Seventies styling is another huge trend for Spring and with that comes the
return of the wide-leg. For what seems like forever, skinny jeans have dominated, but these wider-legged and flared versions suddenly look both modern and classic.
While the silhouette is overall pretty flattering, there are definitely some things to watch out for. Try to resist the urge to pick up any of the high-wasted versions if you aren't pencil-thin (to avoid the
Jessica Simpson "mom jean" fiasco). Instead, opt for one with a medium rise and pair it with something fitted or tucked in, to balance the added width below.
Your best bet is to try on a ton of pairs to decide what looks best on your shape (flared vs. straight wide-leg, trouser, etc.) Try mixing in other accessories with seventies sensibilities, such as a wide-brimmed hat, cross-over bag or platform shoes. Just be sure to keep one modern element, like a pop of neon or a leather jacket, to avoid looking too retro. Below are some inspiration photos, along with my styling shopping picks...
