There’s nothing a pair of lace culottes can’t fix.
THE LOOK | white top (similar), leather jacket c/o, lace culottes (rent here c/o), black heels, black bag c/o, red lips (cruella), celine sunglasses
I’ve worn culottes a few times around these parts (here, here and here), but these lace culottes take the cake. I know they’re pretty feminine (which I love). My first idea was to pair it with a crisp white blouse and call it a day. Ya know, just to keep up with the feminine look. Which would have been fine, but I opted to wear this perfect lightweight leather jacket.
These lace culottes are really perfect for any occasion. I personally love how the lining doesn’t go all the way to the bottom, so you really get the full lace effect. They’re a great, stylish piece that are very appropriate for the office. They could also easily be worn for a night out too! Just trade in the white top for a fun tank and the pointy toe pumps for a pair of strappy open-toe sandals. Also, just for reference, I’m 5’2 and I’m wearing a size 4 (I’m usually a 2-4).
PS: If you’re ever confused or uncertain about a trend, Rent The Runway should be your go-to. Sure, it’s a great source for special occasions like weddings and such. But it’s also a great place to try and test trends before investing in the real deal. I’ve rented so many pieces in the past and then realized that I need those kinds of pieces in my closet. Luckily for you, if you try out these lace culottes, they’re ALSO available to buy (and they’re on sale)!
