Are you trying to figure out how to wear culottes so they work for you? Here are a few pointers on how to dress in style.
What to wear with women’s culottes
1. Culottes-style skirts are stylish.
Culottes have an interesting shape that may make you look ugly or stunningly elegant; there doesn't seem to be a middle ground. Culottes with a flowy look and feel rather voluminous in the leg are the newest and most elegant way to utilize this trend. Women culottes are similar to a long, voluminous, swingy skirt with a modern twist.
2. Don't wear anything bulky
Soft pleated legs and pleats are attractive details, but make sure you sneak up to your waist. If you already have a midsection, too much waist complexity and bulky material will add pounds, which you don't want. A culottes with lots of pleats looks taller than you. These black culottes are very slim because the front is flat and pleated, and the centre zipper is vertical.
If you're petite, choose slimmer culottes and make sure the legs of your culottes aren't long enough to drown your feet. Petit culottes may be specially made to flatten a smaller, more compact body.
3. Choose the right kind of tops
It is difficult to decide which shirt to wear with such box-shaped pants. The first tip to remember is that your top should be less voluminous than your culottes. This is the only way to avoid choking under a layer of fabric without a waist.
Combining culottes with a slim and elegant tops. A silk blouse that makes you look nobler. A structured button-down shirt with a great contrast between the hard and soft lines between the top and bottom halves is perfect for sporty types.
Cropped sweater with a waistband is flattering, but only if you have a flat stomach.
4. Should you tuck in or tuck out
Pushing a shirt or blouse into the waistband or in the middle is the most flattering option. This is the best way to show off the curves of the culottes and create an hourglass silhouette!
Some women can be long, but it isn't easy. This may work for you if you are slim and the sweater is streamlined rather than bulky and baggy. However, watch out for the wide silhouette that looks like a huge box or square pants!
5. Which shoes and handbags fit the culottes?
The culottes will rest in the middle of the calf. They can make your feet look heavy, so combine them with your heels to stretch the lines of your feet. It can be anything from pumps to strap heels to booties. Even a pair of cute (and comfortable!) Low kitten heels do the trick. Even the smallest lift will stretch your legs and make you look taller and slimmer.
Also, enjoy the shoes as the culottes draw attention to the ankles and feet.
Choose a handbag with clean lines and a very rigid design to contrast the flow culottes with a fashionable approach.
On the other hand, the denim culottes are a little different, so let's see how to dress them.
1. Tuck in: Do you have a button-down shirt on? Push it in, curl the cuffs, and stack a few bracelets on top. Next, make a crease in half at the front by pushing up on the sweater's sleeve. The tuck or half-tuck look emphasizes the waist and lengthens the cropped pants' appearance, making your legs appear longer.
2. Show off your adorable shoes (or boots): Wedges or block heels lengthen your legs, while a lovely pair of flats are stylish and comfy. Snake designs, leopard prints, other attractive ballerina shoes, mules, and even statement sneakers are all great options. Tall boots look nice with a gaucho in denim.
3. Add a cardigan or jacket: With a matching shirt and denim culottes or gaucho, a fitted blazer or long-swaying cardigan will be a nice outfit.
4. Wear longer culottes: Many culottes are beginning to fall into a broad category of spacious pants, usually flattering. Try different lengths to see the best length. The longer the gaucho or culottes, the better it looks.
