    I wouldn't class the first pic as cullottes - but a yay for those - I'm wearing some nowlol.

    No 2 - hmm not sure, a bit 90s but maybe they're on the return. I used to wear them back then, but I prefer the long short style atm Smiley smile

    I'd say.... I wouldn't because I wore them the first time around (including for Girl Guides!). They looked awful on me then no doubt even worse now.

    But, my best advice regarding anything regarding clothes is to know what suits. If you dress suitable to your figure then it doesn't matter if it's fashionable or not, you'll always look good.

    (says me in a dress I wore when I was pregnant last summer. Hides my 'mum tum')

    They're definitely making a comeback but I'm not trendy enough for the bottom ones.

    I would wear the top ones though!

    I'm too short for the more 'city shorts' ones in the top pic, but I'd wear the bottom ones, in black only probably, to work. But in reality I'd chicken out and stick to my m&s slacks.

    Interestingly I've seen a fair few in plus size ranges, so perhaps it's something I try if they look good on fatties.

    Yay, but only the bottoms ones. The top ones my Mum would wear.

    I embrace these longer length things as I'm sic of having to wear leggings under everything as it's indecent otherwise.

    I quite like them both on the models but I don't think they'd do much for me as I'm bottom heavy.

    I'd wear the top ones but not the bottom. Again, I wore them first time around!! I'm pretty certain that four children and many years later, I'd look silly but only you know your body and what suits it so if you like them, go for it!

    Top pair look like long shorts to me (am I being dense and that's what culottes are?). I'd try the second pair but don't think I would do them justice.

    I am in love with Zara stuff atm and I've noticed a few pairs crop up on their website.

    YEAH! Wear them while you can, I have a feeling they won't be back for long!

    I remember them first time. I remember writing 'Clots' on my packing list when I was going away on holiday.

    Jeez. I can't believe I was already a list-maker at the tender age of 11! It's in my blood, clearly!

    Oh, maybe they will make me look a bit bottom heavy then..

    I'm having hot weather clothing dilemmas atm. I'm a bit heavier than I'd like so don't like skirts/dresses that are above the knee without wearing leggings but don't really like the look of leggings..

    Tried looking for loads of dresses, skirts that are below knee with to no avail..Im very busty so need low necks/wrap style tops etc and spagetti straps/bustier/no straps are a complete no go for me!

    Body cons make me look like a walking sausage as well

    I love the look of lady v dresses but maybe a bit too dressy for everyday wear!?

    I'm having a right old mare!!!

    I like them and they look great on the model (I prefer the top ones) but would look awful on me!
