Did you catch my post on Tuesday? I am on a major denim kick… but I don’t mean your average denim. I am loving all the modern silhouettes as an alternative toย the skinny (which I will always love). You guys know I am a culotte fan (see recent posts here, here, here, here, here, and here), so it only makes sense that I would combine my love for denim and culottes. This pair is Citizens of Humanity via Shopbop, and they could not be more perfect. I really encourage you to try culottes. I have heard from several people that they suit me because I am tall. Here’s the thing, I think they suit everyone and are actually a very flattering cut.
How to wear Denim Culottes:
- It’s all about lengthย – You need a pair that hits mid-calf. If they are longer, they do have a tendency to overwhelm shorter frames. Show some ankle! ๐
- Opt for a leg that isn’t too wide – This is important especially if you are on the petite side. You don’t want legs so wide they end up looking like a skirt. You do need some definition between legs when standing.
- Keep your waist defined – Although I have played with different lengths and fits of tops, when I first started wearing culottes, I was definitely more comfortable balancing the looser bottom with a more fitted top. Consider aย more cropped fit or a slimmer top you can tuck in.
- Avoid pleats/zip front – Clearly on a denim pair, you probably won’t avoid a zip front, but my favorite dress pairs are my black and rust colored ones that have a hidden zipper on the side or back. in my opinion, this makes for a cleaner and more flattering line.

When I saw denim culottes in the store I wondered how I could possibly style them. Thank you for great style inspiration and idea.

Culottes is something that I haven’t tried yet because they intimidate me. How do you make it look so effortless?

Love this! You really know how to rock the culotte trend. I have loved all your different looks and this is another great one.
Thanks for sharing these great styling tips. I’ve been really loving the look of culottes but I have been hesitant to try them as I feel like I’m too short for them. Lol!

You look absolutely STUNNING! I am honestly obsessed with this whole look! The denim culottes are lovely and I think that I need to invest in some too! I seem to have quite a lot of printed culottes, but denim ones are so perfect to wear with printed tops

Mid calf you say!? I adore culottes but feel like they make me look frumpy. I might have to investigate exactly where these bad boys are landing on my legs!

I feel like I’m too short to pull off culottes (maybe I just haven’t found the right pair…), but you look amazing! Love the blouse, too ๐
