This Is The Garment That’ll Elongate Your Legs And It’s Back In Trend

Memo: skinnies are out, flares are in.

by Sean Tham  /   September 27, 2018

Take it from us — the wide-leg is all the rage. Many A-list celebritiess have swapped their skinnies for flares, and we suggest you do the same. A good flare elongates the legs thanks to a small-to-wide silhouette, making you look taller.

Right now, the bigger the flare the better. We suggest pairing them with heels and choose a length such that the hem of your trousers grazes the ground. Above, five ways to style flare trousers, based on different occasions — from brunch dates to pool parties.

Catch up with friends in a stylish and easy outfit. Go for light, pastel colours that exude a summer vibe. Pair your flares with a vintage striped T-shirt to stay cool in the heat. Complete the look with a glass of sangria in one hand, and a pretty, acrylic circular bag in the other.

A Night of Dancing

Lounging by the Pool

If you’re headed for a resort break, pack some flare pants to go with your bikini. These crochet flares make us want to salsa, and we love the see-through effect for pool time. Grab a bag, throw on some heels, and you’re ready to hit the cocktail bar next door.

Bowling Night

It’s a #throwback kind of look that’ll see you through a whole night of fun. These corduroy flare pants, paired with a printed button-down shirt from the men’s section, as well as a bumbag strapped at the waist (or slung across like a crossbody), make for a stylish casual outfit. If you’re going bowling for real, bring a bright pair of socks with you that’ll look cute with bowling shoes.
