Even amidst a relentless European heatwave, short-shorts and denim cut-offs don’t always have a place in the summer wardrobe. While it may be appropriate for casual jaunts and afternoons at home, city strolls and balmy evenings call for a silhouette altogether more sophisticated. The culotte is a tailored trouser-short hybrid with a wide leg that cuts at the mid-calf; longer than a Bermuda and not quite a trouser, it allows for daytime wear while transitioning seamlessly to dinner reservations. Look to off-whites, beige and florals while temperatures soar, swapping-in leather iterations when autumn arrives. Here, MOJEH rounds-up the culottes to shop now.
