Trend To Try: Chic Culottes

by Jessica Amento

Mark our words: everyone will be wearing culottes in the coming months. A fresh pant option that can play both business and casual, they most recently caught our eye as part of Derek Lam’s pre-fall 2014 collection. To channel a like-minded look, all you need are chic culottes, a cropped leather jacket and a few standout accessories. Below, we show you how it’s done!
