Hailey Bieber Wore Polarizing Polka-Dot Capris, So of Course I Had to Try Them

Hailey Bieber was spotted in Soho rocking Paloma Wool's Aneu capri-length leggings with a black fitted muscle tee, thong heeled sandals, '90s minimalist sunglasses, and a luxe mini leather shopper.

Keke Palmer took the stage at the 2025 Essence Festival in a metallic cutout halter bra, black fitted capris, and satin peep-toe platforms, proving the pant silhouette has the potential to play up stage costumes and street style outfits alike.

Kendall Jenner was spotted in Venice following the Bezos-Sánchez wedding of the summer in a chic travel outfit that included capris. Jenner's version featured a tiny slit for movement at the knees and she sported them with a V-neck tank and oversize brown travel bag for on-the-go vibes.

Asos Design Denim Capri in Mini Polka Dot ($43)

These Asos jeans help you get the look on a budget. I'm personally a fan of the structure denim provides (in comparison to leggings) and these have a flattering fit with a mid-rise waist and slitted hemline that comes right to the knee. Wear them with thong heeled sandals à la Bieber — mine are the Coach Thong Kitten Heel ($99, originally 178) — and a structural bag to lend visual interest. I opted for my Vivrelle rental du jour: the Jacquemus Rond Carré Shoulder Bag ($119 with a Classique membership).

Cider Knit Fabric Polka Dot Stretch Capri ($20-$33, originally $33)

If you're in the market for polka dot capris, Cider has you covered in a range of colors. Aside from classic black, these are also available in white, navy, red, and brown, and they fit like leggings so you can be sure they're movable. Team them with the matching Cider Knit Fabric Polka Dot Ruched Top ($26-$33, originally $33) to achieve a retro moment that's begging for a red lip.

Gap Mid Rise Pintuck Ponte Capri Pants (35, originally $50)

You can shop these mid-rise Gap pants in regular, tall, or petite lengths. They have an impressive 4.5 stars and customers say they're slimming and "summer dressy." The material is slightly stretchy and such that they can be dressed up or down. They have an elasticized waist with seams at the front — and the bonus is that they're machine-washable.

Abercrombie & Fitch Mid Rise Tailored Capri Pant ($40, originally $80)

If you're already on the capri pants bandwagon and now seeking a pair to wear to the office, look no further. These bestselling pants from A&F are half off and come in short, regular, and long length options. They've got a clean-pressed waistband and come in two neutral shades of black or gray — perfect for teaming with all your favorite button-downs and blouses.

Naked Wardrobe Capri Leggings ($48)

Described as "cropped" leggings, these capris are great for going out — hence the brand's choice to display them with skin-baring, cutting edge tops such as the Naked Wardrobe Side Twist Halter Top ($58) and Naked Wardrobe Drape Neck One-Shoulder Top ($27-$52, originally $52). Customers say they're lacking in the compression department and run slightly large, so size down for a tighter fit. If you're feeling really bold, you can also pick them up in chartreuse.

Good American Good Capri Jeans ($58, originally $119)

While these capris are crafted from denim, they're stretchy, so expect optimal comfort with a bit of structure. They're equipped with Good American's signature tummy-smoothing technology and a gap-proof waistband — perfect for flattering curves. They're available in sizes 2-20 on Nordstrom, but you can also click over to the brand's website where the range extends from 00-32 (though you may have to join the wait list).

Aritzia Original Contour Archetype Capri ($68)

These "second-skin" capri pants fit like leggings. They're high-waisted with double-layer fabric and come with the retailer's signature smoothing and contouring technology. You can shop them in Rich Mocha Brown, Dark Olive, or Black, and even complete them with the matching Aritzia Original Contour Bandeau Top ($28) for a full matching set under $100.

Levi's Wedgie Capri ($90)

When it comes to denim, you can never go wrong with Levi's. For under $100, these capris are a steal with ultimate Y2K vibes — the fading and light whiskering down the leg is intentional, and the tiny slit at the knee provides movement and a stylish touch all the same.

Free People Feeling Flirty Slim Capri Pant ($98)

These capris are the number two bestseller on Revolve's site, and they come in both navy and gray. The plaid combo print and dainty bow at the lace-crocheted trim make them retro-leaning, and they look great with a pair of flip-flops and a fitted or cropped shirt. Tip: play up the feminine flair with pouf sleeves.

Reformation Gusta Knit Cropped Pant ($98)

What makes these capris stand out is the piping down the back and front, lending an air of sophistication, as well as the tiny slits at the sides. Available in black and a neutral check, these are sleek, fitted, and made of deadstock fabric. Note: they do run large, so the brand recommends sizing down.
