Recently, I've been trying to avoid wearing shorts and skirts. Shorts makes me feel super conscious whenever I'm seated, and sometimes, the aircon is just too cold for it. Skirts requires me to wear safety shorts inside and it can get really uncomfortable and tight after a long day in school.

The alternative I've found is culottes.

To be honest, I took a while to catch on to the culottes trend. I always thought I would look too short in it, but the first few times I wore it, I was actually surprised by a compliment from my aunt (like old, and not fashionable nor in the same generation kind) that I looked taller in it. That just blew me away, and now they are my favourite clothing in my wardrobe.

When I was still buying my first pair of culottes, I got to say, it's not really not as straightforward to find the right pair. Some has a wider cut, while others are slightly slimmer, with a straight cut. My first pair had a really wide cut, and it looked really puffy on me. I ended up selling it on carousell, and currently I only wear slimmer cuts.
