Along with my white watch dilemma I have a flare leg jean problem too. To purchase or not? I think that flared jeans are cute but again I’m not sure if the fad is fleeting. I thought the skinny jean fad would be over and done with in two seconds but lo and behold they are still here! I dug my heels in saying that they were not flattering and that I would never own a pair because they were only for anorexic models and here I am sporting them all the time. I have the same feeling about the flare leg. Will I be on time with this trend or jump on the bandwagon late like I usually do? Life is so hard. If I purchase some wide leg jeans here are the ones I would consider. Are you buying into this fad?
Vintage flare jeans (light wash) gap
I like that these look like trousers because of the front pockets. I would definitely not wear them with flats though. Too much fabric around the calves without height would not be flattering on me.
Flared Jeans from Forever 21
I like how fitted these are through the thigh. The flare is so discrete they could almost be boot cut. This may be a good “test-drive” pair to see how often I really wear wide leg jeans.

I am a firm believer in dark washes for jeans. They are always more flattering which is why I like this pair. Plus the waist looks high which is something I love (in my old age).

Something about flare leg jeans screams casual to me which is why I would allow myself to purchase them in a light wash (the lighter the jean the more casual in my opinion). I imagine myself wearing them on weekends with wedges and a T-shirt tucked in.
PS Last night my friend Natalie had a white watch on and that sealed the deal for me. Definitely going to purchase one!

Not that my non-existent fashion sense counts...but I vote for the 3rd pair down. :) And seriously, I just can't believe how fast these trends repeat themselves. Weren't flares just in a few years ago, or am I getting that old already? Shoot! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am with Carrie on this one, I am a lover of dark wash jeans
ReplyDeleteCarrie it is so true that fashions repeat themselves! That's why I still have things from high school! Ok maybe college. Also, Cristina, I agree that dark wash are so much more flattering. You two did both pick the most expensive pair! Darn!
