I was recently asked if women under 5 ft 4" could get away with wearing this summer’s Gaucho/ Culotte trend. ( Just to clarify, yes the Gaucho and Culotte are one in the same. )
Gauchos are a cropped version of the wide leg Palazzo pant. When worn, because of their wide bottoms they look like a skirt..... with the comfort of a pant.
These Culottes can vary from a slight width to an exaggerated voluminous opening.
All things 70's have made a comeback in a big, wide way !

There is no golden fashion rule whether shorter women can wear wide Culottes or not.
My advice is to keep your proportions balanced.
These hot Culottes are flowing and high waisted.
Naturally they will heighten the length of your legs and nothing looks better than
a Culotte with a heel.
My advice is to keep your proportions balanced.
- if your pants are short - keep your tops on the shorter side too ( avoid tunic lengths )
- if your crops are very wide - keep your tops close to the body.
- to elongate your frame- keep your colours tonal ( minimize the contrasts )

I love wearing my heavy bleached denim Gauchos both ways:
Casually with a flat, thong jewelled sandal and dressed up with a high wedge heel.
Albeit I was not granted the height gene, I never let that influence the way I dress.
I try to wear my fashion trends with confidence and conviction.
I may be short … but I never think small.
Go Gaucho this summer !
