Here’s how to wear them"},"content":{"rendered":"\n\n\n

Scoot your skinny jeans<\/a> to the back of the closet, wide legs are making their way back to the forefront. And not just any wide silhouette, the cropped kind, to be exact. Grandma’s culottes have gotten a serious style upgrade and the slimming high-waist, wide leg combo is about to be a spring and summer staple. Easy and comfortable just like the seasons, this silhouette is going to be taking the place of all of your capris once the sun starts shining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a pair of culottes to sub in for your denim, your work trouser, and even special occasion options. So, keep your eyes peeled at trend and basics shops alike. Sites like Everlane have already worked them into their latest capsule collection, which means you can snag three shades at once. Break up your bulk order with the purchase of a few soft and stretch fabrics or embellished options \u2014 and you won’t need any another silhouette until fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve handpicked six options below to suit any mood and budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
