STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Classy in Culottes

Here in New York, the weather is already warming up for spring. However, it seems to be too cold for shorts and too warm for pants which leaves us with a challenge of getting dressed in the morning. This problem is solved with a little bit of both; culottes are back in style and they’re a quickly rising trend. The cut-off pants are available in a variety of options that can satisfy any taste. The versatility of the pants is what makes them a vital piece in any Fashionista’s wardrobe this season.

Taking a trip back in time, culottes were an element of the typical homemaker’s wardrobe in the ’20s to have the ability to do chores but still have the appearance of a skirt. Today, the fashion-forward pieces are created with new textures, colors and patterns. The modern twist on these retro-inspired bottoms will introduce a new look for spring to this classic and original style. The Fashionista can love grunge, simplistic or feminine style and still find a place for culottes as a great addition to their spring wardrobe.

So, how do you make this ’20s trend your own? This Fashionista took her culottes to a new level, styling the amazing denim piece with simple black accent pieces and a chic purple blazer. The Purple is a change to the sea of black attire here in Manhattan. The graphic T-shirt underneath completes the look while keeping things casual for class.
