“Panting” For the Answer
What is the difference between pedal pushers and capris? Pedal pushers are pants that come below the knee. They were great to wear as a kid. You could ride your bike while wearing them and not worry about the bottom of your pants leg getting caught in the bike pedal sprocket which was especially easy to do with the elephant bells of the 70’s.
Capris, are pants that come just below the knee, also great for riding bikes. Why did they have to add clam diggers, highwaters, knickers, three quarter leg pants, flood pants, toreador pants and man-pris into the mix? Don’t even get me started on crop pants! Why are there so many names for the same thing? And how do you know when it’s appropriate to use which name?
