It seems to me there was just a thread regarding this, and if there was please forgive me. I cannot find it.
After seeing numerous threads with outfits featuring culottes, capris, ankle pants and/or bermudas, I am confused. What is the definition of each?
In my mind, culottes were a skirt-like version of capri length pants with a flowy silhouette. Capris were the just past the knee or mid calf length pants. Ankle pants were longer, hitting just above the ankle bone, and commonly tapered (they remind me of what they used to call pedal pushers, sometimes with little slits at the bottom side seams). And bermudas were knee-length shorts, but still considerably shorter than capris or any of the others.
But it seems my definitions are outdated. Are the terms used interchangeably now? Does it just depend on what the designer or brand calls them? Are there any true definitions of the terms now? What do they mean in your head?
The pictures below typify the pictures in my head of the following items: ankle pants; capris, culottes, Bermudas.
