Cunning culottes


Culottes are knee-length or calf-length pants, usually cut full to resemble a skirt. They are a form of split skirt and are usually free and wide legged.

Culottes made a comeback 2013 with Celine, Acne, and Louis Vuitton featuring the voluminous calf-skimming trousers. They may appear to be a tricky pieces that should remain on the runways, but the blowy cropped pants can be a surprisingly flattering and versatile piece when styled correctly.




If you are worried about your waist drowning underneath, tuck in to create a nice silhouette......
Work a tailored look, wear with a shirt or blouse and wear tucked in.
Culottes will definitely make your legs appear shorter because of the cut.....so you might wanna wear them with heels (especially petite ladies).


Play with colors and patterns.....I mean it's almost like wearing a floral midi skirt, so why not?........
Wear with a structured jacket that sits on the waist band of your culottes......anything lower will chop off your height.


You can opt for slimmer cuts like Nupita did.......and also bring on the boyish vibe with a slouchy silhouette...... it's up to you....carriage is all you need.....


For those who loves colors like i do.......simply go bright and bold...... bring on your color blocking skills.....but keep accessories simple!!
