The Culotte Trend

I get asked a lot about the culotte trend. Some of us do not know how or why they should wear a trouser that is not actually a full length trouser. The culotte trend became very popular in 2015 during spring /summer. If you look back at one of my post when I was on holiday in Dubai you will notice that I rocked one too, which was a culotte jumpsuit.I also love how fashion bloggers in London are paring this trend. One thing I really do love about the culotte trouser is that the length is primed for showing off your shoes, so go bold and opt for a very gorgeous heels. Finesse your flare with class by polishing off the look with timeless pieces, like a Celine bag , or a D&G bag which is very classic and timeless.A statement jewelry is a must when wearing s culotte . For added warmth, wrap yourself up in the luxury of a faux-fur scarf, or just a turtleneck top depending on the weather.

The culotte cut can be very tricky to style because of its obvious cut. There are far too many memories of unflattering, frumpy, frowsy, wide-legged pants that make you feel more like a clown than a person. The secret to finding a pair of culottes that actually works for you is all in the length. The most flattering pairs end at the skinniest part of your leg for most women, that's right above your ankle. Once you've got a pair that hits there, your culottes will look correct, no matter if you're wearing heels or flats. Like I always say, you must not wear everything that's on trend. Only wear what suits you and your body type. The culotte trend is not for everyone, only wear it if you feel comfortable in it!
