Spring Capri Pants For Women From Aventura

Capri length cargo pants are a must pack for every trip I take in the shoulder seasons - spring and fall. I like lots of pockets. I like having something that's lighter than a pair of jeans but is not a pair of shorts. I like being comfortable and casual without looking like I'm in my jammies. And I like the length, as my travel wardrobe leans towards the modest side for most destinations.

Aventura's Arden Organic Cotton Capris almost fit the bill. I wanted those cargo pockets on the side - that's where I like to put my phone. That's the ONLY thing I want. Beyond the additional pockets, I really like these pants.

I won't wear the zip off convertible trousers that some travelers favor. They're just too dorky for me, and that's saying something given my level of dorkiness. But I do like roll ups with tabs or ties to hold the cuffs in place. They're great for beach combing or sunny days. Aventura's capris have roll up cuffs and button-in-place tabs. The buttons are sewn on to ribbon detailing that runs down the leg. I like both the look and the fact that they're reinforced.

The fit on these is just about perfect, and that's a thrill for someone who's short but hardly skinny. They're low rise and there's a wide flat waist that sits just right. The pants are a good cut - flat front, straight in the leg but not too narrow for a person who like cookies. There are button-flap pockets in back and flat pockets in front. On me, they're a little long, but again, they roll up so they can be adjusted to the right length.

Fashion mavens are not going to make any bold trendsetting statements in these pants, but my travel wardrobe tends towards practical and comfortable. The pants come in six colors including white (is it after Labor Day yet?) and they feel soft and wearable right out of the box. They hold their size after washing, too.

I don't know about you, ladies, but I have a terrible time finding pants that fit. Because the cut is so great, I'm tempted to throw a bunch of their other styles into my virtual shopping cart. Your mileage may vary, of course, as fit is purely subjective (plus, I tried on one of their dresses and oh, it did not work at all on me). That said, the Arden Capris totally fill my need for casual, lightweight, and versatile clothing for spring travel and I'll likely be packing them well into fall. They're $72 directly from Aventura.Spring Capri Pants For Women From Aventura originally appeared on Gadling on Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:00:00 EST.
