Summer ready: Culottes + Denim

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Denim jacket: J Brand at Fenwick (buy similar from Mango here). Top: £29.99, Mango. Culottes: Atterley Road. Heels: £59.95, Moda In Pelle. Bag: Zara. Sunglasses: Asos

The great thing about culottes is how they pretty much go with EVERYTHING. And they fill that hole in my wardrobe for smart yet comfortable trousers. I’m starting full-time work in an actual office next month so I’m looking for alternatives to distressed jeans plus trousers that are summer ready.

Pinstripe culottes: £38, Asos

Obviously, they look great with these fab Moda In Pelle shoes (everything would), but they look equally chic with flat shoes or a pair of ugly sandals. And throw a casual oversized jacket with them to feel relaxed and less ‘done’. I wore this J Brand jacket as part of my #WeekInDenim with Fenwick, but also wear my J Crew version constantly – not really sure what I wore before?!

    I'm inspired by the casual styling. I'm going to try to emulate this as I seem to wear my black culottes in a limited way.
