It’s time for another edition of BN Style: How to Rock! The trend we are looking at today, is a quirky mash-up of shorts and trousers – Culottes.
These fab pair of pants are one of the most stylish pants out there right now and feature wide-rimmed hems and a tiny waist. Also called Gaucho Pants, they are a great accessory to make a stylish statement this Summer.
One of the reasons why we love this trend is because of it’s uber-chic nature and the fact that we can show off our legs and fab heels while rocking it.
So if you’ve seen this trend around and wondered just how to wear it, we are here to help. Check out 5 tips to help you rock the trend!
Rejoice!
1. Rock it with a Crop TopA major aspect of the Cullotes that has us loving it is its high waist – this makes it easier to rock it with a crop top. If you know you’re not ready to go abs-out in your crop top, try rocking it now with some Culottes.
They provide just enough coverage and exposure to balance your outfit out and still look chic. Just ask Fisayo Longe of MirrorMe in her fab monochrome striped crop top and her ASOS Culottes in white.

You can also steal Ranti Onayemi of RantiInReview‘s style with her white crop top that covers just enough to still work for an official event.

2. Cover Up & Take it to the OfficeCulottes can also work for the work place; all you have to do is cover it up for a more professional look. We think the culottes can add a very chic edge to your look making you the centre of attention as you make your presentation.
Check out how Kela Walker of KelasKloset rocked her dark blue Zara culottes with a turtle neck and a leather jacket draped over her shoulders.

We also love Stella Uzo of J’AdoreFashion‘s satin culottes. They are chic and soft and can work great for the office.

3. Get Fab ShoesBecause of how high these pants are, you’ve got to make sure your shoe game is on point! This is your chance to make sure your Louboutins and fave shoes get the most shine because they will be on display.
Take a cue from Cherly of OhToBeAMuse and her fab Valentino Calf Hair Studded Heels.

Or from Nigerian fashion blogger Toun Ajibade of Tounaj.blogspot in her chic deep blue pants from her store and some gorge Louboutins.

4. Add some Colour, Texture & PrintIf you want tot rock the culottes in a simple way but still leave a lasting impression, try adding some texture, colour and prints to your look.
You can go for culottes that are bold and attention-grabbing like Soraya De Carvalho of StyleIsMyThing‘s fab Paper London pants.
