I have to confess that the gauchos and boots thing has totally grown on me.
Frankly, I'm not surprised. I do have your name down in the Capri Files already. It was just a matter of time.
I don't entirely understand what gauchos are, or how they're different from capris or board shorts or those gigantic floppy shorts basketball players wear.
In my dictionary, gauchos flare. Capris taper. Board shorts stop above the knee, and have a characteristic style of stitching. Gigantic floppy shorts...well, they're gigantic floppy shorts. They need elastic waistbands, have no tapering, and would probably end above the knee if anyone wore them properly.
I think there are great things that can be done with clothes that go on your butt and have two leg holes, even if we don't count panties and swimsuits. Just that my ideas never seem to be in fashion.

These are my new favorite gauchos. I love them.
See, I always thought that gauchos were mid-calf length, and culottes were just below the knee, and palazzo pants were floor length. I think I may be over specific, because I distiguish between capri's, pedal pushers and crop pants, too)
EVIL!

I always thought that gauchos were mid-calf length, and culottes were just below the knee, and palazzo pants were floor length.
In my rulebook (everyone please adopt it, stat), palazzo pants are basically longer gauchos, but culottes are made with less fabric, and don't flow like the first two.
Palazzo pants always looked good on me, and I mourn their lack in my life.
I don't want them messing with the PoTC rides.
I was bummed back in 2000 to find out that they no longer had a photo op at the end of the ride, where you could dress up in pirate-y garb and get a picture taken next to a PotC pirate mannequin. My sister and I had one taken back in 1982 and were hoping to get an update.
I'm pretty sure the ones that look good on me are clamdiggers, but other than that, I have no opinions about what the various cropped pants should be called.
