Trend Watch: Fall’s New Flared Denim

Boyfriend, girlfriend, skinnies, boot cut, patchwork… the denim landscape is constantly evolving. The good news is that the hottest denim trend to hit the scene for fall also happens to be one of the most flattering — flares! Yes, the ’70s inspiration is going strong! Flare-leg jeans provide a balanced look for curves because, instead of accentuating your hips and thighs like tight skinnies that cinch around your ankles, the width at the bottom of the pant makes your overall look more proportional. Of course, flares are best worn with chunky heels, platforms or wedges to elongate your legs, especially if you’re petite! Again, the focus on proportions is key to achieving an optimal look with this quintessential ’70s style.
