What do you wear when it’s too hot for full-length trousers but not sunny enough to switch to shorts? We recommend culottes or calf-grazing trousers that were all the rage in the early noughties but were soon relegated to fashion purgatory for being too frumpy. As it turns out that comfort and practicality will never truly go out of style, and culottes have made a comeback, taking over every sphere of your wardrobe in the process — from casual to corporate, and everything in between.
