I’ll be honest, I’ve not been the biggest fan of culotte pants up to this point. I love them on other people {typically those a bit taller then I – I mean, hello Fashion Jackson!}, but never found a pair I felt looked great on me. And even now, as I share these Striped Culotte Pants, I’m not entirely convinced I’ve been converted. Haha is that terrible to admit? They’re a tough act to pull off! But when I came across this cinched waist option at Zara while back, I thought I’d give them a go. Fashion is supposed to be fun after all, right?!
As the temperature still hasn’t fully dropped to proper fall outfit weather, I paired this with open toe heeled mules and a sleeveless turtleneck. Which I swear, is still very much so still a turtleneck, as I thoroughly felt during this shoot, haha. Can’t wait to be in Colorado this week and rock ALL the turtleneck my heart desires. I felt these Striped Culotte Pants in particular needed a slimmed down and simple top to complement the striped pattern.
So, do tell – what do y’all think of these Striped Culotte Pants on me?! Not sure it’s a trend I’ll be repeating on a regular basis, but never say never.
