Period. 1326366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad that Angie said yay on all of the short versions. &nbsp;That's exactly what I was thinking. &nbsp;They just look FANTASTIC on you. &nbsp;You really are Queen Culotte! &nbsp;</p> <p>Now, I'm veering off topic, but...where did you get that shirt in 1/2/3? &nbsp;I LOVE it! &nbsp;I want one like it. &nbsp;Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326350 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 18:41:43 +0000 annagybe 1326350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the outfit with the blue ones and Okalas.&nbsp;<br />I think the flatforms are throwing off the look on the white ones. I think they have potential.<br />Like Diana, I want the black ones shorter.<br />Dang you are weakening my resolve for austerity August.

I confess I don't think they're culottes, but they're close enough (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326233 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:47:18 +0000 Diana 1326233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy pair best, at the shorter length.&nbsp; To my eye, the white pair is not wide enough (I am of the opinion that the wider and more dramatic the culotte, the better, though), and I'd prefer the black to be even shorter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326188 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:59:35 +0000 Jaime 1326188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Culotte! I hope my queendom grows.&nbsp;<br />Hmm, maybe I should try the Okalas with all of them. The flatforms may not be doing them justice. Thank you everyone for your input - I have to run but I will do some more experimenting asap!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326148 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:32:35 +0000 Angie 1326148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Culotte, darling Jaime.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the culotte styles at the shorter lengths you have pinned them at. The blue pair looks especially killer because of the shape and height of the shoes. The Okalas tend to look magical with anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326121 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:03:35 +0000 jackiec 1326121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm terrible with lengths, but must add that I absolutely LOVE the cobalt Zara ones on you. Keep for sure. They look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326067 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:54:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1326067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh WOW Jaime - the first outfit with the bright cobalt, white and cognac is just positively GORGEOUS! I really like all three pairs of culottes at the shorter length you've pinned them to. Beautiful pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326054 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:37:53 +0000 Suz 1326054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are gorgeous on you! I adore the cobalt ones just as you shortened them. What a fantastic outfit with the Okalas and the Zara top.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the linen ones, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Denise about the white. It might be that the fabric isn't quite drapey enough with those? Not sure. But they would certainly work a bit shorter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326051 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:34:20 +0000 Anonymous 1326051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love your culotte looks in the shorter lengths. I even like the way the pinned, unpressed hems look. You have the perfect footwear and fluid tops to finish the looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326044 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 12:22:45 +0000 kerry 1326044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh! You really rock culottes - love them on you! I'm no help with hem lengths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326027 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 11:58:52 +0000 Mona 1326027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, do keep the Zara ones. They look lovely on you and I like how you have styled them with okalas and diagonal sleeve white top. I think the length needs to be a couple of inches shorter than in #2 but i am no expert. Hope Angie chimes in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326024 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 11:58:18 +0000 Jaime 1326024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for very much&nbsp;your thoughts everyone!&nbsp;<br />Denise that is a good idea about making the white ones even shorter - I saw something somewhere (I know that doesn't sound very helpful) with wide white shorts and I liked it.&nbsp;<br />VernieJane and Viva I agree the blue ones are closest to the new look in culottes, which makes sense since they are fresh from Zara.<br />Neel and Frannieb you are too kind - thank you!<br />I am enjoying looking at all the great culotte links Inge posted earlier, but have yet to find a universal length or width for what is called a culotte!</p> <p>ETA Yes, I do hope Angie chimes in Mona! But I appreciate all your opinions, thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1326003 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 11:38:17 +0000 viva 1326003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really know anything at all about culottes so I won't give you any technical advice.

No help I know! They are all beautiful especially with your shoe choices. Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1325974 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 09:26:44 +0000 VernieJane 1325974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue ones are cute, especially with those shoes! The white ones are really cute too, but seem a bit too long? The last ones (black?) I think look too baggy. </p> <p>Love the idea of culottes with those heels though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1325958 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 07:16:52 +0000 CocoLion 1325958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree there is a fine line between culottes and full leg cropped trousers! &nbsp;Fortunately both are on trend.</p> <p>The navy ones look perfect at the length you pinned them to be in picture 1. &nbsp;The last pair, the linen ones, look good shortened too. &nbsp;Not as sure about the white pair though, they don't look as modern as the other ones. &nbsp;The leg might need to be fuller for culottes? &nbsp;What about making them shorter, to knee or just below the knee length for a long short look? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ive-gone-culotte-crazy---question-about-length#post-1325949 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 07:03:01 +0000 Jaime 1325949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to experiment with new trouser silhouettes and culottes appeal to me in a big way. Although my favorites will always be the ones I wore when&nbsp;I met Angie and Aida for the first time, I was eager to expand my selection.<br />I love the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-cream-culottes-at-cm">Club Monaco culottes</a> Angie posted but since CM does not ship here and they are a bit pricey, I looked around locally for some alternatives.</p> <p>I assumed I would have to shorten whatever I found and I would love some input about where to hem. I have attempted to show each pair full length and one shortened option - folded under in a sloppy way but I hope you get the idea.&nbsp;<br />#1 -3 I combed through what was left of the Zara sale and found these cobalt trousers on super discount. Do they work as culottes? What about the length I tried?&nbsp;Original length in #3.<br />#4 and 5 I really wanted white culottes and found these at a second hand store for even less that the Zara sale price! They are by a local boutique brand. Original length in #5.&nbsp;Same questions - do they work and what about the length.<br />#4 I dug out these linen wide leg pants in another second hand shop&nbsp;(what is the fine line between wide leg cropped pants and culottes?). What do you think? I just hiked them up to show a shorter length in #6, #7 is original length.<br />Thanks for your feedback, none of these were a big investment so feel free to say whatever you think.</p> </p>
