6. Bottom Wear for Women: Culottes

Culottes

Culottes have their origins in the 18th century France. Not trousers actually, culottes are longer than most shorts. Ending at the knee, they are cut at full leg width to impart the appearance of a skirt. Culottes look cool as a casual wear. They can look formal when they are made from firm fabrics such as crisp cotton or organza. However, you can also achieve a more formal look with a tucked in top. Also, pair your favourite set of culottes with a jacket to get a more structured look.

Though we usually see taller women carrying them well, it’s a myth that culottes can’t be worn by petite women. Choosing the right style is a key here. Make sure you pick up culottes that go below the knees.A fitted top not only helps you in accentuating your waist but also striking a balance. And if you reach out for heels, they will definitely help you elongate your legs.
