Flare-Leg Pants
Flare-legged pants are more evergreen than most realize. From subtle to exaggerated, flared silhouettes are undeniably flattering, making some variation of the cut on-trend most seasons — classic bootcut, cropped ankle flare, high-waisted flared trouser, iconic bell-bottoms. Regardless of shape, size or age, they reinforce curves if you have them, create the illusion of curves if you don’t and give you legs for days either way. Flare-legged pants are a dream come true for all women, which is perhaps why they’ve been on catwalks everywhere this season. Here are a few fresh flare-legged looks to flaunt this fall:
Flare-legged suiting
Update suiting essentials this season with a flare-legged trouser and belted blazer to emphasize an hourglass shape. Look for pants with stretch for an enhanced fit through the thighs and cinch the blazer belt with an off-center double knot instead of front bow to keep the look clean and bulk-free. Style with a minimalist base layer like a silk camisole or scoop neck bodysuit, classic pumps and a structured leather handbag to balance the look with a touch of masculinity.Flared trouser jean
Pair statement flare-legged denim with timeless elements to keep the trend grounded. Try dark wash flared trouser jeans and a classic peacoat with a white cashmere turtleneck for a high-contrast pairing that achieves an outside color column of head-to-toe midnight blue. Look for creased or pin tucked jeans for a sharp, sophisticated touch and finish the look with pointy-toed stiletto boots that serve as a leg-extender.Cropped ankle flare pants
Try cheeky-length cropped ankle flare pants for a weekend warrior look that’s anything but frumpy. Shop high-waisted styles to ensure two-thirds proportions on bottom, and pair with a cropped trench coat or fur vest up top. Style with chunky platform loafers and statement socks, opaque bright tights or fishnet knee-highs for a peek-a-boo effect that delivers a big splash of whimsy.Split-hem flare pants
For a sporty take on the traditional flare pant, try a split-hem. Part pant, part legging, split-hem flare pants are often made with super comfy performance knits, elasticized high-rise waistbands and pull-on construction. Find one in your best dark neutral and pair with a turtleneck, bomber jacket and lug-soled combat or Chelsea boots for a simple, fail-safe weekend uniform. Finish with a crossbody bag for a hands-free yet chic street style look.Flared party pants
Add some sparkle to your seasonal capsule collection with flared party pants. Sequin trousers, lamé pants or metallic waxed jeans, they’re fun, festive and just in time for the holiday season. Pair with with a cotton t-shirt or tank and dinner jacket for a sophisticated yet unfussy look, or a cashmere turtleneck and chandelier earrings to be more cozy. Always match metallics to undertone, opting for silvers if cool or golds if warm.
