Culottes - neither are they pants nor shorts or even skirts! Not too long and a big rage in the 60s, 70s and as my little brain recalls 80s as well. Back in her time, my mother was way ahead with her fashion choices as she had more culottes than I own skaters now! While the width and length of culottes can vary by quite a margin, the pants are usually high-waisted, which means they work particularly well with a top on the shorter side. Boxy tops or oversized styles may look good (more high fashion, funky sophisticated) but it’s a matter of proportion. You gotta try it to see if it works. It doesn’t have to be a crop top, but it should fall above your hip so your mid-section doesn’t end up looking wider than it is.
Whether you’re tall or petite, lanky or curvy, there’s a culotte out there with your name on it just waiting to be made into a fashion statement. Spotted on the runways to the streets, culottes have proven to be 'The Trend' to try.
One of the most flattering of all styles in 2015 is the return of the culottes, albeit with a modern twist. Heels (sandals, pumps) will always make culottes look smarter, office appropriate and posh. Flats can look very French chic, so can oxfords or brogues. An alternative style could be a tucked in blouse, which is a great corporate attire. Culottes are most definitely not just a summer staple, they will carry you well into fall. Let's see how you guys style your culottes and if you succeed in finding the perfect pair, do not forget to click a picture and tag me on Instagram or Facebook.
So girls the long and short of this article is, keep it short with a twist of style!
