Whilst both jorts and pedal pushers have enjoyed several summers of popularity, their underrated sister, the denim culotte, had found itself lagging behind. That was until this season.
All of a sudden, my favourite brands are stocking the forgotten denim trend, and none other than Gwyneth Paltrow has just taken it for a springtime spin. Styling a pair of wide-leg denim culottes, the actor pulled together a smart silhouette that remained true to her infamously polished aesthetic. In true Paltrow form, she wore her cropped jeans with a neat black blazer and a spattering of jewellery for a fuss-free ensemble that was as refined as ever.
Whilst both wide-leg jeans and capri pants have been trending throughout the season, this in-between silhouette hasn’t been so quick to catch on. Now, however, spring has arrived and the culotte denim trend is doing the rounds once more.
Whilst Paltrow styled hers with a smart black blazer, the denim trend also works well with a lightweight blouse or relaxed knit. To add a summery touch, style with barley-there sandals or opt of a neat mary jane to polish your look.
An emerging staple amongst fashion and denim lovers, the new-season buy is set to take off this spring. Read on to shop Paltrow’s look, as well as our edit of the best culotte jeans to buy for spring 2024.
