What are "culottes"?

Culottes are a type of women's clothing that are similar to shorts or a skirt but have a wide leg that gives the appearance of a skirt. They are typically knee-length or longer and can be made from a variety of fabrics, including denim, cotton, or silk. Culottes can be dressed up or down and are a versatile addition to any wardrobe. They were particularly popular in the 1960s and 1970s but have since made a comeback in modern fashion.
