Culottism

/kjuːˈlɑtɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The practice, style, or advocacy of wearing culottes; a historical movement or fashion trend associated with culottes.

Etymology

From culottes + -ism (suffix creating nouns for practices, beliefs, or movements). This term appears primarily in historical fashion and clothing studies.

Kelly Says

Just as 'sans-culottism' became a political term, 'culottism' captures how clothing styles can become so culturally significant that they need philosophical and ideological labels.
