Definition
Full, loose-fitting knee-length trousers designed to resemble a skirt, or historical breeches worn in the 18th century.
Etymology
From French culottes (plural), from culotte, derived from cul (bottom). The garment became fashionable in the 18th century and experienced fashion revivals, particularly for women's wear in the 20th century.
Kelly Says
French revolutionaries were literally called 'sans-culottes' (without culottes) because they wore full-length trousers instead of knee breeches—so this fashion item actually became a symbol of social revolution.
