and bow detailing at the back, paired with these amazing Capri pants from George - such a good price and so stylish. A tailored fit is more me, and makes me feel less like a seven year old in stretchy styles from my youth. Advertisement I've swapped traditional ballet pumps for these must-have woven ones from M&S, and a straw bag for summer which is small because it's from the kids' section - but with just a phone and house keys, what more do I need? For chilly evenings, I'll slip on this Reiss jacket that I've had for two years now and finish off with black sunglasses, synonymous with Audrey's timeless image. Tracey Lea Sayer, 53, Fashion Director 4 Tracey is still loving suede for spring in the form of accessories Credit: I lived in Capri pants in my teens, which is probably why I want to run for the hills now! Advertisement No matter how I try to style them, they just keep on taking me straight back to the '80s, and not in a good way! On the plus side, my knees are getting wrinklier every year, so I feel like my beloved short suits are on borrowed time. I have gone minimal for a change with this look - the exact opposite of the fluorescent graffiti Capri pants I wore way back when my hair was backcombed and my go-to drink was a Pernod and black! This time around, I am sticking to clean lines and a minimal palette softened up with a slouchy suede bag and pointy suede mules. Advertisement I have added a big pendant as a point of interest. Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 4 Abby has found the perfect Capri-pant co-ord Credit: Capri pants weren't really on my fashion radar until I spotted this set from Nobody's Child. I love the check pattern and think the co-ord is super-cute for summer. Advertisement I'm fairly petite at 5ft 4in and think they suit my height and shape quite well. You only have to look at the likes of Sabrina Carpenter to see how fun Capri pants can be. Pairing mine with a raffia clutch, some red flatforms, a neck scarf and some gold jewellery, I feel as if I'm about to hit the Italian Riviera!
