If there is any area in fashion where there is a lot of experimentation, it’s definitely the pants department. Pants have gone through sort of a revolution over the seasons. They have been embellished, flared, tapered, distressed, and cuffed. The latest transformation for pants is wide and cropped. They are called culottes and every style blogger has been seen wearing a pair.
The trend started last year in the spring. Culottes were the perfect pant to show off recently painted toes and the seasons latest footwear. Now that it’s winter, culottes would make the perfect pairing with that new pair of boots you got for Christmas. You may be wondering why a pant that has been introduced before is getting so much attention again. Well, culottes are very fashion friendly. This means that they can be worn off the catwalk.
In fact culottes can be worn all year round. With the right combination of footwear and accessories, culottes can quickly become a closet staple for any fashionista. Just be careful when experimenting with culottes. They may be fashion friendly but culottes also pack a lot of volume.
There are so many combinations to consider when adding a pair of culottes to the mix. Make sure your wardrobe includes at least one pair. You may be surprised by their versatility.
