Trend Watch: Culottes

Hello again, Youvies!

Spring is officially here and what better way to welcome the sunshine than by rocking one of the latest trends, culottes. We hear your groans and can feel your grimaces, but hear us out! Culottes are back and can be a cool, chic addition to your spring/summer wardrobe. Let's get started.

Quick tips:
  • Pay attention to proportions. Culottes are quite voluminous. To make sure you don't look like you're drowning from the calves up in fabric keep the top half more form fitted to balance out the volume of the culottes. Be careful though! If your top half is too tight you'll look like a crust down pizza slice, but not the tasty Pizza Hut kind, the bad fashion kind, and nobody wants that. 
  • Keep it simple. Culottes are a statement piece. Keep the rest of your pieces simple and let the culottes do the work to get that effortlessly chic look. 
  • Wear pointed or open toe shoes. Pointed and open toe shoes make you look taller, which will help combat against the length and the volume of the culottes.  
  • Tuck in your shirts. If you're going to wear a shirt that falls below the waist, tuck it in to help create a more flattering silhouette.
