When it comes to finding affordable wholesale capri pants, it all comes down to the name game. Some people call them wholesale cropped pants, some call them wholesale capri pants, and others refer to them as wholesale pedal pushers.
Why pedal pushers, you might ask? Well, the term was coined in the early 1940’s by designer Lynn Eccleston, who experimented by cutting the bottoms off of women’s slacks. They appeared sporty and friendly to female bicycle riders. Hence, “pedal” pushers.
Eventually pedal pushers, also known as cropped pants or capri pants, became a fashion statement in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
Actresses could be seen on the Mary Tyler Moore show wearing them, however, Audrey Hepburn is recognized as the celebrity that made pedal pushers a fad in the mid 50’s.
For the past five years, wholesale cropped pants have become popular all over again. As they say, everything old becomes new again at some point, and now is that time.
Pedal pushers are fashionable, stylish, trendy, and fortunately–it looks like they’ll be around for quite a while. So, who’s wearing pedal pushers now? A lot of actresses! Regardless of age, size, or shape - many women are comfortable in pedal pushers and cropped pants.
