Dear Capri Pants:


Why do you hate women?

Aren't things difficult enough without you? Some of "us" are still occupied with scrunchies, mom-job jeans, and carpool sweatsuits. I do not even need to mention those curious shirts made of synthetics that conveniently decompress into tiny, puckered poly-balls.

Yes, you're right. You were for a time an answer for those who used to fold and roll. And, for that sweet, sweet gift, we will always remember you. But now, like those gone before you: Members Only, leg warmers, mesh, and the singular glove phenomenon. You're time must come to an end.

I don't care if you can change - denim, floral, sport, zip-up, tie-waist, elastic, or suit pant. It's all too much or perhaps precisely not enough. You never really give me what I need ---full length. I have enough problems without you taking me from a 30 inch inseam to a 16.

Many of us may do not even know how bad you are for us. Toxic really. One thing is for sure - YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF OUR LIVES FOREVER.

No, there is nothing that makes you look better on me, not a heel, a boot, or a flop. And you are an immediate bust with a sock.

You've tried. But our time is done. Maybe we can see each other over some lonely stir fry, and have an old romp. But I am officially over you.

LYLAS,

c.
