What to Wear with Capri Leggings in Summer (6 Outfit Ideas)
Short answer: Pair capri leggings with a loose, lightweight top, flat sandals or canvas sneakers, and one easy layer for air conditioning. Keep the top half relaxed and the shoes simple so the leggings do the work.
Capri leggings are an easy summer basic, and the outfits below are simple enough to put together in five minutes. One honest note: the photos on several of our capri-named listings show a full-length, ankle fit, so check the length and the size chart before you order. Every idea here works whichever length you end up with.
Crisp white tee, canvas sneakers and a straw tote
Start with our Capri Tummy Control Leggings for Women Over 50. The photos show a dark gray seamless knit with a wide, high waistband and a scrunch seam at the back. Tuck in a plain white tee, add white canvas sneakers, and carry a straw tote with sunglasses on top. It is a good outfit for errands or a lunch out. The listing photo shows a full-length fit, so look at the size chart for the length you want.

See the dressBalance the fit with a looser top
Capri leggings fit close, so a relaxed top keeps the outfit comfortable and balanced. Choose tees, tanks or shirts that skim your hips rather than cling. Cotton and other breathable fabrics feel better in heat. Our leggings are a stretchy knit, so check each listing for fabric details. If you like a tucked look, tuck only the front. Add a hat or sunglasses for sun, and keep jewelry light.
Check length and size before you order
Because the photos on several capri-named listings show a longer, ankle fit, read the listing and size chart carefully. Measure your waist, hips and inseam, and compare them to the chart. Shipping to the US is free and takes 7 to 14 business days. All sales are final, so fit is worth a few extra minutes. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, we replace or refund it within 14 days of delivery.
