Culottes always look effortlessly chic but can be ticking to style, so we have created this guide on what to wear with culottes to help you create stylish and sophisticated outfits.

Culottes are a style of wide-leg, cropped pants that finish anywhere below the knee but above the ankle that were first worn by men in the 18^th century but were then adopted by women in the 19^th century.
