Culottes are a split or divided skirt.The term skort (a portmanteau for skirt and shorts) is more widely used, possibly because it is easier to pronounce. While some garments sold as culottes resemble short trousers, to truly be a skort it needs to look like a skirt. Thus, they differ from trousers or shorts by being much fuller at the bottom (hem) than at the waist. Culottes were developed in order to provide more freedom to do activities such as gardening, cleaning, bike riding, etc. and still look like one is wearing a skirt.
