Capri Pants from Nygard

It was 65 years ago in 1948 that European fashion designer Sonja de Lennart first introduced capri pants to the world. Named after the Italian isle of Capri where they quickly rose to popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s, these three-quarter length warm-weather favorites are now a fashion staple in almost every woman’s wardrobe. As usual, they’re a big part of the NYGARD 2013 summer line and in fact, all NYGARD Capri pants are currently on sale—buy one pair and get another of equal or lesser value for fifty percent off the retail price! Add to that the bonus of free shipping on all orders of $75 or more from the his website website and you’ve got some real savings on real summer style.

Capri pants first became popular in North America thanks in part to two famous American actresses—Grace Kelly and, believe it or not, Mary Tyler Moore. The lovely Grace Kelly was often spotted donning the pants when visiting the island of Capri. Meanwhile, Mary Tyler Moore’s character of Laura Petrie—the beautiful young wife of Dick Petrie from the immensely popular 1960’s Dick Van Dyke Show— caused a fashion sensation (and even a smidgen of controversy) by wearing snug-fitting capris during almost every episode of the show’s run.  While the popularity of capris waned somewhat during the 1970s and 1980s, as often is the case in fashion, everything old is new again and they returned to the fashion spotlight and their previous state of popularity during the 2000’s.   

“I love the way women look in capris,” says NYGARD Founder and Chairman Peter Nygard. “It’s such a clean and classic style. These pants are meant to be versatile, fun to wear and very flattering to the female form. They are easily one of our top sellers and a big favorite with our customers. Capris go with practically everything and are appropriate for so many occasions from casual to elegant to professional wear.”

Peter Nygard took much of his inspiration for this year’s spring and summer lines from the wild and untamed side of nature. This is most evident in the Baroque Jungle Tissue Knit Faux Wrap Blouse that will undoubtedly make a style statement that is anything but boring.
