There are many benefits of online shopping, including avoiding many of the pains that consumers often experience with typical brick and mortar shops. From excessive traveling to picking from a limited quantity, it is no wonder online shopping grew by 13% in 2013 .

Historically, "culottes" referred to the knee-breeches commonly worn by gentlemen of the European upper-classes from the late Middle Ages or Renaissance through the early nineteenth century.

For example, currently, the term "culottes" in French is now used to describe women's panties, an article of clothing that has little or no
