Let’s face it. Culottes are a sticky subject. You either have done them and have bad memories or you are not quite sure if you should engage in them. Let’s take the mystery out of the culotte.
It’s as simple as this – the culotte is a shorter dress pant or an alternative to a skirt. I really like it. Think of it this way… it shows off your shoes, which is the best reason to wear a culotte! That’s it. Don’t over think one of this falls hottest trends. I love these from Valentino if high-end is your game, but these that I have on are only $88.

I have always liked wearing culottes. I am glad to see they are coming back. Thank you for sharing this article
They look lovely on you but they’re not for us shot-legged girls. I’ll pass.
I obviously can’t type. SHORT-legged girls.
Well you look great in them! I don’t like them because i feel like they accentuate my large ankles! Lol
I learned A new word today “culotte” thank you for sharing 🙂
I’m not so confident in wearing culottes since I’m only 150cm. Though this trend is marvelous.
Culottes are a great alternative to a pantsuit! They allow to women dress for success without giving up ease and comfort!
I love their look. Either casual or formal they do the job nicely.
They always look good on someone else
Fashionable , really nice understated wear. It doesn’t look ostentatious
You look great in these but I am normally not a fan of them.
And the culottes really allow you to show off those fabulous shoes!
