Product Insights
The Elastic Waist Poplin Culotte is an ultra-wide leg, high-rise pant that appears skirt-like when still and swishes during movement, made from 100% organic cotton poplin for breathability and low stretch, with an elastic waistband that gathers without binding, a 27-inch inseam longer than comparable styles, and a sale price undercutting competitors like Madewell, offering a tradeoff: the voluminous wide leg is balanced by a 12.5-inch high rise that elongates the legs, while the organic fabric ensures sustainability and skin safety with minimal environmental impact.
