I think 2 could look nerd-preppy-fabulous with white oxfords. Agree that boots and tights are a bit much, but might work with the top from 3.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479514 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 15:08:40 +0000 Staysfit 1479514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479506 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 14:49:45 +0000 Carole 1479506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!

The last photo is my least favourite bc of the dark tights. I like then shoes in the first photo, and I love all the middle photos. I think the cage sandals work really well here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479441 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 11:57:17 +0000 Pree 1479441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input ladies. The culottes are a keeper.<br />It seems that the proportion of the black tops work best with the black sandals.&nbsp; I have to see if I can untuck the white shirt or just wear wear another flowy white top.&nbsp; It makes me realize, I need new tops for the summer!<br />The tights are thumb down- I was stretching it. </p> <p>Gennifyr, I agree that the pink top is too long.&nbsp; But the lesson is that I can have some volume on top with the right proportion.&nbsp; </p> <p>Olivegreen, no sneakers for me, but maybe I would try them with my silver Birks as a casual sporty luxe in the summer.</p> <p>Stylfan, the culottes are a statement, so keep the rest of the outfit simple is best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479414 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 09:38:09 +0000 Summer 1479414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the shorter, untucked tops, especially 3 and 5. &nbsp;By the way, I love the shoes you are wearing in outfit 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479403 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 09:02:07 +0000 Style Fan 1479403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and 5 best.&nbsp; I think they work best with your dark hair (dark shoes and dark hair) and the culottes are a statement.&nbsp; Not sure if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479393 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 08:43:19 +0000 Anonymous 1479393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think apart from the tights version, that they all work pretty well to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479353 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 04:13:23 +0000 Jaime 1479353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #3 but want to put in a word in for #2, looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479284 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 00:28:30 +0000 carter 1479284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 3 and 5 best.

The shirt in 4 looks too long to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479168 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:35:50 +0000 Olivegreen 1479168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like 3&amp;5 best, partly because it looks pulled together and intentional in all black and white, and culottes are a borderline trend which does not need any more statement? Especially if you are wearing them to work, but that depends on the work, no doubt.<br /> The print is great, and the fabric looks full bodied and a little formal, nice.<br /> Your shoes are great! Would sneakers work well with these, also? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479153 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:08:05 +0000 Pree 1479153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input- it is always so valuable. I think I will keep them.&nbsp; I think they hit the perfect note between shorts and skirt so I can wear them to work and on the weekend and evenings!</p> <p>As Shevdev, kristjen point out-the culottes can take some volume on top which I was initially hesitant about&nbsp; and I thought pairing them with the slimmer fit top would be better.</p> <p>The proportions will also be key here- I think where the shell and jersey top hit the hip are the key as kiwigirl and rachelou point out.</p> <p>Unfrumped- I was thinking the exact same about the boxy top and fluid top pulled out over the waistband.</p> <p>Beth Ann- thanks for the shoe compliment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479148 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:54:46 +0000 Sal 1479148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great. I like 3 the best, but also like 1. I think the print is a little summery to wear with the tights, but think sneakers might work if you wanted warmer footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479146 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:47:40 +0000 Beth Ann 1479146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good item!&nbsp; And I love your shoe collection!</p> <p>I like all of these, except perhaps for #6 --- the long sleeves plus tights seem a bit heavy for the culottes, imho.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479137 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:36:18 +0000 rachylou 1479137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are one great pair of culottes!</p> <p>#3 &amp; 5 - I feel these two outfits are top of the line (!!)</p> <p>Next is #2, then #1, then #4 (#4 is a bit mixed message to me).</p> <p>I feel the top is too long in #6 for the culottes, and not showing to best advantage. I do really like the dark stockings and shoes, tho, with the culottes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479120 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:03:52 +0000 Daria 1479120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the winter look, but everything else works! I think my favorite is #3 because the top is a bit shorter than others - slightly better proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479119 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:59:01 +0000 unfrumped 1479119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your culottes! I like the cage sandals a lot with them.<br />It's interesting how they can take some volume over volume if the top is short--so you might try a more boxy top like a short-sleeved sweater (cotton or other cool fabric) that comes just to high hip. Or I also like a boxy or fluid fit&nbsp;thin (meaning drapey) top tucked in and bloused out a little--so it's reined in by the waistband but does not look to snug, so seems to fit with fluid fits that I think are still current. Belting over might also work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479103 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:19:05 +0000 Kirstjen 1479103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the #4 outfit the best. &nbsp;And I think I like the one with the tights the least. &nbsp;I think the culottes are more summery to my eye, and the tights say winter to me. &nbsp;</p> <p>Could be that I am just sick to death of all winter-related things, and wish summer would hurry up &amp; show up here in Chicago... &nbsp;I actually preferred all the sandals, too, which just makes me think it's me, rather than the outfits. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479080 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:48:35 +0000 shedev 1479080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good. I like them most with the&nbsp;drapey top and black shell&nbsp;and less with the bodycon tops. The white bottondown looks a little short torso. A vest might help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/culottes--my-version--does-it-makes-sense#post-1479073 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:38:27 +0000 Pree 1479073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been inspired by Angie's recent post about Culottes and the addition of them to the summer capsule recently posted. &nbsp; So I ordered these topshop printed, slightly stiff culottes which hit just over my knee. I think they will work both for work, dressed up and casually.&nbsp; Please look at my renditions to see if they should take a space in my closet.&nbsp; Be honest with which looks work and which don't and what other suggestions have for wearing them. Thanks!!</p> <p>Pic 1: red top (classiques) and pointy toe nude flats<br />Pic 2: Tucked in button up with pumps (work)<br />Pic 3: Leather shell and heeled sandals (dressy dinner)<br />Pic 4- drape front top and and high vamp low heels (too much volume on top and hard to tuck in so shortens leg line<br />Pic 5- Black jersey top and high vamp low heel sandal (paul green)<br />Pic 6- long sleeve top, tights and ankle boots - my attempt to winterize with boots and tights- not sure if this works.&nbsp; </p>
