HOW TO WEAR THE TREND: CULOTTES
Culottes? No, never ever I will wear them! Ridiculous... they are not flattering at all and I remember them from the 80s and early 90s ... I'll definitely skip that trend!
Sounds familiar?
Ok, that's what I said when I noticed the first culottes last year. Never gave them a second thought until I saw this red statement piece which Zara actually describes as a "sarong skirt". I just found the exact same ones for half of the price (!) in red and black on Oasap here! For me a sarong is a large piece of cloth wrapped around the hips, worn as a skirt in many Asian countries and I have seen them during my travels, especially in Indonesia. Our western version are pareos which are perfect for beach holidays. When you google for them, also try "gaucho pants", they really do go by different names! Anyhow - my new favourite red piece looks like a skirt from the front and trousers from the back and is the perfect compromise: elegant - trendy - comfortable.
