Fit and Flare

Fit and Flare by laura-camerlengo featuring boot cut jeans

Have you heard the latest denim news? FLARED. JEANS. ARE. BACK! Flared jeans have returned for fall 2014, freeing your calves from the constrictions of skinny styles. Flared jeans are distinguished by their bell-shaped bottoms, which are full from the knees down to the ankle, making thighs appear thinner and legs look longer. From their humble beginnings in nineteenth-century U.S. Navy uniforms, flares have been "in" and out of fashion since the 1960s, when hippies wore them as part of the counter cultural movement, through late 1990s and early 2000s, when slimmer, boot cut versions were stylish. This season's flares have extra wide, floor-skimming bottoms, and are available in a variety of washes. Try this trend (without breaking your bank!) with wallet-friendly styles for under $100.00.

S.S.W. Asks: Will YOU wear flared jeans this fall?
