First the tops started getting shorter and shorter, and now the hemline on pants creeping up on us. Remember those stretchy knit gaucho pants everyone was sporting in the early 2000’s?
Well these aren’t it. The new culottes are breezy, stylish and easier to pull off than you might think.
When executed correctly culottes can exude an air of sophistication and read almost like a midi-skirt. The trick? Getting the fit and footwear right. The goal is to create a long line for a leg-lengthening effect, no flats allowed. Instead try pairing up cropped culottes with a pair of sleek stiletto heels or chunky wedge heel.
Culottes come in a variety of widths, lengths, and patterns, so they’re actually flattering on a range of body types.
Hit reset on your wardrobe this spring and brave your ankles with some of these culottes we found while shopping around the interwebs.
