Let's talk culottes...
They're
definitely a polarizing trend! I actually kinda hated them at first
because they reminded me of the stretchy brown gauchos I sported in the
year 2000-ish 😱
However,
they've steadily grown on me and eventually I caved when I saw these in
person and decided they would be a great addition to my summer work
wardrobe! I really struggle with what to wear to work in the summer
because I don't want to wear black trousers every day, but also don't
want to buy a ton of work appropriate dresses and skirts to rotate.
Since these are flowy/breathable and are a dressier fabric, I decided to
give them a try!
For me to feel good in culottes, I dress them up with an elongating stiletto heel, and then pair them with some sort of simple top or blouse. These pants make quite the statement, so I like to keep everything else very minimal!
I
will say that I feel they look better in person than they do in photos. They're not exactly effortless to photograph...lol.
I don't 100% love these photos (is that weird to admit since I'm
posting them??), but it was ridiculously windy that day and we struggled
a little bit to get good shots!
