i believe that the urban outfitters in the UK is different than the US one...

urban outfitters- in the midwest it was the fashion mecca for high school/college kids.

culottes were introduced to me a la josie "grossie" gellar from never been kissed

I really love these, but I live in a small town which is at least 10 years behind the times! So I have to travel if I want to get anything near trendy!

 

[softgrey]

oh dear...well i got mine about 5 years ago...and they certainly weren't trendy then...!!

maybe you could try a thrift/vintage store ?...
they might have some originals from the 70's...that would be cool...B)
where there's a will, there's ALWAYS a way!!!...

I think they only look good on long legs.

I've bought mine at H&M (a year ago), eBay (for denim culottes, sometimes they're called gaucho pants on eBay) and Topshop (grey pirate-style, bought one month ago). Maybe this helps?

I kinda dig culottes..I think they can look really chic or really haughty .. depends on the person.

my mom wore them in the 70s and i always just loved them. i have 3 pairs. 1 pair is by an independent designer and i wore them in ny 5 years ago. it went over very well. which is nice. i also have a pair from wrangler, vintage stuff as usual. and they are amazing, more slouchy and casual.

 

[softgrey]

vintage wrangler culottes sound awesome......

To be honest, culottes/gaucho pants can be quite attractive. Obviously, I'm not a lady, but I tend to like the culottes that have very wide legs. Then, usually paired with tall boots, they are can't miss. I'm not really fond of pairing boots with not really wide-legged gaucho pants. I usually consider flares sexy, especially wide flares. Like look at some of the wide-legged crops here:

Part of fashion's beauty and charm is illusion. And in the sense of these gaucho pants/culottes, the illusion of a skirt that drapes past the knees often makes for a sweet look. And I guess by looking at some celebrity fashion, I've been hooked to the combination of these specific gauchos that extend past the knee, at mid-calf, or just above the ankles. Those are my favorite looks, and I kind of like the look only with long gaucho pants or just past the knees, and wide-legged.
