Culottes Pants Style New

Culottes are making a major comeback this spring and summer. What are culottes, you ask? They’ve been around forever - they were originally worn by upper-class European men in the middle ages, and used to be tight with closures around the knee. Somewhere along the way, culottes became more loose and flowy pants that typically hang right below the knee, but can sometimes be shorter like shorts or longer in a midi length. When worn, culottes usually hang and look like a skirt - except their pants, which is kind of awesome.

Culottes are super comfy, and they’re perfect for spring or summer because they’re breezy, chic, and look better without lots of layers. The problem? They can seem very intimidating and tricky to wear, because they’re not SUPER popular and because they come off as very high-fashion. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make them a part of your summer wardrobe
