One of the great attributes of leather culottes is they can be paired with different textures e.g. denim, cotton, lace, silk, knits. This comes in handy when deciding what to style them with.

I’ve chosen to pair my chocolate caramel culottes with a fitted cotton short jacket. Alternatively, if you’re looking for other chic ways to wear leather culottes in summer – you can also style yours with an oversized or loose fitted cotton jacket.

To elevate the look I wore heels and chose accessories that accentuated the brown tones in my outfit.

I wore this outfit to work and must confess, I did feel on point. There’s just something empowering about wearing a trench and if you follow my blog you’ll know that I own a bunch of different trench styles – take my hooded trench and more summer style trench for example.
