If they are not stiff they could be really fun. Probably too much volume for me (and I've never tried on a pair of JCrew pants that work for me), but I bet they'd be fab on someone else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616451 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 21:06:11 +0000 Anonymous 1616451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the outfit on the right. &nbsp;Those pants Jcrew on sale yeah!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616411 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 19:47:21 +0000 Meredith 1616411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Needed retail therapy on my lunch break, so I'm playing with these concepts at BR. Am I crazy to like these? The concepts, not necessarily the specific pieces. The colored pants should be wider. What do we think about the BR flares as opposed to the exaggerated Jcrew versions? Do I need to order this Boden Jacket? Can you tell I've had too much coffee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616323 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 17:19:47 +0000 viva 1616323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans on the right are fabulous, and frankly, <b>I love it when JCrew copies a designer like Rachel Comey</b>, whom I could never afford. These jeans are currently $248 and part of a special where you can get $75 off $250. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616262 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:22:50 +0000 Angie 1616262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE those outfits too. Feel better soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616213 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:29:47 +0000 Meredith 1616213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, They are like culottes. I think they are technically wide legged as opposed to flares, so poor description on my part. I'd like to compare them against the BR flares you have and see how much drama I can handle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616209 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:19:54 +0000 Janet 1616209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ones on the right did seem familiar, and Anna pointed out why. They almost seem like a culotte-cropped flare hybrid. I like the combination of the cropped length with the lace-up shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616207 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:13:21 +0000 Meredith 1616207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, I agree. I like seeing that the style works well with boots and sandals. Makes it more practical for the transitional spring season.</p> <p>BrieN, that's that outfit that really drew me in as well. I'm seariously considering shamelessly copying it.</p> <p>Rachey, I agree that most Jcrews I've visited play it pretty safe with the merchandising. I don't know that I've ever walked into the store and felt inspired.</p> <p>Anna, yes it's a pretty blatant copy. I think the Jcrew version is not so high in the waist and is shorter in length but the overall look is not particularly original. This image primarily made me realize I should take the trouble of trying a more dramatic cut (which I would never find in stores around here) before settling for a mildly flared crop.</p> <p>Diane, thanks! Not sure if south central Kansas is ready for this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616147 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 08:16:13 +0000 Anonymous 1616147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look! I can just see you in that style of shoe and jean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616140 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 07:13:05 +0000 Gigi 1616140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...I was considering buying a pair of lace-up flats this spring, but these outfits are making me wonder whether I should buy a pair of heels...hmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616134 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 06:02:23 +0000 annagybe 1616134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are pretty much a straight up copy of Rachel Comey's a few seasons ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616132 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 06:00:38 +0000 rachylou 1616132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's JCrew? Why does my JCrew store never seem to have the cool goods? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616103 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 03:14:38 +0000 BrieN 1616103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I adore the outfit on the right. Thank you for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616080 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 01:54:47 +0000 rabbit 1616080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those outfits are pretty smashing! &nbsp;I'm loving the look of laceups too and they look like they go great with a lot of bare ankle under a swishy cuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flares-and-lace-ups#post-1616056 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 01:00:04 +0000 Meredith 1616056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had much energy to think about spring purchases, but I do know I'd like to add some cropped flares and lace ups. I am in love with this inspiration from Jcrew via Porter mag's Instagram. </p>
