Who would’ve thought that flares would be the IT thing again!? This comeback is yet more proof of how trends repeat, and reinvent, themselves in a continuous cycle. {If only I would’ve kept some of mine from the past I could’ve saved myself some serious $$!} My legs are loving the freedom these high-waisted, loose-fitting flares and welcoming the break from my more restrictive skinnys. Not to worry though, my skinny jean obsession isn’t going anywhere. The trickiest part of master this belled style is finding the right length. With this particular pair, I am wearing them around some before I entrust them to my Tailor to hem the legs up a smidge. Nothing, in my humble opinion, looks more odd than too short an inseam in a flared silhouette. (I also really hate them being too long–the struggle is real) On the bright side 7FAM has released a new line of ‘Tailorless’ Flares for us ‘slightly short yet not quite petite’ girls that require NO alterations! How great is that!? Keeping a pair of denim’s original integrity is my goal when I purchase so this pair is on their way to me as I type.

Attempting to keep this look casual, I tucked in the best white tee ever–total splurge for a t-shirt but the quality is so awesome–and topped it with a chunky short-sleeved cardigan that I picked up this summer. It’s great for cooler mornings and is so cozy. I’m excited to go a totally different direction in styling these next and plan to pair the flares with this top, this hat, and these wedges to really play up the 70’s vibe! 

How do you feel about the flare trend?! If you love it, how do you like to style them best!?
