Hailey Bieber has spoken: It’s time to learn what to wear with capri leggings. According to basically every celebrity and It girl, the nostalgic bottoms are shaping up to be the cool-girl staple of the summer. Unlike baggy Bermuda shorts (their more structured counterparts), capri pants can feel just as casual as they do elevated—it all depends on where you’re going and what you wear with them. (Can regular black leggings say that?)
Capris are a lesson in versatility. As you’ll soon learn, they can pair with almost every top and accessory in your closet, from tank tops and suit jackets to casual sneakers and skinny belts. They can go office-appropriate with a sculpted blazer, laid-back with a relaxed tee, or summery with a crop top and sandals. Here’s what to wear with capri leggings for summer 2026.
