No Sneakers, No T-Shirts—This Is the It-Girl Way to Wear Capri Pants in 2026 Leave a comment

Remember mid-2025 when every fashion person was wearing capri pants like it was their job? Well, we’re back. It got cold, hence the capri-pant pause, but since we’re slowly but surely starting to think about spring, chic celebrities such as Kendall Jenner are already starting to wear them again.

Jenner was photographed over the weekend in San Francisco for the Super Bowl, and on this particular occasion, she dressed her black legging-like capri pants up in the most 2026 of ways. Instead of taking the casual route with a T-shirt and sneakers, Jenner wore thong sandals with a high stiletto heel and one of the year’s biggest trends thus far: a sporty funnel-neck jacket.

Elevated nylon jackets are exploding in popularity, and Jenner’s choice to wear one with capri pants was wise. The elegant athleisure-adjacent trend is the perfect way to make your capri pants look fresh and new for 2026, and her thong sandals are an indication that everyone’s favorite shoe to wear with capri pants last spring and summer is back for another round.
