Culottes Pants Style
Culottes Pants Style
FreeCulottes are making a major comeback this spring and summer. What are culottes, you ask? They’ve been around forever they were originally worn by upper-class European men in the middle ages, and used to be tight with closures around the knee.
Somewhere along the way, culottes became more loose and flowy pants that typically hang right below the knee, but can sometimes be shorter like shorts or longer in a midi length. When worn, culottes usually hang and look like a skirt except their pants, which is kind of awesome.
Yes, you can wear them and look cool. When choosing a top, treat them like any old pair of pants, but choosing the right footwear is key. Add length (and polish) with a pump or sandal, or go low-key with a normcore-worthy slide, sneaker, or loafer.
