How to wear culottes

Forget trendy. Culottes are a modern classic piece for your wardrobe that are easy to wear and super flattering.

Culottes may have started off as a fringe trend several years ago, but this not-quite-a-pant silhouette has quickly become a wardrobe staple. The reason why is obvious. They can be easily dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion and are extremely flattering on all body types.

Here are some of our favourite ways to wear culottes.

Add some block heels and a simple fitted t-shirt to your culottes for a minimalist take on the trend.

Yes, you can wear sneakers with your culottes—just make sure to keep the rest of your ensemble polished. Think button-down shirts and fitted sweaters.

The all-in-one outfit you need? A culotte jumpsuit, hands down. This one is denim and perfect for pairing with dainty jewellery and this season's must-have shoe, the mule.

A khaki pair of culottes is classic, and pairs especially well with strappy sandals and relaxed tops.

Wearing culottes to an event or the office is a cinch when you wear a structured pair with a simple blouse that hits at the waist. Add a pair of fun heels and you're good to go.

Pick a bold colour culotte and mix with feminine details like a lace top or embellished sandals.

Don't be afraid of mixing and matching patterns and textures—this simple benefits from a double-dose of stripes and a suede moto jacket.

Make a statement by sporting one colour from head-to-toe—and don't shy away from white. It's a chic and simple way to be modern and stylish.

For your next night out, wear simple tailored culottes and a chic flowy blouse tucked in. Pair with a bold lip, stilettos and a clutch and you've got the makings of a sophisticated ensemble.

For weekend wear, embrace a jumpsuit with cropped flowing pants and lots of ease. Then, add slides or mules and the outfit will take you from brunch to dinner.

If you're worried about volume, you can pick a culotte with a slimmer leg. Just make sure the pair still skims away from the body. Add a punch of colour and you're good to go.

Don't fear colour! The simplest way to bring this look into summer is to wear it in a bold hue with your favourite sunglasses.

Wearing sneakers with culottes might seem difficult to pull off, but with a slim-fitting top and the right accessories, it's a great casual look.
