Etymology
The term 'culottes' originates from the French word 'culotte,' which referred to a type of knee-length breeches worn by men during the 17th century. The fashion item evolved significantly over time, especially during the French Revolution when the 'sans-culottes' (without breeches) became a symbol of the revolutionaries. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, culottes began to be adapted for women's fashion, offering comfort and freedom of movement. They became popular in the 1970s as part of the women's liberation movement, symbolizing practicality and ease. Over the years, culottes have maintained their appeal, frequently making appearances in contemporary fashion, often celebrated for their blend of elegance and casual wear.
