Flare Jeans: Kate Moss' Style - from asos.com

The flare – snug on the hips and bottom with volume below the knee – suddenly looks modern rather than retro and, more importantly, incredibly fresh. Flared jeans for women are obviously much easier to wear than skin tight skinny jeans, especially if (like me) you have hips! The larger flare balances out the shape. You look thinner as your jeans provide volume and dramatic distraction well below the thigh. And as this cut is a lot less lumpen, infinitely sexier and more directional than the boyfriend jean, what’s not to like?

How to wear them

1. Focus on the waist? Tuck in at the waistband to balance the volume below the knee. The newly defined waist is a big story this autumn and flares let you play it up.
2. Wear with vests, next season’s skinny knits and short non-flare jackets? You don’t want volume above and below the waist.
3. If you do wear with feminine blouses, keep the fabric weight light and diaphanous. And tuck them in.
4. Wear with chunky, statement platforms? You’ll need the height to lengthen the leg.
5. Ensure the flares are low enough to cover your shoes? Half-mast flares are unforgivable.
6. Don’t add any overtly 1970s accessories like a floppy hat, unless you are attending a fancy dress party.
7. Keep it classic with a simple white shirt.
8. If you are wide on the hips choose a style that is sits slightly lower on the hips – it will be more flattering.
9. Channel the Halston vibe with slinky tops and towering heels.
10. Low slung bum? Stick to the simple wide legged jean? Flares are not the answer.
