Gigi Gives Us A Lesson In Wearing Culottes

by Eliza Florendo

It's almost impossible to find something Gigi Hadid doesn't look gorgeous in. With legs for days and a cool-girl sense of style, she could probably belt a trash bag and still look pretty chic. So it comes as no surprise that Gigi Hadid pulled off electric blue culottes at the Samsung Galaxy Launch in New York.

Hadid totally owned the culottes trend that appeared on the runways of 3.1 Phillip Lim and Mulberry in the Spring/Summer of 2014. It looks like this is the it-silhouette for the upcoming seasons, and while it may appear impossibly hard to style, there are a few tricks to bring you one step closer to achieving this seriously chic look.

As with most things that end mid-calf, heels are the best choice for footwear. And, to get proportions right, a wide, flowly leg will probably work best with a structured top. Think tailored blazer or blouse. But—to achieve cozy chic, pair with a chunky knit turtleneck for comfy office bliss. And for a night out? How about a sexy bralette? The possibilities are endless.

We find ourselves wanting to steal Hadid's look, no matter what she's wearing, whether it's skinny ripped jeans, booties, and a white tee, or dolled up in a Calvin Klein slip dress and a shearling single breasted coat. But perhaps its not just because she's stunning, but it's also because you can feel the confidence and elegance she exudes when she wears her ensembles. So, take note from Gigi and remember the most important thing when it comes to rocking trends you might be unfamiliar with or in: you must own it.
