Do y'all think colored cafe capris are appropriate in a business setting? My office borders in business formal but no suits. I was thinking with pumps and a silk blogs they might be a good alternative to wearing wool trousers all summer.

I do, I work in a similar environment and I plan to wear mine with a button down and a cardigan or something similar. ;)

Purse-o-holic- love the red Minnie's with the stripe perfect shirt! How do you care for the shirt? I tried it on this weekend and want it, especially after seeing your pics, but I have had bad experiences with their stretch dress shirts in the past. I find that I have to baby them when laundering and even after ironing they still look terrible. I have tried streaming too, which ends up even worse. Any tips? I wish they would make no iron dress shirts. I don't have the time to spend an hour getting my shirt ready to wear.

Thx Jordan. I dryclean them no starch.

Same here! I'm wearing my bright dahlia capris today with navy gingham shirt and navy v-neck on top... I think it's appropriate.

absolutely!! i wear them too with blazers, blouses, and like duke, a button down and cardi. they're perfect with all shoes, whether flats, heels, or a kitten heel.
 
I cannot believe that I just found this thread! I LOVE J Crew!

I did a few reviews on my blog about J Crew blazers and skirts if y'all are interested. :)

Also I think that colored capri's would be appropriate in the business setting as long as your other pieces are generally pretty conservative. :) I wish I could wear colored pieces at my workplace, but the hospital is pretty strict about that. :(

I think the Cafe Capris are very work appropriate, especially if paired with a nice blouse or blazer.

After looking at all of the posts/pictures of people modeling these pants I am considering purchasing a pair or two! This thread is very addictive and enabling! :smile1:

I noticed that the Cafe Capris in wool are on sale on the website, but these were not in stock at my store to try on. I did try them on in the cotton version. My usual size was a little big, resulting in a "frumpy" looking pant. It seems like the general consensus is to go down a size, so I hope they will fit if I order them. Is this what most of you have found with the wool Cafe Capris?

Agree with bolded. Can't remember who but someone posted pics of the viv flat in leopard print...now I want those. Good thing the cafe capris didn't look good on me. :laugh:
 
Has anyone tried the striped linen dolman tees? I hate it when they don't show the item being worn by a person! They are only available online for some reason.

Thanks all! How should the cafe capris fit? I am a 00 in pencil skirts but usually buy a 0 in the 120s suiting. I tried on the capris in 00 and they were a smidgen right, but I'm afraid the bigger pair will look weird. Also, do they stretch throughout the day?
