I've spoke about my fondness for culottes before. They are a style of pant that I favor as much for style as for comfort and versatility. Wear them with a cool graphic tee and sneakers or sandals for an effortlessly casual look or pair them with an elegant or tailored blouse and heels like the ladies above did for NYFW and they are instantly appropriate for work or an event. I'm loving how one outfit here is serving up minimalist chic while the other is boldly colorful with feminine details. The latter definitely speaks to me a bit more just because I find wearing color to be such a mood booster and I don't wear white. I don't even own any white clothing because it's just too high maintenance to keep clean for me.
