Like It or Not, These Pants Are Back In the Spotlight—30 of the Chicest Styles (and Best Shoe Pairings) Are Already on Nordstrom

I've already been a proponent for the return of capri pants for many seasons now, so I am more than happy to see them back in the spotlight for spring 2026. With warmer weather now in full swing, there's no better time than now to pick up a pair. Nordstrom happens to have a great selection ranging in lengths, styles, and fabrics. Not sure what shoe to wear with the controversial pants? No worries! I have you covered with some excellent shoe pairings that will bring any capri pants outfit to the next level.

Below, you can check out my curated list of capri pants and shoes. I stuck to black pant picks since it seems to be the go-to color among the fashion set. As for the shoes, I included trending picks that can be worn with just about everything, but they pair well with capris in general. Think flip-flops, kitten heels, wedges, slingback heels, sneakers, and ballet flats. Keep scrolling to start shopping one of this season's biggest trends.
