The Item Everyone's Going to Be Buying Next Season!

Spring is upon us, that shoulder season between that cozy, bundled look and the easy-breezy vibes of summer. Need some help navigating the balance in a super chic way? Here it is: The Leather(ette) Culotte.

Yes, it may take a minute to adjust your mindset, but the leather pant is outgrowing it’s rock concert roots (and, yes, of course it’s still a super legit chic look to pair that classic tight pair with a vintage tee and boots to see the Stones).

The right-now look is a looser, more modern approach: high-waisted, sometimes pleated, with either a relaxed leg, a wide leg or a crop flare. When it’s full-fledged summer, it’s culotte or Bermuda all the way!

The style is everywhere in the fashion world/among influencers, and now you get to be the the trend-setter and bring it to your world! (See the penultimate Bottega Veneta ones below for validation, as well as street snaps for the multitude of other inspos)

You know we love versatility, so here are your tips: For a casual look, wear the slouchy trousers in the daytime with sneakers (our sneaker picks here) and a tee/turtleneck/sweatshirt; for work, wear with a black boot and chunky sweater; for dinner, pair with a silk blouse tucked in and heels or a cami and blazer.

Happy Shopping!
