How to style them in order to get a super chic look? Check out these ideas:
Pastels for feminine look
The most elegant way to work this trend is to choose a pair of pleated culottes in a pastel shade and pair them with a silk shirt. Don’t forget to add a pair of high-heels if you want an elongate silhouette.

Choose a dark shade for a classy look
With any looser pant, it’s safest to go with a darker shade. It’s more slimming and easier to work in with the rest of your wardrobe. Black is a classy option, but you can also opt for shades like: grey or navy. For example, you can wear a pair of navy pleated culottes with a pair of sneakers and a cashmere sweater (tuck in the sweater) for a look with urban vibes. A masculine wool coat and an oversized scarf will complete perfectly this outfit.

Outstanding look
For an uncommon, but interesting look be brave and go crazy with a bold pattern while keeping your shirt and accessories to classic neutrals. Some pleated culottes with a geometric print, or in a vibrant color will work great for a casual look, even for an elegant one. Just pay attention to the fabric they are made of.
