Hailey Bieber is one of those celebrities who can easily start a trend just by being photographed wearing a specific piece. Her trendsetter status has made certain clothing items go viral or make a comeback, even ones you thought you’d never see or wear again.
The star was recently photographed wearing capri pants. Yes, that’s right. Capri pants are back. The knee-length pants, also known as “pedal pushers,” had a significant moment in the 1990s and early 2000s, as they became a staple of the Y2K era for many “it girl” celebrities, including Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez.
Although they weren’t seen on any big stars over the last 20 years and are considered “controversial” by some fashion experts, they are making their way back into the fashion world and can be worn in a super chic way. Read more about the return of capri pants below.

Capri Pants Are Back In Style For The Upcoming Summer Season
Depending on how old you are, if you're a millennial or a member of Gen Z, the last time you wore capri pants may have been in middle school. However, around last summer, certain stylish celebrities started stepping out in them again, such as Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski. Capri pants are most popularly made with denim and khaki fabrics, as well as material used in workout clothing.
While in the early 2000s, capris were often worn by celebrities with a pair of sporty sneakers and a tank top, they're making a comeback that is a lot more chic and polished. Now, they're being worn with heels, stylish belts, more formal tops, etc. Gigi Hadid was seen wearing denim capri pants with heels and a black tank top, making them a fun part of a 'going out' outfit.
However, they can still make a great piece in a sporty ensemble. For instance, her sister Bella Hadid was seen out and about wearing plain black capri pants with ballet sneakers and a jacket.
Several popular retail brands, including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, American Eagle, and Reformation, are embracing the capri pants trend by creating styles in a variety of materials and colors.
The price range for these pants is quite broad, considering the brand that manufactures them and the materials they are made from, so consumers can find them anywhere from $30 to $115.
