I vote don't wait until fall. Just pair with lightweight, summer-colored pieces. At the very least you could actually wear these from spring-fall here; they look like a great transitional piece, and like they'd be good on cooler summer days too. My favorites here are #5, 7/8 (the moody shades in an obviously summer outfit, fun!) and 9/10 (light gray and white look nicely summery).</p> <p>I have some rust colored bottoms that I like to wear in the summer, even though it's not a typical summer shade; I usually pair with white, pale blue, blush, graphic black and white, black with lots of skin showing, or with BRIGHT colors (like red).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670838 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 18:37:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1670838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, good point--I think the color is more of a fall one, too, which may be why I'm having a hard time thinking how to wear them right now. The fabric is very light, and I don't think I'd wear them too long into fall, because they would feel cold. So, perhaps quite limited wear possibilities. . . .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670813 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 17:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 1670813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sweet eye for culottes and I like outfit #6 the best because the dainty footwear works really well with them.<br /> I would love to see this colour paired with blush or pink.<br /> I do find that they look like a fall colour, which makes me think less highly of them. But if the fabric is lightweight and summery, then I think they're sufficiently summery.<br /> Not sure if any of this helps.<br /> The short of it is that I love the silhouette and drape of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670779 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:47:53 +0000 catgirl 1670779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! I don't see dusty rose either and I'm glad - it's a color I wore all the time in high school not realizing how truly terrible it is on me.</p> <p>Below image from Internet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670734 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:50:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1670734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I appreciate hearing your reasoning and which looks seem to work better or less well in your eyes. Your comments on the color are instructive, too. I agree, it's a variation on burgundy, a muted one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670725 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:31:45 +0000 AviaMariah 1670725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them with 7/8 &amp; 9. I’m not so crazy about them with the darker<br /> tops but maybe that’s just summer speak.<br /> I think the asymmetrical hems in 7 &amp; 9 really make them look<br /> current. I like 11 and 12 the least and<br /> I think it’s the straight hems. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670720 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:23:07 +0000 RobinF 1670720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are nice and flowy on you. I like #9 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670711 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:14:06 +0000 Anonymous 1670711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I expected a pastel dusty pink when I saw the words "dusty rose"! &nbsp;It's a different colour than we're used to seeing on you - I like them best with the white &nbsp;and the denim blue top. They are flattering and look good on you . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670702 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 15:02:55 +0000 Elle 1670702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! &nbsp;I also like them best with shorter or semi tucked tops - like #4 and #6. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'll bet these look even better when you are moving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670664 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:45:52 +0000 Angie 1670664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs Up. You've styled the burgundy culottes beautifully, Sharan. My faves are #4, 5, 6, 12 with the white sandals, and 13. Nice wild card.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670644 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:26:59 +0000 Helena 1670644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670636 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:12:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1670636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with others that call the color more burgundy. But whatever they care called, I think these have fabulous potential Sharan.</p> <p>IMHO they look best with tops that are lighter in color, have some soft drape but not excessive volume, and aren't too long. I absolutely love the outfits in pics 6, 7 and 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670634 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:11:00 +0000 BrieN 1670634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz. I really like them and think the color is great on you. I think it goes well with both lighter and darker tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670609 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:30:54 +0000 Aquamarine 1670609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the untucked tops, giving them a more skirt-like appearance as they seem very voluminous for your frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670606 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:26:44 +0000 Tanya 1670606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are great culottes and I would also call them more of the burgundy.&nbsp; I like the styled with shorter or semi-tucked tops, such as #4,6, 7, 9 and 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670584 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 11:48:45 +0000 Suz 1670584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh. I <b>love </b>them!! (Though I would also call them burgundy...)&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway...I like them best with the hi-low tops or a semi tuck (6/7, 8/9, 10). &nbsp;Really interesting with the long over long Missoni-esque sweater too but I might prefer that with boots/ tights as a moving into autumn look.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, where on earth can I get me one of those denim tops in #7?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670580 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 11:42:50 +0000 Jaime 1670580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your hair longer. #6 and #7 look great. I love the color, but cannot say whether they are a worthwhile buy - not one of my strong points! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670551 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 09:35:22 +0000 Anonymous 1670551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be honest, my first thought was eh not so sure, but they could grow on me. Like Sally, I do like them more with some tops than others. Pics I like best are 6, 9 and 10. Think you need to show some skin on the top half. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670550 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 09:18:38 +0000 El Cee 1670550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them on you, especially as you have styled them in #6, #7/8, and #9. The color is flattering on you. They have potential and you've successfully built a capsule for them, but will you reach for them over other pieces in your wardrobe? (I always ask myself this question, especially regarding a wild card, when evaluating whether or not I will keep a piece).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670517 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 06:25:50 +0000 Sal 1670517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with some of your tops, and not so much with others.</p> <p>7/8 and 9 are my picks, followed by 10. &nbsp;I think with these they look swishy, elegant and fashionable. &nbsp;I am not so keen with the black tops or with the semi tucked white, nor the long sleeve white.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dusty-rose-culottes#post-1670515 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 06:19:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1670515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them also and I agree with Rachylou.

I was drawn to them because I liked the style and color, but I couldn't immediately picture what I would wear them with. <br />&nbsp;I am not sold on them, although I do still like the style and color. My uncertainties:<br />1. I'm not sure I have the right pieces to go with them at the moment. There are three pieces of fabric in my sewing queue that could go with them, waiting to be made up into tops. But those are <i>notional </i>tops, not <i>actual </i>tops in my wardrobe.<br />2. I prefer not to buy pieces that don't go with things I've made, and these culottes seem to look best with things I've bought, not made myself.<br />3. They are kind of expensive for a wild card that might not get worn that much. I could return them and see if they go on sale (quite likely, I would imagine). <br />4. I could make them, though I would not find quite this fabric or color.<br />5. Am I comfortable with this color on my lower half? Usually I wear neutral bottoms and color in my tops. </p> <p>Here they are with several tops and shoe choices, otherwise unstyled.<br />1-2: with black drapey tee, blue jean jacket, black nubuck heeled sandals<br />3-4: with cropped eggplant cutout top and black nubuck sandals or metallic lace-up Mary Janes<br />5: w/ gray linen cowl-neck layered vest and metallic lace-up Mary Janes<br />6: w/ cream drapey tee, nude pumps and clutch<br />7-8: w/ denim blue high-low tank top and metallic peep-toe sandals<br />9: w/ stone linen high-low tank and metallic peep-toe sandals<br />10-11: w/ cream crinkled shell and cardi and cream &amp; taupe lace-up sandals<br />12: w/ cream asymmetrical linen top and two-tone sandals or metallic peep-toe booties<br />13-14: w/ black drapey tee and missoni-esque cardigan and black nubuck heeled sandals<br />15: w/ floral mesh knit tunic and black nubuck sandals</p> <p>I would like to hear any thoughts you care to share! (Please try to ignore the lack of proper underpinnings with some of these see-through tops.) <br />Thanks for looking! </p>
