I cannot tell you how excited I am that 70’s big, extra long, and super soft flares are back! I know we all have adopted, accepted, and made a staple of our ciggarette jeans, but THIS will always be my first love. And I have a confession, I never sold my others, I literally have an entire lower row in my closet lined with demin I’ve collected and cannot wait to bring back into rotation. Don’t get me wrong, I also love the streamlined feel and cool aloofness that is the straight leg or ciggarette jean, but wearing my flares makes me chanel my inner Bianca Jagger.
Topped with a flowy tunic, a simple oversized tee haphazardly tucked in the front, or with a boho esque kimono this season I have every intention of wearing my flares at every opportunity. I recently spoke at a dinner for The American Cancer Society and used my latest flare by Paige Denim and I cannot tell you how perfect it looked with my Dior stilettos and paired with a lux Mink vest that was generously loaned by Georgios Furs. Actually, why don’t I just show you!
With help from our gorgeous friend, Jessica we managed to recreate the look from that night with a little bit of a softer feel using: a silk unbottoned blouse over a silk shell under our Mink vest, and a vintage pair of Hudson flare denim. I had paired my Paige denim that night with a navy blue Armani dress shirt, but for more of a 70’s vibe I needed to bring some freedom to the top. The soft, feminine, and delicate look of our Trouve blouse and Helmut Lang shell really helped to make our flares feel more relevant to the season than if we had paired it with just the traditional botton down. And since I love layering during this season (because it’s not always that warm, but not cold enough for a full jacket) a vest is a must. We were just spoiled in our selection this time. 😉
