Here in New York, the weather is already warming up for spring. However, it seems to be too cold for shorts and too warm for pants which leaves us with a challenge of getting dressed in the morning. This problem is solved with a little bit of both; culottes are back in style and they’re a quickly rising trend. The cut-off pants are available in a variety of options that can satisfy any taste. The versatility of the pants is what makes them a vital piece in any Fashionista’s wardrobe this season.
Taking a trip back in time, culottes were an element of the typical homemaker’s wardrobe in the ’20s to have the ability to do chores but still have the appearance of a skirt. Today, the fashion-forward pieces are created with new textures, colors and patterns. The modern twist on these retro-inspired bottoms will introduce a new look for spring to this classic and original style. The Fashionista can love grunge, simplistic or feminine style and still find a place for culottes as a great addition to their spring wardrobe.
So, how do you make this ’20s trend your own? This Fashionista took her culottes to a new level, styling the amazing denim piece with simple black accent pieces and a chic purple blazer. The Purple is a change to the sea of black attire here in Manhattan. The graphic T-shirt underneath completes the look while keeping things casual for class.
