If you have already seen culottes, then you probably could not remain indifferent to this unusual piece of clothing. With the appearance of this style of trousers, women of fashion around the world divided into two camps: some consider such an outfit to be stylish and elegant, and others to be ridiculous and too extravagant.

Indeed, culottes look unusual, but it is very important to learn how to properly combine them with other things. Having mastered all the subtleties of this skill, you can wear these fashionable pants, without fear of looking ridiculous or strange.

Our today's article is devoted to the peculiarities of culottes, back in fashion this year. You will learn about the rules for choosing this item of clothing, as well as get acquainted with the recommendations of professionals to create images in various styles.

By the way, many people call culottes and like “acid trousers”: this name is wrong, keep in mind.

What are culottes pants?

The style of trousers, later called “culottes”, first saw the light in the early 30s of the last century. The model was invented specifically for an important tennis tournament, and for several years was incredibly popular among English noble ladies.

Then culottes were forgotten for a long time, and only in the 90s they returned to the fashion again - but only for a few seasons. This year culottes are one of the most topical things that everyone who wants to be in line with the latest fashion trends is striving to acquire.

For those who are not yet familiar with this type of trousers, we will talk about what are culottes.

Outwardly, they resemble something between a short wide pants and a straight skirt. These are usually pants with a high or medium fit and flared leg length just below the knees. However, the length of the legs can vary, as well as the fabric from which the culottes are sewn.

Culottes made of soft material do not keep their shape, so they look just like a skirt.

If culottes are made of thick fabric, they will look more like pants or long shorts. The first option is suitable for summer, and the second - for cool weather.

Who are the culottes?

Culottes were invented, first of all, for girls-athletes. They allowed to show graceful legs without damage to the reputation and, moreover, they didn’t restrain movements at all.

Modern women do not need to follow such strict rules of decency, so culottes for us are nothing more than a tribute to fashion.

However, do not rush to acquire these fashionable pants, if you are not sure that you will look perfect in them, because this style does not suit all body types.

Best of all, culottes look on girls with model parameters: tall, long, slender legs and no excess weight. It will be difficult to spoil such a figure with any clothes, so if you are a happy owner of all these perfections, you can safely wear culottes.

Low and plump young ladies with this model of trousers should be treated very carefully. The fact is that such a style visually shortens the legs and conceals several centimeters of height, therefore high-heeled shoes are strictly recommended for it. You should also emphasize the waist line, so choose high-rise pants.

Culottes have no age restrictions: this model will suit both very young ladies and women aged. The latter will surely be pleased by the fact that culottes can be worn with thick, opaque tights or stockings.

Length selection and optimum leg width

It is the non-standard length of culottes that is the reason why many girls are very wary of this piece of clothing. Classic culottes have a length slightly below the knee - approximately to the middle of the calf. The horizontal line in this place visually cuts the figure, violating its proportions.

Therefore, those who cannot boast with perfect legs are recommended to choose shorter or elongated culottes.

Pants that barely cover your knees will look good on a girl of any body size, especially with high heeled shoes. Culottes several centimeters above the ankle emphasize elegant ankles.

Young ladies with lush hips, we advise you to pay attention to the model of culottes with a slight flare from the hip. Such a style will allow you to hide excess volumes in the lower part of the body and visually stretch the figure.

Straight culottes are more suitable for slim girls, although pants with wide legs are not contraindicated for them.

What can I wear with wide culottes?

One of the fundamental rules of fashion says that a wide bottom should be worn with a narrow top, and vice versa.

Of course, there are exceptions here, but in the case of culottes, this principle should be adopted and tried to comply with it until you learn to combine these trousers with a variety of things.

A perfect pair of culottes will be made up by blouses, shirts, fitted jackets and vests. In cool weather, you can wear a thin sweater or leather jacket over it. In the summer, culottes can be worn with various tops, including those with shorter ones.

If you choose the top of a free silhouette, it is recommended to fill it in the waistband of the trousers to mark the waistline.

Modern women of fashion choose voluminous coats, jackets and jackets as outerwear as well as culottes, so this style goes well with oversized clothing.

Suitable shoes

When creating a stylish image with culottes, the greatest difficulty that girls face is the choice of shoes. If you can not boast of tall, give preference only to the shoes that visually lengthens the foot.

First of all, these are high-heeled shoes: shoes of different styles, sandals, ankle boots, etc. Flesh-colored shoes or shoes of the same shade as tights or stockings put on you will help to add a few centimeters of growth.

Those who are not afraid that fashionable culottes visually make them a little lower, stylists recommend wearing such pants with comfortable sneakers or slippers, heels, narrow, high boots (in this case, the legs of the leg will cover part of the tops), various shoes — oxfords, loafers, gladiator sandals, etc.

Selection of accessories

Nothing helps in creating a bright and harmonious bow, as well as properly selected accessories. With the help of these little things, you can completely change the perception of the image for the better and for the worse.

The choice of accessories along with culottes is quite simple: there are no strict requirements and restrictions, so you can experiment with your favorite shapes and colors.

Since the pants themselves are rather voluminous, the bags for them usually choose small but roomy ones. This may be an envelope bag, a trapezoid, a bag, etc. Both bags on a long strap and models with a handle are well combined with culottes.

Large sunglasses, bright belts, flashy jewelry - accessories that are most often worn with culottes. We advise you also to pay attention to such stylish details as hats and elegant gloves.
