From Style Arc:
Pleat front culottes with angled pockets.
The culottes are back!! The pant that appears to be a skirt is the hot new trend, we just love it! The angled front pleats become part of the pockets creating an interesting and flattering design. The waist band is shaped and sits on the natural waist. This is the most comfortable pant/skirt that you will wear this season. For that luxurious evening look just lengthen the leg; or try them in Lurex.
