Description

Pattern: Vintage Simplicity 9686

My friends and brothers said that my culottes look like a pair of boxers. Maybe I am in complete denial, but I think this pair of culottes might just look all right if I wear it with other complementary clothing items. I am quite determined not to let this pair of culottes that I have painstakingly put together become sleepwear that I will only wear at home. In my own opinion, I think they look ok with my ‘I HEART PARIS’ tee and with the hems folded up (like in the picture below). What do you guys think? Please tell me your most honest opinion!

    I think they’re super cute! If you’re worried about them looking like boxers maybe put some big red or white buttons on the front so they look like double breasted shorts? Also, you could put some sort of detailing like pockets on the back and maybe wear a belt with them?

    I so love it. Reminds me of ME when I was bit younger:) I had similar pants with a little wider stripes and full length. ATTENTION! And your t-shirt goes with it perfectly. Don’t sleep in them, they are too good for that:)
