It’s the big fashion headache as soon as the heat returns. No more stuffy jeans or wrinkled linen: we’ve found the ultra-light piece for less than 40 euros that will save our summer.
Finding the ideal bottom when temperatures rise is often an obstacle course for city dwellers. If classic jeans quickly become stifling in the sun, shorts are not always easy to wear in an open space, and linen, although absolutely fresh, unfortunately wrinkles at the slightest second of inattention, as soon as you sit down on transport or in the office. Faced with this stylistic dilemma that comes back to haunt our mornings every summer, the Japanese brand Uniqlo has just revealed the perfect answer. The brand has imagined a pair of culottes of incomparable lightness, displayed at the ultra-democratic price of 39.90 euros, which promises to become our best ally to get through the summer season with elegance and absolute comfort.
However, this hybrid piece has come a long way. Invented in the 19th century to allow our ancestors to ride bicycles in all decency, culottes have long had a somewhat rigid image. But forget your old prejudices. The very specialized magazine Marie Claire US confirms that the panty trend is the absolute star of this spring-summer fashion shows. This season, she emancipates herself from her austere working girl side to become a true style statement, ultra-desirable and madly modern.
This is precisely where the model proposed by Uniqlo stands out from everything we have seen so far. Made from an innovative and airy technical nylon, these new kinds of bottoms solve the chore of ironing with the wave of a magic wand. It slips into a weekend suitcase, washes in a flash, dries lightning fast and comes out of the machine completely spotless, ready to wear. Its texture never sticks to the skin, even in high heat, guaranteeing a continuous feeling of freshness throughout the day.
Beyond its incredible practical aspect, it is its cleverly studied cut which enhances all body shapes. Thanks to its high elasticated waist which delicately marks the silhouette without ever compressing it, and its very flared legs which imitate the dancing movement of a midi skirt, it brings a crazy look without effort. To adopt it on a daily basis without making any missteps, nothing could be simpler. It can easily be worn at the office with a pretty loose cotton shirt, slightly tucked in, and flat leather sandals. On weekends, she likes to relax with a minimalist white t-shirt and a pair of retro sneakers.
At less than 40 euros, this gem combines the elegance of a skirt and the freedom of pants, definitively establishing itself as the best-kept secret of stylish girls to stay fresh and impeccable all summer long.
