Culottes/long shorts/jorts wiw6.12.26

I've been messing around with orders/returns for a pair of long wide not-really-shorts for quite some time. I don't really care for a long straight Bermuda - I have a pair that I wear at home but they don't really give the look I want. I don't understand nor like the word "jorts" so I avoided those too - LOL. Cropped wide legs weren't right either.....and I finally landed on what Old Navy calls a slouchy wide leg culotte . Even that took an order and exhange for a smaller size before I was satisfied. They were Old Navy - cheap and that made me quite happy as who knows how long this look will stick. I've had them for a couple of months now and finally wore them today for the first time with a BR cotton poplin-ish zip front top. I love BR for their off-beat tops but the pricing on some of this stuff kills me. I've had this one for quite awhile but it needed some "customization " that I finally got done the other day.

Anyways - I felt pretty good in this outfit - although I'm not sold on the shoes and jewellery. I can't keep buying new black footwear for every possible occasion and look though, so these will do for now. SUPER comfortable , and although the chunkiness may not be current, I like the height l get . I have my eye on some jewellery from a local company called Sunday Feel that specializes in sterling silver interesting pieces. My jewellery is feeing kind of meh at the moment and I may invest in a some of this line later this summer.

The other long short/culotte I bought and love are these below from Gap. Linen blend with a drawstring waist. Very flowy and fun - wore them to work with a linen architectural -ish cut top and loved the outfit.

fisherman sandals - Quince
earrings - DConstruct
bag - old Prada I couldn't give away - hahaha

I love how the new shorts look on you, perfect fit and length and the denim will be so versatile to dress up or down. I also like it paired with the chunky sandal which pairs so well with the top to my eye. Bravo!

And I was nodding along with the search for the perfect summer bottoms. I've spent the past few years trying different lengths and materials for shorts (bermuda, cotton, linen, chino, denim, cuffed, no cuff, etc) and pants (linen, wide leg, straight leg, chino, etc) and finally landed on chino material and a straight non cuffed style for both pants and shorts this season. It was quite the search these past few years to figure out what I like best at this point in my style journey.

Oh, wow, I love this, so architectural and cool. I actually love the current earrings with it from what I can see. You look great!

This is great, Lisa! The culottes or whatever you want to call them look fantastic on you -- great fit! And isn't it great when Old Navy comes through with a version of something that actually works at a price a person can afford? This is the way I like my jorts/ denim culottes to fit as well -- a little slouch, A line, and below the knee. I think it works here with the sandal and I also love the BR top. You are right that their regular prices are through the roof but on sale not so bad considering the style quotient of their recent offerings. Olive is so good on you.

This is one of my favorite outfits you have posted. It all looks great together. The chunky sandals are great.
I hear you on Banana Republic. If it’s not on sale it is sky high.

I think you have found your summer style.

ETA the jewelry you are looking at is edgy and suits your style.
