Happy Easter! I hope everyone is enjoying an amazing weekend with your friends and family. Today I’m going to break down a trend and show you guys how to wear culottes a few different ways.
Shop the Look
Sweater: Lou & Grey (from last year, similar here and here) // Culottes: 1 State (old, similar here and slightly obsessing over this jumpsuit version here) // Pumps: Charles by Charles David // Bag: Zara (also love this one and this luxury version) // Bangles: Julie Vos // Hat: Club Monaco (available only in black and navy, similar here and just bought this one)
If these beautiful white culottes look familiar, it’s because I’ve worn them before (here and here)! The exact same pant from 1 State is still available in a gorgeous blush color. Or, I really like these white ones from Ann Taylor.
If you want to try the trend, but feel like you don’t know how to wear culottes – you’re not alone. They’re really meant to resemble a skirt, with generous fabric cut to create a full leg. If you’re like me and used to wearing skinny jeans or tailored pants, then this style is an aberration in your closet. The first blouse I paired them with was uber-feminine with semi-sheer details and pleats at the hem. I wore this to an event at Neiman Marcus this time last year. In the second look, I wore a bold, graphic sweatshirt with 3D flowers when I was in Chicago visiting my friend Jessica. The first look was more professional and the latter was way more fun with the big, floral appliques. As you can see, I clearly love to wear these pants with a white blouse.
With the quick cold front that rolled through this past week, I figured it was going to be my last time to wear a sweater. So, I grabbed this Lou & Grey tunic (last seen here with a midi skirt) and threw it on with these. I wasn’t sure if it would layer well, but it totally does. I think this is my favorite way to wear culottes so far. Minus the turtleneck (which you won’t need for Spring), this lightweight sweater from Loft would also go really well. To be more casual, you could throw on a pair of white sneakers. Since I was headed to the office, I opted for these white pumps.
Which was your favorite way I styled these culottes? And did you see this amazing jumpsuit I linked too?! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and be sure to check out all of my other neutral outfit inspiration on my Pinterest board!
