how to make culottes work for work

Culottes has always been a thing for me. A huge thing. Here I go again with my Opening Ceremony trousers (worn here last week). But today, I wanted to share with you on how to make this pant silhouette work for work. I don’t fancy the traditional fitted straight leg pants for work anymore. I’m all for the wide leg with the hem right above my ankles. It looks amazing styled with a traditional button-down shirt or a sleeveless look with a waistcoat (here) and sleeveless blouse (here). Don’t be afraid to go wider too (like here).  Work doesn’t have to be traditional, it could be a fun runway too. Fashionistas of Japan has this silhouette perfected to the t.
