Culottes designed to meet the requirements of modest fashion
Culottes are a piece regularly found in the collections of major fashion houses. But very often, the models offered are too short or feature cuts that do not meet the expectations of Muslim women wishing to dress modestly.
It was precisely this observation that inspired Myriem, founder of Chic & Modesty, to design her own version.
Her ambition was to create elegant, modern, and comfortable culottes, but above all, adapted to our values and our vision of modest and mastoura fashion.
We therefore worked on an ideal length, falling around the ankle, combined with a particularly generous cut, designed not to mark the figure and to preserve good coverage.
The idea was to bring together the best of two worlds: the coverage of a skirt and the freedom of movement of trousers.
A modern piece that allows you to feel comfortable in your movements, without giving up elegance or modesty.
A generous cut, studied down to the smallest detail
The entire design of these culottes is based on meticulous work on the cut and proportions.
We wanted a truly loose piece, capable of concealing the shape of the legs and hips, without creating a heavy or disproportionate silhouette.
The legs were deliberately widened to create a nice movement, almost similar to that of a long skirt.
At the front, structured pleats add volume with elegance, while giving the piece a beautiful hold.
The cut was also worked on at the hips to allow wearing a top tucked into the waistband, without creating a tight effect.
Its length, carefully studied to fall around the ankle depending on height, allows you to maintain the modern look of a true pair of culottes while offering the desired coverage.
The result is an elegant, comfortable, and resolutely contemporary silhouette.
A waistband designed to combine elegance and comfort
Because details make all the difference, we paid special attention to the waistband.
At the front, the waistband features a flat and structured finish, which allows a shirt, blouse, or thin sweater to be easily tucked in while maintaining a clean silhouette.
At the back, a discreet elastic provides more flexibility and comfort to accompany everyday movements.
The front opening is made with a zip and a hook closure, for a neat and practical finish.
Belt loops and functional front pockets complete this creation.
Every detail was thought out to make these culottes as comfortable to wear as they are elegant.
Dark Burgundy: a deep and sophisticated shade
For this creation, we selected a Dark Burgundy, a rich and elegant shade, particularly suited for autumn-winter.
This color brings character to an outfit, while remaining easy to pair.
It pairs just as well with timeless shades like cream, black, beige, or taupe as with warmer shades like chocolate.
For a chic silhouette, pair it with an elegant shirt or a satin top. For a more casual style, wear it with a thick cotton T-shirt, soft knitwear, or a cardigan.
A refined color that particularly highlights the volumes and pleats of this creation.
A versatile piece to wear throughout the seasons
We wanted to design a true wardrobe essential, capable of accompanying you throughout the seasons.
In autumn, these culottes can be worn with a long-sleeved T-shirt, lightweight knitwear, or a nice cardigan.
In winter, pair them with a thick sweater, ankle boots, and a long coat for a warm silhouette.
In spring, a flowing blouse, a shirt, or a lighter top is enough to give it a completely different look.
They can be worn with sneakers for a casual style, but also in a much dressier way.
One single piece, many possibilities, for a wardrobe that is at once practical, elegant, and thoughtful.
A creation faithful to our vision of mastoura fashion
At Chic & Modesty, we wish to offer Muslim women, veiled women, and all those who prioritize modest fashion elegant, modern clothes adapted to their daily lives.
These culottes perfectly embody our vision of modest and mastoura fashion.
Thanks to its generous cut, carefully studied length, and opaque fabric, it offers good coverage while maintaining the contemporary look of a fashion piece.
A mastoura creation designed for those who seek the comfort of trousers without giving up the modesty of a long skirt.

The choice of fabric: at the heart of our creative work
A material selected after extensive research
At Chic & Modesty, we are convinced that the quality of a garment begins with the choice of its material.
For these culottes, we dedicated a lot of time to finding the ideal fabric.
We did not want a classic cotton that was too stiff or rough. Our goal was to find a material that combined several qualities: softness, good hold, flexibility, an elegant drape, and above all, opacity suited to our clientele.
After extensive research, our choice fell on a blend of 50% cotton and 50% lyocell.
A particularly interesting combination, which allows you to enjoy the complementary qualities of these two fibers.
Cotton, for comfort and hold
Cotton is a natural fiber that we appreciate for its breathability, comfort, and versatility.
It helps give the material hold, especially to preserve the structure of the pleats and the nice volume of the cut.
We wanted to maintain these qualities while avoiding the stiffness that some all-cotton fabrics can present.
Lyocell, for softness and flexibility
Lyocell is a cellulosic fiber appreciated for its soft touch, flexibility, and the fluidity it can bring to fabrics.
Combined with cotton, it helps obtain a material that is more pleasant and less stiff than some classic trouser fabrics.
This blend also presents a less easily wrinkleable appearance than some 100% cotton fabrics, without making the garment wrinkle-proof.
A drape that makes all the difference
The result of this research is a fabric that is particularly soft and flexible, with enough hold to highlight the pleats at the front and enough movement to accompany the generous cut.
We also paid special attention to its opacity, essential to achieve the desired coverage.
The selected fabric is opaque, which allows you to preserve a beautiful discretion of the figure, in addition to the very loose cut.
This cotton and lyocell blend is particularly suited for a mid-season piece, which can also be worn in winter with appropriate combinations.
At Chic & Modesty, quality is not limited to a pretty cut: it is felt in the touch, comfort, movement, and attention paid to the finishes.
It is this standard that accompanies us in each of our creations.
