I wasn’t a big fan of culottes when they came into fashion, until the day I tried one at the Zara store. I realised after wearing them that it would be very difficult to go back to wearing jeans in this humid Mumbai weather, specially when heading to work. Frankly I didn’t even know they were called culottes till I saw Anisha write a post wearing her favourite tan ones which I must admit are quite cool. The ones I picked up was a lovely powder blue colour.
What are culottes? ‘It is a women’s knee-length trouser, cut with full legs to resemble a skirt.’ If you don’t own one already you will find some great ones in Zara. Post the blue ones, I picked up two more to wear to work but my sister was not convinced. She insists they look like cropped pyjamas and I couldn’t pass them off as fashionable culottes. I beg to differ and will soon do an outfit post in my defense to prove that she is wrong.
My outfit details: Black top (similar) and blue culottes from Zara, aztec print shoes from a small store in Bhutan. (I picked them while travelling for Roadies)
I would prefer them without the slits on the side. Will go hunt for another in my next shopping expedition.

I think culottes are cute! I remember wearing them as a child but more short style. I love the word too, ha.

Haha! True – its a fun word to say but sounds posh too!
I’ve always been on the fence about culottes, maybe because I was forced to wear them in private school for years. These look so cute on you though.

Even I was not very fond of them initially, I still am a bit confused if I want to try them out. But they definitely are growing on me
Definitely try it out! They are so comfy!
culottes are comfortable and look good if you wear slip on or sneaker in my case would prefer sneaker.
