How to Wear Culottes whether you're Tall, Petite or Plus Size?


Since it's getting hotter in the Philippines, this coming summer is all about the new, loose cropped trousers. Styling these pants can be tricky, but I know you can work this style. It may be in full-length or midi, wide-leg culotte pants can easily become your new work-wear must-have or you can have another alternative for your jeans. 


Why I love to wear this pant style? Because whether you're tall or petite, you can pull this off! Plus they are so comfy, breezy, and chic.

So how I wore mine? 

I have a co-ord sleeveless vest and wide leg culotte already so all I need to do is to find the perfect inner top.  I want to make it more bold but still chic so I chose to wear my Forever 21 leather tube crop corset.





Remember this trio guide to complete an outfit with culottes - 
"LONG OUTWEAR" + CROP TOP + MIDI CULOTTES".






Opt for a standout outfit with minimalist accessories.




The 3 quarter length for culottes is the most universally flattering fit. For petite girls, to give you the longer silhouette pair this look with a long blazer or vest and don't forget to wear with heels. Wearing culottes well is all about your shoes. You can go for a pair of pointy toe pumps w/ a slim heel for sleep ladylike look but for advanced culottes wearers you can go for more daring options like a thick-heeled platform or fun booties.







Lastly, come people think plus-size girls can't wear culottes because of the shape but that's not true! Tucking your shirt created more of a waist and wearing heels elongate your legs.
