If any of you are thinking you can't find the right culottes because of your body type, I wanted to share the culottes I found and fell in love with (from the 2015 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.) They are an MVP in my business casual wardrobe. I substitute them where I might wear a skirt, and my preferred look is to loosely tuck in a soft blouse and wear low heels. I am not tall or slender, and it took a while for my eye to adjust to the look-I was worried they might be too long, as my eye was more accustomed to walking shorts than culottes. What helped was to think of them like a wide, straight-cut midi skirt, which helped me select items from my closet to pair with them.

The images are re-posts but I hope they are helpful.
