My Hunt for White Capris
So, summer rolled around, and I got this idea in my head. I needed white capris. You know, something crisp, looked cool for warm weather. Seemed like a simple enough plan at the time.
I started looking. First online, then I actually went to a few stores. Man, finding the right white capris was tougher than I thought. Problem number one: see-through. Seriously, a lot of them might as well have been tissue paper. Not the look I was going for. Then there was the fit. Some were too tight in weird places, others were baggy. It was getting frustrating.
Finally Found Some
After maybe a week or two of casual searching, I spotted a pair. Weren’t perfect, felt a little thinner than I’d ideally want, but they weren’t see-through, and the fit was decent enough. Grabbed ’em. Felt pretty good, like I’d accomplished something minor.
First time I wore them? Decided to go to an outdoor thing, sort of a casual get-together in a park. Big mistake maybe? The entire time, I was hyper-aware of where I sat, what I leaned against. Grass stains? Dirt? Potential food spills? It was kind of nerve-wracking. They looked good, yeah, but I wasn’t exactly relaxed.
Keeping Them White… Ha!
Then came washing them. Oh boy. You can’t just toss white pants in with everything else, right? Had to do a separate load, special detergent sometimes. Despite all that? They just didn’t stay bright white for long. Got this sort of dingy look after a few washes. Tried bleaching lightly once, wasn’t great for the fabric.
- Worried constantly about stains.
- Washing was a whole separate project.
- They lost that bright white look faster than I expected.
So, yeah. White capris. They look sharp when they’re new and clean. But the hassle? Keeping them that way is a real chore. Honestly, most days I just grab my blue or black ones. Way less stress. Maybe white capris are for people with more patience than me, or people who don’t mind replacing them often. For me, probably not doing that again anytime soon.
