One of my favorite trends this season is also one of the most polarizing. I’m talking about the culotte! This awkward-chic pant length can ignite revulsion in some, curiosity in others, and love in a small sartorially-savvy sect like yours truly.

Before you balk, before you judge…think of it as the pant version of a midi skirt. You like those right? Evvvvvvveryone likes midi skirts. (Or so the interwebs tell me.)

And you know what’s the best way to try a new trend that intimidates you?
