If you follow me on snapchat (@juliengarman) or know me IRL, youβll know I wear these pants A LOT. Like, once-a-week a lot. Theyβre most definitely my husbandβs least favorite pants I wear, but they might just be my favorites. Hereβs why:
Theyβre so easy to style
Since buying these a few months ago, Iβve styled them SO MANY different ways. In the Fall, Iβve been wearing them with a casual blazer and tee for happy hour, this silk button-up from Equipment with my M.Gemi pumps for work, and with a simple black cashmere turtleneck and loafers when Iβm feeling all french. I was so hesitant to buy these because I thought they might be too crazy to style, but they turned out to be crazy awesome.
They make a statement
Whenever I have a meeting with a brand or potential client, these pants usually follow suit. They exude confidence and I honestly feel like a total BA ever time I slip them on. Theyβre trendy but classic at the same time.
Theyβre a great ice breaker
Itβs so funny how these pants are such a conversation starter. I mean, how can you NOT comment on these? Whether Iβm in the elevator or running into someone in the office, people are actually drawn to them! Theyβll start off, βOh I love your pants,β and Iβm all, βhaha thanks, theyβre my crazy pants.β We laugh, go our separate ways. Itβs all about making that connection with someone.
Theyβre comfortable
Culottes = heaven. Theyβre wide enough to let a little air in on a humid day (RIP SUMMER) but long enough to keep most of your legs covered. Theyβre high waisted too, cinching at the smallest part of your waist and allowing for all the flatter.
So there you have it! If that doesnβt convince you to give them a try, Iβd recommend using Lyon + Post to try on a pair for yourself! Thatβs how I found these! Itβs free to use, you try 4 pieces at a time and you even get to pick your own pieces. And they price match! You can use my personal invite to get $30 off your first purchase too! ;)
