Now Trending: Flared Jeans
Maybe it's a bit of the hippy girl in me, I've always been a fan of flared jeans. Before skinny jeans were all over the place, I've in jeans that had a bit of a kick to them. This summer, I'm totally embracing the trend. I like pairing flared jeans with oversized tops, like this peplum top from H&M, and a pair of heels to balance the look out.
Are you rocking the flared jeans trend this season?

I was feeling super inspired by all the wide leg pants that I saw during NYFW that I dusted off my favorite pair of J. Brand wide leg jeans. Typically when I wear wider pants I like to keep my tops somewhat form fitting, but this time after spotting Zanita rocking a longer frock over her wider legs I wanted to pull something off that was a bit looser and longer. And it totally worked for me. What I love about flared pants are that they can make your legs look a lot longer then they are. The trick is to make sure that your flared jeans are form fitting and don't pull away at the thighs. This look is easily one of my new favorite looks.
I'm always looking for new apps and styling communities for sources of inspiration and to connect to new people. I found this new cool new shoppable lookbook app called WEAR, which is where you can now find me sharing my latest looks. WEAR is a lookbook app created by it's community of international trendsetters. Not only is it a great source of style inspiration but it's also shoppable...which spells trouble for my wallet! You can save your favorite looks, see where to buy the items, and make the purchase. Come check out my profile and download the app to your phone to join the largest style community!

Are you ready to ditch your skinny jeans this spring for loose cut pants? Okay, maybe not totally ditch the skinny jeans but get ready to at least mix in some loose fit and flared pants. Yes, this trend can be scary, especially since we all have come to love our skinnies. Some key things to remember is to keep your tops a bit fitted, this will help from keeping you look wide. Do add a top that has a bit of a relaxed fit to have a loungey feel. Loose leg pants can also shorten you, so add heels to create a lengthening effect.
I'm already prepared to swap in some looser and flared pants since I already have a a couple of pairs of wide leg trousers. I brought out my favorite pair of J.Brand jeans last week to welcome the Spring air. I love these J.Brands because they are super long. Why would I love something super long? So I can hide my 4 inch or 5 inch heels underneath the flare. This helps create the illusion of long legs!
