When it comes to finding trousers that are stylish, practical and cool for the summer, culottes are often the answer. The cropped design offers the breezy, airflow of a skirt with the practical coverage of jeans, making them a warm-weather staple.
Ideal for wearing to the office or on occasions that require a bit more structure than linen pants, culottes provide maximum comfort while being chic. If you don't know where to find the ideal pair, it's worth checking out Roman.

Features and Fit
The Blue Dusk Denim Stretch Wide Leg Culottes come in sizes ten to 20, all of which are still in stock online. Shoppers can also get them in three other colours including: indigo, ivory and peach, which are ideal for injecting a pop of colour into an outfit.

Customer Reviews
Back at Roman, the Blue Dusk Denim Stretch Wide Leg Culottes have racked up an overall star-rating of 4.8 out of five based on 60 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Lovely soft stretchy jeans, really comfortable, look nice on, very happy with them."
A second wrote: "I absolutely love these jeans. The fit and length are perfect. Will be great for my holiday in September, although they may be worn out by then. By the way, I'm 72."
"Wow these are fabulous," a third penned. "Great fit, I'm between 14-16 and the 14 fit perfect. Great colour, material and length (I'm 5ft 7ins). Don't delay in getting them as I'm sure they'll sell out given positive reviews."
A fourth mentioned: "Really love these culottes and ever so comfortable. They've been admired several times. Only wish I could purchase same again but in a black denim. Definitely recommend."
While the Blue Dusk Denim Stretch Wide Leg Culottes are yet to receive any negative reviews, one shopper docked them a star because the length wasn't as expected. They wrote: "I love these cropped jeans but they are a bit long which is why they are four stars only. I decided to keep them as with the amount of stretch in them, they are so comfortable and look trendy."
"Very comfortable," another four-star review noted. "Too long, but will be simple to shorten. Spring may come soon, and tired of jeans but not ready to bare legs in shorts yet."
Nevertheless, someone else loved their latest Roman purchase, adding: "My absolute favourite summer jeans. So comfortable, true to size, they wash well and are above my ankle at 5ft 4ins. They do grow ever so slightly after a days wear as a soft denim."
Another five-star review reads: "Just love these so comfortable with the stretch fit like a glove. If you are between sizes size down."
"A favourite in my wardrobe," another positive review declares. "So versatile, comfortable and just perfect length above the ankle. Not too heavy material ideal for spring and summer. Will certainly buy again in another colour."
Somebody else explained: "These jeans are perfect. I looked at various other makes but these fit better. Very smart in the dark blue and just the right length if you like them just above the ankle for 5ft 2ins."
