How To Style Culottes
It might seem like these pants just appeared out of thin air, but they were actually a hit back in the groovy 70s! And guess what?
They’ve made a fabulous comeback, winning the hearts of the current generation for all the right reasons.
The biggest plus? They’re ridiculously comfortable! But it’s not just about the comfort—when styled right, these pants are the epitome of chic.
Ready to give culottes a spin? You’re in the perfect place because I’ve got some killer styling ideas that you’ll definitely want to try.
So dive in and get ready to rock those culottes!
Culottes that end right at the skinniest part of your legs, typically between your ankle bone up until just up and below your calf muscle dip in, are the most flattering because they highlight the slimmest part of your silhouette, creating a balanced and elegant look.
This length not only accentuates your natural shape but also elongates your legs, making them appear longer and leaner underneath all of that flowy and shadow-casting fabric.
The ankle-grazing hemline offers a perfect blend of sophistication and versatility, allowing you to style them with a variety of footwear—from cute and chunky slides to sleek heels that elevate the look and keep it effortlessly stylish.
Whether you’re aiming for a polished, office-ready ensemble or a laid-back weekend vibe, this length of culottes is universally flattering and adaptable to almost any occasion.
To ensure you can wear your culottes year-round, it's a great idea to match the perfect length of your culottes with the height of your favourite boots.
For instance, if your go-to boots are above ankle bone-length, opt for culottes that hit just below the very top of your boot.
This allows for a streamlined silhouette where the boots peek out enough to make a statement without breaking the flow of the outfit.
In cooler months, this pairing not only keeps you warm but also adds a layer of sophistication, making your outfit feel polished and put-together.
By aligning the length of your culottes with your boots, you're setting yourself up for endless outfit possibilities—making these pieces staples in your wardrobe that you can mix and match effortlessly throughout the year.
During Spring, you can still rock your boots, street sneakers, loafers, and culottes by choosing lighter tops, a soft blouse, or a tee shirt.
The versatility of this approach means you can experiment with different styles and textures, ensuring your look is always on point, no matter the time of year.
And yes!
