It’s the year of jorts and capris! These pieces were extremely popular in the 1990s and 2000s, and now they are making a comeback. Here in Nigeria, it’s summer all year round, so having these two go-to pieces in your wardrobe is a must for comfortable, casual outings.

 

Now, while both are great for warm weather, jorts and capris are actually quite different and can even be thought of as the opposite of each other. Jorts are your classic denim shorts, usually with a relaxed, loose fit. Capri pants, on the other hand, are typically made from stretchy fabrics and fit a bit more tightly.

Styling jorts is easy because they are usually oversized. If you want a cool, baggy look, just throw on an oversized shirt or top. If you prefer to add a bit more shape, a fitted tank top works perfectly to balance out the proportions.

Capris really shine when you pair them with a tank top or a crop top. You can wear them with an oversized shirt, but that often gives off a very athletic vibe. The best part about capris is how they show off your figure, so don’t be shy about it!

Both jorts and capris are absolutely essential for your sunny-day style.
