Culottes

Culottes are trousers that look like a skirt: a high waist, a very wide leg and a length somewhere between knee and calf. They appeared in the 1930s as a divided skirt for cycling and for the beach, pleated all the way round like a pleated skirt. Our vintage style culottes are newly made by House of Foxy, Pretty Vacant, Emmy Design, King Louie and Circus Clothing, with a size chart on every product page.

The fabrics are light and fluid: linen, cotton, viscose and ramie, in plain colours such as red, olive, sand and aqua or with a print. Depending on the style there are front pleats, side pockets, belt loops, wooden buttons or an elasticated back waistband. In summer culottes feel as airy as a skirt and still let you move freely.

Other cuts: Marlene trousers with a long, wide leg and high waisted jeans, with every style under vintage style trousers. They go well with puff sleeve blouses, tops and cardigans. If you would rather try things on, you can visit our shop in Windsbach by appointment.
