All About Culottes & How To Style Them

First off, you might be wondering what culottes are. It’s another name for a trouser, worn usually at the knee-length and are cut very wide, to resemble a skirt. We’ve all opened our closet and said we don’t have anything to wear, right?

Your closet is completely full, yet you just can’t put your eyes on something that you should wear. Chances are, you probably have those work pants shoved in your closet somewhere. Here are a few ways to completely revive the trousers as a more casual everyday look.

The first thing you can do with culottes is wear them with a classy blouse instead of a typical button down. Oversized polos are especially comfortable and breezy for warmer weather.

With this look, your shoes will really decide if it’s casual or not. If you’re going to work, you could wear it with a heel. If you’re just looking for an everyday outfit, platform sneakers also look super cute. You can also add a structured bag for a chic look.

Next, striped culottes are actually a great casual piece if you pair them with other fun items. Finding off the shoulder, ruffled, printed-tops, look great with these pants if you tuck the top in. Simply add some sandals and a pair of hoops for a super cute weekend look.

And lastly, pinstripe culottes look great underneath solid longline vests or dresses. It’s sophisticated, but it’s still casual looking enough that you can wear it for pretty much any occasion. No matter what look you try, you can be sure that you will look modern and refreshed.
