Cool Culottes: The trendy pants everyone is talking about
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:08
Culottes are undeniably the fashion fulcrum of 2015 Spring/ Summer and Fall/ Winter runways — they are everywhere. Here are some of our hot finds.
We’ve been wearing ultra-tight everything for as long as we could remember. We love fitted clothes so much they have even trumped our love for food judging by how we continue to squeeze, jump and hold our breath to fit into, say, the notorious skinny jeans. Nothing could beat our penchant for body-wrapping, second-skin, clothing… until culottes swayed back into trend.
What’s not to love about culottes and the casual vibes they bring? They are guilt-free, chic and — contrary to popular belief — effortlessly easy to style. The flared-knee length trousers (some shorter, some longer) work equally stylish with a crop top or a button-down shirt; strappy sandals or platform shoes.
If you don’t know where to start hunting for them, our gallery is a good place to start. We sifted through the internet for some dashing culottes. You might like Alice + Olivia‘s silky pair or Topshop‘s muted suede ones.
There are so many cool choices that perhaps it’s finally time to ditch the skinny jeans for the spirited swing of culottes.
