They&nbsp;are my current number 1 greedy eyeball item. Aida maybe you should try them on and take some pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1324247 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 23:53:57 +0000 Caro in Oz 1324247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this - silly me. They are gorgeous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1324161 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 22:38:46 +0000 Aida 1324161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit surprised that the lining peeks through; it doesn't bother me too much in your photos, wonder how I would feel about it in person. That definitely needs hemming for us shorties though. Hmm with that taper, for myself I might get that shortened quite&nbsp;a lot higher (like top of the calf) so that the hem opening is more flared. Thanks for sharing these photos Ann, really helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1323278 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:28:44 +0000 Angie 1323278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ann. GREAT that you tried them on. I&nbsp;didn't mind the lining peeking through&nbsp;in the cream. They are a good 3 inches too long for you though. Hemming would significantly improve proportions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1323127 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:30:51 +0000 unfrumped 1323127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are delicious.<br />I would love to be able to wear either&nbsp; &nbsp;long dressy shorts or &nbsp;culottes as a skirt alternative. Not sure about appropriateness,&nbsp;proportions and footwear (for my setting).&nbsp; Also, seasonal confusion is an issue for my temperature control. So they might only work for fun-fashion capsule, for which, alas, I'd need to start having more fun. But worth pondering.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1323115 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:17:38 +0000 Gigi 1323115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dashielle, thanks for linking back to this post from Angie's culottes blog post today...I didn't realize you had tried the CM ones on! Thank you for that.</p> <p>I am short too, and I would expect to have to hem these culottes about 2 inches to have them work on my height. (I have noticed that petite maxi skirts are generally 3 inches shorter than their misses' equivalent, so I'm guesstimating 2 inches for something midi length.)&nbsp;If I try these on at CM, I will take along my heeled boots (Aquatalia Rhumbas) and roll up the pant legs and then see if I like it. However, the rise may be too long, as is often the case with misses' pants on me.</p> <p>Too bad about the show-through lining. I wonder if they're all like that? I suppose a person would have to wear white leggings underneath. It's frustrating when manufacturers can't design clothing without these issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1322721 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 03:14:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1322721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I wonder if I could wear culottes with my new boots. (Or my old ones, in black, for that matter.) They are not heeled, and not especially tailored. Come to think of it, I might look like something off the set of a bad Western movie. <br />I haven't even gotten around to making myself any track pants yet, and here is another pant style to aspire to. . . .<br />Oh, and I was at Pacific Place this weekend and didn't even think to go into Club Monaco. Where was my mind? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1322699 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 02:41:27 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1322699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took one for the team today and tried these on in an 8. Too long for my 5'2" frame. Stumpifying or not, there is a design flaw in the lining connecting the pocket across the fly area. Very visible show through when on :-(. See the close up shot. Black would be fine, I'm sure. The blush ones are a light satiny fabric. Definitely dressier. Didn't try those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1321774 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 22:06:20 +0000 Angie 1321774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew these would grow on you, Janet. Your sarong shorts and Culotte-Light.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gigi, the contrast is less of an issue here in my mind. It's the heeled and&nbsp;tailored tall boot that will make all the difference - like your Aquatalia Rumbas.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, Lyn. I have ANCIENT tailored black knee-high boots that will work perfectly with these cream culottes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1321770 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 22:01:22 +0000 Lyn D. 1321770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look and sound as though they could easily be worn across seasons with suitable foot/leg wear. I can picture your styling idea in my head beautifully Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm/page/2#post-1321769 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:59:24 +0000 Gigi 1321769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dashielle, I was wondering the same thing myself! :)</p> <p>Angie, if boots are worn with the culottes, is it best to keep the boot color low contrast to the culottes if you are short? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321766 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:57:05 +0000 Janet 1321766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, when we first started seeing culottes fringe trending, I felt kind of meh about it, but they're growing on me. I wore them years ago. I doubt I'd do a light color, but maybe, if the trend has some longevity, I'd try a pair in a darker shade like charcoal. They might be easier to dress down than skirts. I do enjoy my Zara sarong shorts, which have a similar vibe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321759 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:53:03 +0000 Angie 1321759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten the length and wear with heels, Ann.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321758 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:52:09 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1321758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea, but not sure if it would totally "stumpify" someone my size! &nbsp;Thoughts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321640 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 19:04:54 +0000 Vicki 1321640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute in both colors, and, like Aida, I was thinking tall boots, too, if the need for warmth was a factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321590 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:28:42 +0000 karymk 1321590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat transitional piece.

Culottes are a must have for me for fall. &nbsp;Just decided that yesterday after Anna's pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321511 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 14:52:04 +0000 Angie 1321511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Joy. These culottes are very refined. This is CM after all. xo</p> <p>Greyscale, I find CM online orders take<i> forever</i> - probably because we live in the US (it's a Canadian store). But their store service is impeccable - at least - the one in Seattle is. One of my favourite stores for sure. I LOVE CM.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sveta, you wear a size 10. You are not sized out. They are ABSOLUTELY going to fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Eliza, sure cream booties will work. With nude hose, Lisap.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would wear these with tall&nbsp;sleek black&nbsp;boots and a tucked&nbsp;black turtleneck - maybe a black moto.&nbsp;Easy.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321441 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 12:04:16 +0000 Anonymous 1321441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is exciting. The culottes are a slimmer shape than the ones I wore in the 80's and look more refined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321436 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 11:27:27 +0000 Laura 1321436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for 2014 fashion!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321434 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:53:15 +0000 Eliza 1321434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear. Those do look great. Footwear question: love the cream on cream look with the model's boots. Are booties totally stumpifying with this look? I have cream booties, thanks to an Angie's pick. </p> <p>Of course, I am not really asking though, as I am shopped out- or should be. In my climate, these could be quite nice for early to mid-fall. Seems warmer than a skirt. </p> <p>Thanks, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321411 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 06:22:41 +0000 CocoLion 1321411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for culottes! &nbsp;A fresh silhouette. &nbsp;I personally prefer them not done up too 70s though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321410 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 06:21:27 +0000 Neel 1321410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow wow wow!

Unfortunately, I just discovered that my local Club Monaco store is closed for renovations. I haven't ordered from them online but there were a few tempting things this season. </p> <p>I could see you in those cream pants with tall boots... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321394 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 05:02:58 +0000 Sveta 1321394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think blush and navy are wider than cream and black. I would love to get a pair too but unfortunately I am sized out of CM in bottoms :-(<br />Angie, would you style them the same way as midi skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm#post-1321145 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 22:32:42 +0000 Thistle 1321145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!
