The Fundamentals of How to Look Terrific in Flares

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!

How to Get More Outfits with a Jean Skirt

Embroidered Denim Pencil Skirt from Chico’s

Since I’m always thinking of how to get more outfits out of one article of clothing, guess what this post is about?  More outfits!…this time out of a jean skirt.  If you would like to be inspired with fresh ideas on how to wear a short jean skirt, you came to the right place.  By short, I’m talking about above the knee or knee-length.

I am sharing 35 ideas with you in this post.  For even more jean skirt ideas, you can read my post about long jean skirts in my post “How to Wear an Old Favorite:  The Denim Maxi Trend” HERE.

I love my jeans.  When I had to wear business clothes to work every day, I couldn’t wait to get home to the comfort of my jeans.  If I had to choose only one bottom to wear for the rest of my life, I could survive with blue jeans!

I also have a couple of jean jackets, a long denim skirt and a short denim skirt.  Once in awhile, a jean jacket comes in handy.  But with the skirts, I plan outfit combinations with them before I end up wearing them.

That’s because I prefer pants to skirts. If you are the type who prefers skirts to pants, a jean skirt could be as useful as blue jeans.  Just substitute a jean skirt and a tee for jeans and a tee. 

Age doesn’t matter.  Anyone can wear denim.  Wear what you love and show your true self!
