CULOTTES AND QUESTIONS

23/08/2015
Culottes, fashion blogger
Culottes. They’re a bit like the marmite of the fashion world, aren’t they? Some love them – myself included as a fully fledged convert – some think they’re the most horrific thing in existence (harsh, but you know, I like to say it how it is) but for me… they just totally fit the “Summer to Autumn”/”Comfortable but stylish”/”Smart but easily made casual” bill. 
I am all about that base bill…
What I also love about these are that they are so incredibly versatile, I’ve worn them with so many different items of clothing that I was actually thinking of doing a “3 ways with Culottes” style post however I didn’t get my shit together to do it in time however, I’m sticking with just the one today. But prepare to see these Primark beauties popping up more often!

I’ve waxed lyrical about these culottes for far too long already but they really are stupidly comfortable. Ain’t nobody got time for clothes that don’t feel like PJ’s… And the gorgeous “paint splodge”/non-uniformed oval print – can we just take a moment to appreciate the worst description in existence there? – just makes a little more of a statement.

Another item in my wardrobe/shoe rack that I love consistently are these ASOS strappy block heels. They’re just the right height to give me that added lift – and let’s be real, correction of posture #HunchBackOfNotreDam – but without making me feel 10ft tall.
Crop top that feels like silk – but I’m sure will consist of nothing but polyester – is by Primark.

Like the look? I’ve hunted down the most similar items I could find as a lot of this is out of stock/Vintage Primark. Working class hero material, right? 😉

So that brings me to the end of this post. I would love to know your thoughts on Culottes. Are you a part of the love them, hate them, or couldn’t care less gang? I’d love to hear what you think!
P.S I put out a little tweet to see if you had any questions for a Q&A… and you did. So here’s that video 🙂
As always, thanks so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post!

  2. I LOVE a good pair of culottes!! You could totally take these through to A/W with a chunky knit and brogues (not that I'm trying to dress you, just thinking out loud…) Haha! GORGE! xx

  3. I'd be lying if I said I loved culottes, because I don't and I wouldn't wear them. HOWEVER, as usual they look great on you! I really love the ASOS shoes as well, they are so so nice. It's a really great look to transition into autumn as well, like you say 🙂 xx

    I am really showing my age here but the last time I wore culottes was about 25 years ago. They didn't look right on me then and I'm sure they wouldn't now. But I think these look really nice on you.

    Hi Elle, I watched your video and it was so fun! You are a kind and humble person <3 I loved this outfit, I'm really into the shoes which I would love to buy but I'm always kept back from hills as I'm afraid I'll get back and feet pain. Haha anyway, thanks for sharing!

    Every time I see these in the shop I actually recoil but they look so good on you! As such a short arse they just wouldn't work for me, I'd look like I was wearing too-short flares! xx

  20. Such a beautiful outfit! And your hair looks amazing! x

  21. Ooo I am loving these! I actually love the look of culottes, however, I do find it hard to find ones that suit me – the quest continues!

  22. I love these culottes. I wanted to try some myself but I am not good with loose clothes being a person that is constantly freezing, I don't think I would get on well with them in this dull British summer. However, they look gorgeous on you and I also love the heels!

    Your culottes have great print and colors, they look so chic (but I have to admit that firstly I thought that you was wearing a skirt :P) and I love how you styled them, Elle! 🙂

  25. I love culottes but don't think they suit me, that's why I love looking at them on pretty people like YOU and convincing myself to get more to hang up in my wardrobe hahah!! xxx

  26. Those culottes look fab on you, wish they looked decent on me! I'm too short wah ahah

  27. Aisling says:

    I really need to try some culottes before summer ends. I think I am probably too short to pull them off. BUT I really am into the idea of something that looks like a skirt but doesn't let my thighs rub together resulting in THE BURNING INFERNO OF HELLISH CHAFING! TMI? Probably.

    Thanks for answering my question in your video! Damn gluten free clique with their boring health questions. 😉

    I'm far too short with the wrong shaped legs to pull off culottes. On you they look fabulous! Love the shoes though xx

    I love these heels! They're indeed the perfect height and very classy! I should try culottes (I have to admit I am a bit afraid of them) as I am a sucker for everything comfortable! I love you hair!!! You look gorgeous! Xx

    I'm all for stupidly comfortable clothing, but I don't think culottes suit me :/

    You look stunning in them though! And I really need to visit Primark sometime soon.
