Well, There's been a lot of speculation lately. I confirmed last week while looking at the new jeans in Urban Outfitters that yes, High Waisted Flare Jeans Are Having A Comeback! But there's a very specific style. Not just any old flare- and definitely not super low-slung-butt-hanging-out flare jeans with the bad "curve inducing" fading. I'm talking 1970s glam-rock platform sandals/boots kind of high-waisted flares. And where am I going to buy them? Tatters, located a few stores away from the Lyndale/Lake street intersection in Minneapolis, has real vintage versions of the jeans in light wash, indigo, dark blue, etc, for around $15-$30. (They also have high-waisted leather pants too, for about $40!) The only problem is finding a size that fits. Urban Outfitters, as I said earlier, also has quite a few styles but are in the $60-$100 price range. Pretty quickly, lower-priced mainstream stores will be selling the style too. They are catching on fast, and definitely not a prisoner to high-fashion runways. SO GO BUY A PAIR!
A few different styling options:
1.) Wear light-wash flares with a worn brown belt, and a paisley or floral see-through blouse with a small bow at the color, and a black-lace bandeau bra underneath.
2.) Platform heels, to create a sleek line all the way down your leg.
3.) Buy a not-so-long inseam, and wear with black converse high-tops a la Joan Jett age 16.
4.) A white tank top lined with lace tucked in
