CUTE!!!! Love them!!!!
I have two pairs - one black and one chocolate brown. Mine aren't jersey but like "pants" like the above pic in grey. I've been wearing mine with brown or black tall boots and I like to wear fishnet type tights in black or espresso colors with them. (doesn't look sl*tty or stupid, honest)
I've seen others wear the same type of thing around my area in Wisconsin but usually women my age or older (I'm mid 30's). This look is great paired with a clingly sweater with a cowl neck and a long beaded type necklace. Too me anyway.

I wanted to bring the gauchos from this post to this post, because they look really nice. They have that look which gives you the illusion of your average past-the-knees skirt. I sometimes see culottes as all-year fashions. And that's what some ladies try to do, make a certain look or trend as a year-round deal. This seems more like a year-round deal to me. I remembered seeing in JCPenney sale papers of cropped career-style pants for juniors, and instead of long boots, some even paired them with flats, so they can be functional outside of fall and winter trends.
Do you see these as an all-year fashion? How about them being the new Bermuda Shorts (remember, I dislike Bermuda shorts)? How about (maybe) the new Capris? My only gripe about culottes/gauchos as all-year fashions is, are the culottes too hot to wear in summer conditions? I don't think these would fit very well as beach fashion, unless someone comes up with sexy, widely-flared gauchos to wear on the beach. They'd have to have lightweight and smooth fabrics.

They don't work for me. I am 5-7, 116 pounds. I feel it makes me look short and stalky. Even with boots or sandals. I DO love how they look on tall models,with killer boots though.
I feel, like the A-line skirt, it makes your eye go outward. So,even with the smallest waist, if you have the slightest amount of curve it takes all of the fabric in that direction.

i just wore a pair of claudie pierlot culottes that were part of my alteration bonanza...
they hadn't seen the light of day in about 6 years...
wore them with a beautiful ruffled yohji white shirt and little sheer navy yohji cardi and some tall MJ black boots to visit my mom on mother's day...
yattah!

oops 
it's from yoox.com (can I edit posts?)
Thye fit perfectly from the back. I think the fact that they sit so high on the waist avoids the saggy bum look.

^oooh, love that. Especially the waistline.. how are they from behind? usually, culottes tend to give a "saggy bum" look
btw, you have to credit that picture, tFS policy
So happy you are still here. Always a comfort to see familiar faces.
This whole forum looks so different (you would think they would fix the UI after all these years.
)
They are Alexander Wang. No idea from which season. I got the from the yoox.com sample sale.
