The trickiest trend of Spring-Culottes-is going to be the subject of the discussion today.We,humble folks are too scared to try most of the seasonal trends because of our mere mortal ,er..humanly shaped figures.Fashion trends look hot or nice on the runway but in order to transition them into our daily life,we need sartorial confidence.
Vogue says,
When we say culotte, you are probably thinking of something dowdy and mumsy and lower-abdominal exaggerating, something that will make you look stout and strange and in too-short pants. Forget all that. The new culotte—as seen on the runways at Gucci,Valentino, No. 21, Derek Lam and MM6—is ankle-grazing, it is voluminous, it is actually really, really easy to pull off. It’s a simple update on a classic trouser, so take your cues from bastions of good ol’ American style like Lauren Bacall or Katharine Hepburn and, as Vogue.com Market Editor Kelly Connor notes, “Always keep your proportions in mind; the pant has to hit above the ankle.” Our second move, in running to win over your closet, would be to emphasize that a good shoe is required to keep this kicky look grounded. (An excuse to show off your new shoes? As if we need say more.)
Needless to say,yes,while I am partial to my skinnies and also admit my fear of embracing any new trends,I will try on the mighty culottes for a laugh,if that's what it entails......
