Fuck me there are a lot of culottes in the sales

[GravityFalls]

Culottes, cropped trousers, wide-leg crops...nobody wants these, do they? Not least because if you’re not wearing sandals nothing works with them (no not ankle boots, you look like you got dressed in the dark or grew six inches during the day).

Oh christ, I bought some today in Zara. I love them though, they're smart! Hadn't really thought about shoes though. Trainers with everything.

I have a pair that I love in the summer but I agree, I've never figured out if anything other than sandals is possible.

I can see why noone wants them

Wide legged trousers are great in the summer, I wear mine with sandals and loafers. In winter you need knee high socks and lace up shoes. Or knee high boots. But that 1970s vibes is fabulous wanders off thread to find new knee highs in the sale.

Oh no I love mine! And I wear them with ankle boots🙊 I googled it and it said it is fashionable?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think they're awful. Wide trousers should never be short, it looks like you grew out of them! Not surprised the sales are full of them.

It wasn’t a good look last time round either.

Short trousers with knee high socks? 😱
I'm so glad I'm not fashionable

I love my wool culottes with my knee high boots at this time of year...and I'm a short arsed size 18 so ner!

The key with culottes, wide leg & cropped wide leg trousers is a nicely fitted waist and hip. Otherwise it’s too much material everywhere! (& often unflattering...)

I wear mine a lot, in summer and winter. Ankle boots or knee night boots depending upon the length of them. As long as the top balances the bottom, I think they are flattering.

Because they are fugly

I love mine! The shake works really well on me. I have indigo denim ones I wear with woolly tights and Doc Martens, and black tailored ones I wear to work with sheer tights and brogues.

Wide trousers should never be short, it looks like you grew out of them!

I think it works for some people, but definitely not for me. I have really long legs and I would look like I hadn’t been able to get a pair to fit me

I love them and I disagree!

I wear with trainers (wear everything with trainers tbh) or brogues and socks, or ankle boots (if a shorter cut or) knee boots.

Another fan here care to share any links??

I love them too. So comfortable. Don't care if they are fashionable or not. I have often had people (much more stylish people than me) compliment me on them, so I'm assuming they look OK.

They can look great but they really have to fit right and be the right length for your height. One of my DDs looks good in them - she has a quite straight up and down figure, with a flat bottom.

I love mine.. Wear them with tights and various ankle boots. They really do suit me.

I have some summer ones too.. I really like them. I wear mine with sandals.

Knee high boots or sock boots work for me

What are sock boots @Scabetty?

These, close fitting boots.

I dug a pair out of the drawer yesterday and am now hunting for another pair - never worn them in winter before but worked really well with boots

Get some for summer while they're cheap! I love them. I have a fab pair from Fat Face. They're so soft and comfy, and I can dress them up and down. Roll on summer!
