Now that we’ve gotten used to wearing comfortable clothes during the Coronavirus pandemic, we don’t want to give up that laid-back feeling. But we really want to look good too, so designers have come up with new ways to do just that. This spring, there are loose designs of just about every item of clothing, including jeans. So there is a resurgence of flared jeans once again. They come in a wide variety of styles — from ’70s bell-bottomed versions to a more modern kick-flare leg, as well as crops. Age doesn’t matter because there’s a modern way of wearing flares. And when you do that, there’s the benefit that it makes you appear younger! So let’s take a look at the fundamentals of how to look terrific in flares.
First of all, if you don’t wear jeans you can get flares in materials other than denim. To get away from the casual look, opt for a dark shade of flared jeans like black, a clean looking white, or even a navy blue in a plain style without rips to get a more classic feel. Also, you can get flares in fabrics that dress up the look. Or you can even buy trouser flares.
Now here are the fundamentals on how to look terrific in flares, starting with basic styling tips and followed by outfit ideas!

When spring began, I presented to you Pantone’s NY Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019 Color Trend Report. You can read my post, “Introducing Spring 2019 Colors and How to Use Them” HERE. Pantone’s colors are for both seasons: spring and summer. Now that it’s the end of spring, the sun is coming out more often and the weather is warming up quite a bit. So I am looking at the spring colors now in a summery kind of way.

Hello, and welcome to another in my series of Style Tips! Now that the weather is warming up here in Detroit, I feel ready to go sleeveless. With that in mind, I have a new style tip to share with you. As a bonus, I have (guess what?) ways to wear it! 😉 That’s my specialty.
Age doesn’t matter. If you don’t like to show your arms, you can add a lace or sheer or fishnet top underneath your sleeveless top. Or you could wear a t-shirt under it. Or you can just go sleeveless in your home with your loved ones, and then add a sheer or lightweight layer on your way out the door. There are infinite possibilities…well, almost. Lol!
Whatever you decide, check out my Style Tip of the Day.
