Capri Pants in Capri

Style + Travel |

While in Capri, Italy I went to La Parisienne a local shop sitting in the town square since 1906. This boutique is famous for their signature cut. I guess I never really gave much thought to the origin of the word Capri pant, but now that I know it seems so fitting for this classic style.

Capri pants became famous from the Italian island where this style gained popularity and has remained timeless for many decades. The boutique is known for their custom Capris made for Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. But the original style was made for Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1960s and is now dubbed the Jackie O pant.

My trip to Capri was short, but to get a custom pair of pants made to measure can be fitted in just a day. The in house seamstresses crafted a pair of white stretch cotton pants for me, seen here in the photos, along with a pair of white shorts.

They had an array of fabric options, colors and patterns but I wanted a pair that I would wear for years to come and pack every time I revisit one of my favorite places in Italy. If you are traveling to Capri, I highly recommend stopping by La Parisienne and get a pair of capri pants made and embrace your inner Jackie O on your visit to the Amalfi Coast.

  7. I was reading through your IG and it said, “if you need help or questions feel free.” Well Marianna you are gorgeous! I was a victim of domestic violence my husband is a wealthy man but of course I ran. It was either my life or luxury. My sister knew I have a passion for make up and fashion so she paid for my certification course as an MUA. I don’t know how to approach people anymore because I lived in terror for so long. It has been 3 months. I would love to be able to do what I love, make people feel good about being alive or human . What advice can you give me

  10. Love this post! I was recently in Positano and got leather sandals custom made to my FEET! it was such a special memory and I know I’ll cherish the sandals for years to come!

    We didnt get a chance to visit Capri this trip, but next trip I’m totally making a stop at La Parisenne–thanks for sharing!

  15. CONGRATS on your HB column! You are my all time favorite blogger, and the first blogger to ever respond to a comment I left! I LOVE ur snaps traveling the world with your mom. It was a dream of my mother and I to travel all over together, but she was too sick during her life. Now that she is gone I imagine that shes just taken an exotic trip out of the country. Sometimes when people ask, and i dont feel like sharing about her death I lie and say she is just away in Paris! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you and your moms travels.
