The Best Culottes for Spring and Summer

There is no shortage of divisive fashion trends. just look Miu Miu’s micro skirts. Before that, bike shorts were sent to every track, and we ordinary people finally had to give in to the bike-inspired craze. albeit reluctantly. Now we give our full support to the back of the pants. Why? Because the best pants make the transition to spring (and then summer) so much more stylish.

Culottes are defined as knee-length or calf-length trousers designed to be almost mixed with skirts. It is this variety that we find very attractive. You can now sport longer versions. And even visit them again in the fall. Then, switch to Bermuda shorts as summer approaches.

One caveat: financial matters. Skip the wool offerings in favor of more breathable fabrics. Think cotton, linen, and silk. But don’t fall for jeans reviews. They range from distinctly cropped bottoms to nearly shorts. Again, it’s all about versatility.

When it comes to style, you can combine them with short cardigans, t-shirts or vests. The second set makes a great warm weather outfit. Culottes also lend themselves to a wide variety of shoes. We love to cap off the calf-length pants with stylish flats. Knee-length creations are perfect for strappy sandals, whether they’re stilettos or cat heels.
