Building Your Wardrobe :: The Essentials

Call them wide-leg or flare - whatever the name, this jean is definitely a must-have in all of women's wardrobes. The best thing about this jean is that it makes any woman appear insanely tall, and who doesn't want that?! (my 5'3" frame loves it!) And when paired with wedges, heeled clogs, or boots, it allows the jean to lightly graze the ground, giving an instant slimming effect. Score and score. 

I love how these ladies above paired their flared jeans. Take note by pairing a loose sweater, moto jacket, and beanie for a refined yet laid back look (my fav). Or step into Spring by pairing white flared jeans with a feminine blouse for a fresh, ladylike look. And lastly, by pairing a pair of dark wash flared jeans with a detailed top and fitted blazer, a pair of jeans become suddenly work appropriate. The options are endless.

Now, time to get yourself a pair!
