CHALLENGING CULOTTES
As you all know, I visited the Philippines back in November. And guess what! I found t h r e e pairs with the perfect fit. When I was a teenager I would always buy my denims there, because I wouldn’t have to alter the length. Same with culottes. And instead of choosing one color only, I bought all of them.
So is everyone able to wear culottes? I saw a lot of posts and articles, that this style of pants is a no-go for short people. I disagree. As you see it’s all about the endeavour of finding the right pair (even though I have to admit, that I already surrendered). So how do I pair them? The most seen combination is to pair them with a crop-top. Nope, not following this trend, unless looking like Winnie the Pooh is object of this game. Don’t get me wrong. Crop-Tops are great! Cute & sexy at the same time, just nothing that would look good on me. I always hear and read all these suggestions, that culottes go best with fitted, tiny or tucked in tops, t-shirts, blouses, or sweaters, because it would balance out the silhouette. So I’ve clearly missed on this must-do. Actually I didn’t. I just dare not to follow these suggestions. As you see I did wear a loose, oversized blouse which I haven’t tucked in at all. I went for a transparent blouse to avoid looking like I forgot to take of my pyjamas. To compensate the casual look, I decided to wear heels – besides, I really missed to flounce around in those babies. But I would totally wear this outfit combination to white flats. I think that this oversized pieces, paired with my striped culottes, look a little more sophisticated (on me) than the typical crop-top combination. But I guess it’s all a matter of proportion. Now tell me, how do you pair yours?
