What are culottes ?

How to style culottes ?
Everyone seems to have jumped aboard the culottes train, making them the “It” silhouette for last two seasons .
Also known as gauchos—doesn't exactly scream wearable and flattering to a lot of women because of its little unstructured and matronly look .
Whether you’re tall or petite, lanky or curvy, there’s a culotte out there with your name on it just waiting to be made into a fashion statement .
Work appropriate
Mid-calf is the best length for most people as it makes them look like a cute swing skirt.
A structured non glossy look with minimum detailing is best suited for office wear .
Wear with a classic solid or striped collared shirt and an almond- or round-toe T-strap shoe. Add some pretty pearls or a beaded necklace and a day bag in a strong solid colour.
Casual culottes
Think about a more silky, billowy pair for a date or the weekend. Leave the crisp, tailored styles for work. Up top, wear with a thin camisole or blouse with a few buttons undone or patterned tee . You can even wear it as same colour separates .
Petites
If you are short height , than opt for a pair that falls right below the knee, and tailor them if you need to.
Same colour or a nude shoe will help you create an illusion of longer legs .
Full figured
Go for soft but full bodied fabrics . Plain, no fuss silhouettes will do justice . Pointed shoes trim down the overall look ...rock the outfit with lots of confidence :)
