Skinny pants have dominated the market for almost six years and they have become a favorite in almost every girl’s closet (I dare say), taking over any other options in store racks.

Don’t get nostalgic skinny lovers, the trend is not entirely gone, nevertheless there’s been some major denim movement this season giving us this “70’s into the 21st century” vibe that obviously brought back a long time gone wide leg cut: The Flare Pants.

Flare pants can feel like a big style deviation from the classic skinny or boyfriend jeans and can be a tricky cut to master, specially for some petite or curvy figures. But don’t be intimidated, this trend can be actually super easy to style and we’ll give you some infallible tips to make it look amazing on you.




Skinny jeans have remained a staple in every girl’s closet so long because they are so easy to style—the look is almost impossible to mess up. While flared jeans aren’t as easy to wear—they almost always require heels to fit properly—this added height is also what makes the denim trend super slimming and undoubtedly flattering. If you get the exact hem length right and the break of the bell is smooth, your legs will look a mile long.

That’s actually why I love this trend: I’m barely 5'5'', so I jump at the chance to rock anything that will make me appear taller.  When I wear my high-waisted flares, I try to play up the long leg angle as much as possible by topping the pants off with either a short bomber jacket or a tailored blazer and a tucked-in shirt. As for my shoe of choice, I almost always opt for a pair of platforms. Flares and platform shoes were made for each other—the pants keep the lift concealed, so no one will know your little secret. If platforms aren’t your style or you want an edgier feel, flares also look great with pointy pumps and boots.
