I am sure by now you have seen them everywhere – on runways, in magazines, on celebrities and fashion bloggers. Yes, the culottes are here, but they can be just a little bit confusing for the regular girl. The question is, can anyone wear them and of course HOW to wear them?
Actually wearing culottes is easier then you think, you just have to keep few things in mind. Fit and proportion are key. You want to look taller and slimmer, so make sure you don’t cut your body at the wrong places. Pair with something equal in volume, a crop top or a short jacket works perfectly. Stay away from wide long jackets or tops. For a complete look pick high shoes, this is an extra step to elongating your body.
Presenting two easy and very stylish looks for you. The first one is for the girls in their 20’s and the second for the girls 30’s and up.
I like looks you suggested. What would be your styling suggestions for a bigger calf area or thicker ankles? I would assume that the culotte look may not flatter that particular leg shape as much. Again loved the options!!!
Hello Samantha
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comment.
I can relate to your question and here is what I recommend.
Pick a pant that ends right at the lower calf line. You don’t want
anything too short or too long, just enough to cover it.
The number one rule when you have a thicker ankles is to NEVER wear
ankle strap shoes, they make the leg look shorter and bigger.
Instead look for a classic stilettos or a sling back or any shoes
that have more distance between the toe line and end of the garment.
Stay away from round toes or super chunky styles. This is valid not
only when you wear culottes, but with any dress or skirt.
I hope this was helpful.
Thanks again and check back soon for more styling tips.
