How to wear culottes in your capsule wardrobe

Blog culottes grp 1

Culottes! A must-have addition to your capsule wardrobe.

They’re on-trend and offer a fresh look this season.

Culottes can be dressed up or dressed down, making them appropriate to almost
any occasion.

They are both functional and fashionable.

They are more comfortable than many a trouser and offer more discretion than a skirt.
In fact they are a welcome alternative to both.

What’s not to like?

Choose between an airy wide leg in a floaty fabric or go for a sleeker city look with
hem lines on or below the knee.

Wear them with a jacket for a smarter look.
For an edgier look, team with with a leather biker or one of the new trend bomber jackets.
Wear these jackets half open for a carefree relaxed style.

Below we show you how to wear them with a top taking them into casual wear. Simply throw a jacket
over your shoulders to take you back to smart casual.

We said they were versatile!

For footwear: wear with boots in the Winter/early Spring. A colour to match your culottes will
give you a longer leg line. In late Spring/Summer, wear with heels, sandals, a pair of wedges
or espadrilles.

Heels add that touch of insouciance and elegance, even calculated drama.
Flats are best for active days and weekends.

CWC style tip: heels lengthen the leg and lift the bottom.

If you’d like a dollop of extra confidence, slip a pair on.
Wedges or platforms will probably be the most comfortable.
