Fun With Prints
Go crazy with a bold pattern while keeping your shirt and accessories to classic neutrals, like Tamu Macpherson of All the Pretty Birds.
Monotone Dressing
Whether a matching set, like Buro 24/7’s Miroslava Duma, or simply similar colors, monotone dressing is a great excuse to add bold shoes or a bag to the mix.
Matched Set
Don’t be afraid to show a slice of midsection with matching culottes and a crop-top set, like Kayla Seah of Not Your Standard.

A Modern Skort

Sporty Dressing
For a sporty weekend look, style a pair of draped culottes with a T-shirt and sneakers, like I Believe in Pink’s Linda Tol.

Culottes are a great way to wear leather while still feeling office-appropriate. Style yours with a loose silk blouse like EJ Style’s Emma Hill.

An all-black look is the perfect pair to this statement coat on Amazyne’s Liesbeth Rasker, but the flowy silhouette prevents it from feeling basic and boring underneath.
The Culottes Suit
Culottes are a great way to update the traditional, stuffy menswear suit. You can even take it one step further and trade you classic blazer for a cropped vest, like this one.
