Spring '11 TREND: The Return of FLARE jeans & WIDE LEG trousers!

 Although flare jeans never OFFICIALLY went out of style they did take a back seat to the ever popular skinnies! However spring '11 changed all of that as the runways were flooded with flare & high waist wide leg trousers.  I've never been afraid of a little flare! So, I personally LOVE this trend.

 I'm also in LOVE with the wide leg pant! With the right fit, the look is so SASSY to me!

Just look at the open denim shirt with the wide leg khakis? HOTT, right!?

& now that we are getting so close to spring, the runway trend has FINALLY made its way into all of the mainstream department stores where all the mannequins have been styled with the latest 70's flare! I actually still have a few distressed flare jeans & linen wide legs in my closet that I've never stopped rocking.....They're actually my favorite! Although, I don't do anything with a high waste because it doesn't flatter my tush. But that's just me, it may work for you :-)

Are you excited to dust off your flares & start rocking them again?
