Fall’s Comfiest Pants: Culottes

One thing I thought I’d never get on board with? Turtlenecks. And another thing? Culottes. First known as fitted silk pants worn by French men, these pants have evolved into a slightly cropped, wide-fitted pant for women that are equally chic and comfortable. I’ve had this pair of burgundy culottes sitting in my closet for almost a year now, and I was too scared to wear such a thing. This year, I finally decided to give them a try. Now I can’t. stop. wearing. them.

Culottes are typically known as comfy pants worn in the summer, but versions have hit the market this season in deep hues, more structured fits, and weightier materials. I scored this deep burgundy pair from Zara, and they’ve proved to be a wonderful addition to my closet for an easy and modern, but comfortable fall look. Y’all, I even wore them to a petroleum lab. Haha! The boys said it looked like I was ready to party like it was 1999.

Here I paired this pant with a simple white turtleneck for an easy and chic, minimalist vibe. With my new favorite fall tassel booties (scored on major sale at 70% off), this outfit is perfect for dinner with friends downtown on a cooler night. I’ve also done it paired with a simple blank tank and some strappy black sandals: another winning number for a night out! If there’s anything to know about downtown Austin, there’s always live music! I can’t help but wanna dance in these comfy, flowy pants! Ready to be a little daring and try out a pair of culottes with me this fall? Whether you’re looking for something eye-catching, party-ready, work-appropriate, or just plain comfortable, I’ve rounded up 20 of my favorite pairs at different price points for the season:

Friendly note from me to you: don’t ever ride a bike in these. I warned y’all here first! Haha! Thanks for stopping by, friends. Are you willing to try the trend? Let me know down below – I love seeing your comments! I can’t wait to tell y’all where I’ll be heading next week. I’ll definitely need your suggestions. Stay tuned!
