Tips on wearing Flares:
- I would generally recommend wearing with a heel, a wedged heel works really well as does a retro wooden platform style, but don’t be afraid to work flats if the length of your flares doesn’t allow for heels
- Darker denim generally works better, more flattering, but I do love a lighter wash for the summer
- Go for a pair that is slim fitted around the waist, hips and thighs, makes the flare splaying out from the knee that extra bit dramatic, plus it balances out the style
- If you can go for a high-waisted pair of flares, uber flattering and hides a multitude of sins as it highlights your slimmest part
