If you want to appear wealthy in Capri leggings this summer, simply pair them with these items.
Listen. I have been unsure about wearing capri leggings since their resurgence last summer. The trend always seemed a bit “dated” and overly casual for my taste, and many in the fashion world shared similar feelings but have since started to embrace capri leggings. Notably, Kylie and Kendall Jenner frequently wear them, and Tessa Thompson is the latest stylish celebrity to support the trend. Thompson's take on capri leggings was anything but outmoded. In reality, she appeared incredibly current, and the items she paired with them gave the leggings a particularly upscale look. She combined them with just two simple pieces that made a significant impact: a white button-down shirt and pointed-toe mules. Her only accessory was a beaded pendant necklace from Tory Burch. These minimal yet stylish pieces transformed her capri leggings into an outfit suitable for an event. If she had styled her capris with any other top or shoes, like a t-shirt and sneakers for instance, she wouldn’t have looked as refined. This look persuaded me that capri leggings can indeed look luxurious and sophisticated. If you need further persuasion, keep scrolling to recreate Thompson's look and shop for more capri leggings, button-downs, and pointed-toe mules.
