Trolling for denim shorts I found these denim culottes. I think they work, but could also go horribly, horribly wrong.

What do you think?
Yay - yes they work
Nay - compound escapee

Exactly.

They could be fabulous if the pleats - which are not sewn down on the waist - behave themselves. I LOVE the wash and the length. Only one way to find out, Anna. I vote yay. xo

Yeah, I could see them going wildly wrong or really right. If anyone could style them to fabulosity, it would be you, Anna.

I like the wash, but the distressing is so weirdly placed. That gives me pause too. Still, they may be worth a try to see them styled.

hmm... I'm voting nay unless styled very very very minimally. I think they might create a bit of difficulty on the shoe front, both proportionally and in terms of vibe/design -- mainly because of the distressing.

I like them, but with reservations. I am kicking myself for having finally donated a pair of similar shaped and length khaki-coloured raw silk ones that I thrifted way back in the 90s and kept for a long, long time unworn. But I have to admit that footwear posed real challenges with them, which is one reason I never wore them much.

Love the colour of these for you.

Whelp, I'm feeling adventurous and ordered them. They appealed to my whackadoodle side.
Should be here later in the week.
This is what happens when call isn't busy enough. I find trouble.

If almost anyone else asked, I would hesitate. But you have the fashion forward style and wardrobe to make these work. I am glad you are giving them a try!

Can't wait to see how you style them - hope they work.

Egads, I initially thought the distressing was instead embroidered butterflies. I think I need to get my eyes checked. But I do agree that if anyone could make these work, it is you, Anna.

Anna- agree with others. Not an easy task, but a challenge you can embrace. Glad you went for it. Well worth a try. If they work for you, the possibilities are awesome.

I vote yay because I think they can be really cool, if they lie flat on the body. Can't wait to see if these work out.

I am having a culottes moment. I just got back my tailored to culotte length thrifted wide leg pants and will try to take a picture soon. So in short, I can't wait to see what you do with these!

Oh wow! Can't wait to see them styled! I also agree with others that the footwear can make or break this look. I have been pinning a few looks, although not denim culottes, if you are interested.

I really like cullottes but usually a more tailored look. Maybe I shouldn't comment because I don't like really pale denim and standing alone they look kind of old fashioned. I can see little girls with triangle headscarfs and pigtails... BUT i am not as creative as you so Anna I say give them a shot. I would like to see them styled a la Anna.

It's not the style but the wash I don't love. If anyone can make them work it's you. Oh and I thought the same thing as Echo!

Only you, Anna! I suspect that seeing your styling will redeem my view of culottes.
