Very figure flattering! I'm not as crazy about the chiffon ones. They don't look bad but maybe because the material is lighter and floatier the flare seems more disheveled? So I think it's just a matter of aesthetic tastes when it comes to how one wants a flare to drape/look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1219610 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:31:48 +0000 CocoLion 1219610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the YFB pants. &nbsp;The AEs look good but I prefer the YFB for drama and differentiation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1219558 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:19:55 +0000 texstyle 1219558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the AEs - they are very flattering and I know they are a perfectly affordable way to explore flares again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1219281 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 05:44:55 +0000 ElleH 1219281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans fit you perfectly &amp; look great. The chiffon I'm not such a fan of. I think it is the crinkle because I like the ones in the inspiration pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1219192 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 03:00:48 +0000 rae 1219192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! The chiffon will go back for sure, and I'll spend some more time with the AE (American Eagle, thanks for reminding me to clarify). I'll have to give some serious thought to how I want to wear them! I'm also wondering if I ought to get a longer inseam... this inseam would only work with 3 shoes: leopard booties, black birkenstock sandals, and my green ash wedge sneaks.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218942 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:47:31 +0000 kellygirl 1218942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the AEs whatever they are!

And I'm just going to say it, Rae, because we are all thinking it. Your butt: seriously, girl. KILLER.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218920 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:33:50 +0000 Peri 1218920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fan of the jeans and just okay about the others. The thing is, I really need some like your inspiration picture for dance. If you find them, please post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218914 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:29:09 +0000 Angie 1218914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the AE's too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218902 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:22:39 +0000 catgirl 1218902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The AEs! That is how I want to look! The chiffon is giving me flashbacks to that look about 20 years ago when chiffon palazzo pants had a moment. Much prefer the denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218882 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:04:52 +0000 Diana 1218882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the AEs on you a lot.&nbsp; The chiffon, not so much. It's great in theory (and in the inspiration pic) but at least in your pics they kind of remind me of flared yoga pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218835 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:13:36 +0000 Aida 1218835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the AEs on you. Two questions though, the dark wash is very&nbsp;safe, is that ok with you? And&nbsp;is that flare dramatic enough for you? Just things to think about, not saying either is the case :)&nbsp;FYI, for myself I'm looking for an ultra faded (and maybe a little distressed) pair with a <i>real wide</i> flare and a 2" heel hem so I can wear my best lower pointy pumps with them, which is very different from my usual 3-4" hem on flares. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218834 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:10:27 +0000 Day Vies 1218834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore #1 &amp; 2 -- I can't see the flow in the other pairs. I think you look&nbsp; fabulous in flares (you look so long and lean) but ultimately it comes down to what you're comfortable with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218832 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:06:40 +0000 suzanne 1218832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As the other comments said, the first pair make your legs looks incredible, and NOT at all 1999 (my add on.) I like the chiffon inspiration and the pair you have. I think I prefer the pair you have a bit more than the inspiration because you could actually approach real life in them without getting caught or tangled up while making your fashion statement. Yes, they would need to be hemmed but they are very dreamy. And look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218769 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:15:13 +0000 cciele 1218769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza on the AEs. The chiffons don't have the floaty feel of 7 (which would be totally awesome on you). Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218763 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:13:49 +0000 carambola 1218763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the AEs on you.

It's hard to see the detail in the chiffon ones, but I'm really intrigued and think they have potential because they are unique and the silhouette looks possibly quite flattering. How problematic would the hemming be, considering the fabric?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218738 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 20:55:43 +0000 deb 1218738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the AE's, the chiffon, not so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218734 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 20:54:33 +0000 rabbit 1218734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-2 looks incredibly great on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flare-experimentation-prelims-high-rise-chiffon#post-1218722 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 20:29:14 +0000 rae 1218722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I said in a previous post, I'm <b>NOT</b> yet ready to wear flares/bootcuts again (except for dress trousers)&nbsp;and don't know how I'd wear them... but I know I'll want to in the future, maybe F/W, so I want to experiment and see if I can get in a groove with them.&nbsp;Need to make them feel more "new" to me.&nbsp;Possibly thinking either tunics or cropped tops to make them feel 2014 and not 1999. Probably more difficult since I was wearing bootcuts to work through... 2011?</p> <p>1-2 are AE high waisted flares, regular length. Perfect for a 2" heel but no higher. The "high" rise only comes just below my belly button, so on regular people it won't be a true high rise. Wider flare and obvs. higher waist than I ever wore the first time flares were in.</p> <p>3-6 is a Young Fabulous &amp; Broke chiffon version in XS. I also ordered a S, but those look more like a wide leg, which I'm not as excited about. I like that the foldover waistband would allow me to adjust the rise and wear with either shorter or longer tops. However, the chiffon is not as sheer as I was envisioning, and they'd have to get hemmed, even for my highest of high heels. #7 was my inspiration for getting these.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are your thoughts? Are either of these worth keeping around to work with?&nbsp; </p>
