The Culotte Jeans

Ya girl loves a culotte, so I had to buy! I’m usually a solid size 24, but I sized up to a 25 (can’t remember whether or not this was intentional) and liked how the size 25 fit. A bit loose but in a comfy way— I hate when high-waisted pants are tight in the crotch/belly area. For reference, my measurements are 24in waist, 31in high hip, 35in low hip/seat. At my height these were longer than proper culotte length, so now that I own them, I’ll be getting them hemmed a few inches shorter! Great quality denim that is soft but holds its shape. Very minimal stretch.

This is definitely not something I’d normally wear, but my mom used to rock culottes and I’ve always loved them on other people. My rule is if a piece fits one of my “style words,” it still feels authentic and these hit the androgynous one for me. I kept the styling simple to make them feel more me. Mary Janes worked, but my friend was right…a chunky loafer would’ve been even better. They were fun to wear and a little silly because of my height (I’m 5’6”; they’d probably suit someone closer to 5’4”), but in that ironic dad-sneaker kind of way. They do run small though (read the other reviews!) I’m usually a 24 in Joe’s, sized up to a 25, and they were still snug, especially in the crotch. You could safely go up two sizes. I’d love to try them again with kitten-heel thongs or short boots…why not rent the fun stuff?

Like other reviewer said they are a bit snug, I like the cut as an alternative. They have a softest stretch so comfy.

Not the best. Great length and good style. Flattened my already flat bootie. Fine around the waist, but tight in the crotch. No give. Maybe a size up would be better, but I believe they would be too baggy. Still fashionable.

great fit for me! was worried about size

Very cute one, but need to up size because the waist is smaller. Nomally i wear size 0 but this one i rent size 2 and fit nicely

I'm usually a 10/12 and these did NOT want to button. Didn't wear.

My natural waist measures 31” and I typically wear a size 29 in most denim brands. I ordered the 30 per other recommendations, and these were wearable but uncomfortable for all day. I would reccomend ordering up 2 full sizes from your usual.

The fit itself was perfect even though I'd sized up just in case. The shade and feel of the denim isn't quite for me and, because I'm petite height, the bottom looks awkward instead of stylish. Falls just a little too low. My kid said he might be embarrassed if I wore them in public with him. Anyway, size up if you're thinking of trying these out!

I got my normal size which is generally a little loose. These were sooo tight.
