Culottes: How to wear this summer's trendiest trousers?

Culottes are one of those wardrobe items that have stormed back into women's fashion after being absent for a few decades. They ruled the runway in the previous season, but this year, culottes are the trousers that simply can't be missing from your wardrobe. What should you wear them with and how to handle this seemingly difficult style of women's trousers?

Mid-calf trousers - where did they actually come from?

What characterizes culottes? They are trousers that flare out downwards and usually reach mid-calf. This style of skirt enjoyed considerable popularity during the hippie fashion era in the 70s, but its history goes back further to the times when in the 17th century this style of trousers was worn by men. Where does their sudden popularity in current trends come from and why have many women fallen in love with them recently?

Wide mid-calf trousers reign in women's wardrobes mainly due to their comfortable and universal cut. Although at first, this trouser style seems strange and hard to style, in reality, there are no trousers more comfortable than culottes. Outfits with this model are easy to put together, and the wide leg does not restrict movement and ensures breathability on warmer days. You can match almost any type of shoe to culottes. They are perfect with classic loafers, or loafers, which have already entered the women's wardrobe class. Also, the hottest shoes of the season, stylish mules, go perfectly with culottes and create comfortable, holiday outfits with them.

Culottes - outfits for every occasion

You can also wear culottes for a special occasion, where a slightly more formal outfit is preferable. Paired with high heels and a good quality silk blouse, even mid-calf trousers can look very elegant and feminine. It's a perfect set for an important dinner, family meeting, or cocktail party.

What else do culottes fit? Outfits with this style are also suitable for everyday wear, because when combined with a regular T-shirt, flared trousers can look stylish and youthful. Mules, sneakers and the current season's trendy sneakers, which add a street character to the whole outfit, match the casual version of culottes.

What to wear flared trousers with?

Mid-calf trousers also pair well with Spanish style blouses, especially during the summer months. Puffy sleeves, delicate ballerina shoes or sandals, and a summer bag in a juicy color are a perfect everyday outfit for the warm season. If you like a strong color accent in fashion, don't hesitate to go for a very trendy colored pattern shirt this season, which gives a holiday character to every outfit you compose.

Juicy prints and culottes are a nod to the colorful decade of the 70s, where joy, a positive attitude and fashion, from which we still draw inspiration today, prevailed. Culottes are ultimately the best proof of this.
