Flares?- fashion a la mode

That's right.  Fashion week 2011 declared that high waisted flares and bell bottoms are the next big thing.  Most of us are waiting for spring to try out new looks but there are already plenty of women displaying this fashion on the streets (Kate Moss, Mary-Kate Olsen, Lauren Conrad, and Lindsey Lohan have been spotted wearing them and looking fabulous).

"This style is a modern interpretation of '70s influence which is a key theme for the spring season. To enhance the sophistication of the look, you can pair it with a fitted button down blouse or a light washed denim shirt,” says Solomon, Bloomingdales VP of fashion direction.






If you are looking for an affordable pair, the Gap already has several pairs of these '70s style jeans for sale.

My immediate reaction to this fashion trend was "but what about all  of my skinny jeans?" For all of those skinny-jean devotees, the popular style is by no means over.  The plus side to this new trend is that high waisted, flared look is infinitely more flattering than the skinnies that have dominated for years.

And for all the short girls, fashion experts are saying to pair flares with chunky platform heels and the look will instantly give you legs for miles.  Now, who wouldn't want that?
