Women across the world breath a sigh of relief. Well probably not quite on that large of a scale. I just want to say thank you to Ms. Kate Moss for wearing these flare jeans. She was one of the first people to start wearing the skinny jean look over a year ago. After that there was the huge onslaught of celebs wearing them. If a large majority of us haven’t yet, skinny jeans only look good on people who are a less than a size 2. As cool a chic as they look I’m glad that there might be some hope that they will be a trend that’s fading soon. I would like for them to come and go about as fast as those horrible gauchos did. I accepted early in the game that with my body shape, skinny jeans were not for me. Instead I found other ways to weare jeans in a up to date way.
Here’s a list of ways to update your flare leg denim look for the fall:
- Darker washes
- Higher waists
- Trouser-like cuts
- Straighter legs; not too bell-bottomy
If you can wear skinny jeans an look good, more power to ya. From the rest of us, thanks Kate.
