How to Style Denim Culottes

Hi Deborah, 

I have been following your site for some years now (from the Netherlands) and enjoy it a lot. I have a question: could you advise how to style denim culottes trend when over 40 or 50?

I bought a beautiful pair in light denim fabric, but am lost knowing how to combine them elegantly with tops. Also, which shoes do I wear with them? It is too warm for long boots still.  I’m afraid of looking like a relic from the seventies (when indeed I also had culottes!) Thanks, Claire

Hi Claire,

It sounds like you are after a casually classic look, so here you go.

The recipe is simple. Take a pair of denim or denim like culottes and combine them with a blue or white shirt. Add some low heel pumps, a bit of jewelry, and a structured bag, and you have a cute denim culottes outfit. Tuck the shirt in to show off your waist and get the right look.

Here’s another cropped denim look with darker denim that would be nice too.
