The word “culotte” refers to a type of garment. In a historical context, it describes knee-length trousers or breeches that were popular among men in the 18th century, particularly during the French Revolution. In modern fashion, “culottes” typically refer to a style of women’s trousers that are wide-legged and cropped, resembling a skirt but providing the practicality of pants. They can vary in length but usually fall between the knee and ankle.
