culotte
Split-leg skirt garment
Culottes are women's pants cut wide enough to resemble a skirt, falling anywhere from mid-thigh to below the knee.
The design offers the freedom of movement that pants provide while maintaining a skirt-like silhouette: She wore culottes to the office instead of a pencil skirt.
Usually plural, though a single garment may be called a culotte.
