Bootcuts, not really dramatic flares but good- fitting, keep coming around for me as duh, as a good classic work pant style to keep around in some form or other so it's worth being deliberate about creating a few "best Bootcut" capsules for each season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-bootcut-trousers-in-2016#post-1677649 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 12:28:13 +0000 Tanya 1677649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Inge strikes again!&nbsp; Thank you so much for the wealth of ideas, Inge! I especially like those with tunics/short dresses and long gilets, and will have to experiment along those lines.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-bootcut-trousers-in-2016#post-1677607 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 10:29:33 +0000 Inge 1677607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- I'm also loving the idea of pairing your bootcuts and flares with a <b>longer tunic or short dress</b>. I could also totally see you rock the sleek longer sweater (last photo in Isabel's comment).</p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/376402481338115613/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/376402481338115613/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070419872/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070419872/</a><br />(something like the BR sleeveless turtleneck below would work great)</p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069892609/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069892609/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069898350/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069898350/</a></p> <p>- The <b>ribbed form-fitting tops</b> you mentioned in your other thread could be fun for an updated '70s look.<br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069454530/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069454530/</a></p> <p>- Or something like this (with full-length pants). <b>V-neck over lightweight turtleneck</b>.<br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070790208/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070790208/</a></p> <p>- <b>Elegant long gilets</b><br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071115479/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071115479/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069951350/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069951350/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069380655/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069380655/</a></p> <p>- <b>Breezy cropped blouse</b><br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246290673350532760/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246290673350532760/</a></p> <p>- <b>Dramatic ruffles</b><br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071339579/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071339579/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071317112/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071317112/</a></p> <p>- <b>Cape or poncho sweaters</b> (longer and shorter lengths)<br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070713811/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070713811/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070918876/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070918876/</a></p> <p>- <b>Miscellaneous</b><br /><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070439548/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517070439548/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069402638/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069402638/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069419846/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069419846/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069439605/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069439605/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069898351/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069898351/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071172673/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517071172673/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069900853/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517069900853/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517067152908/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517067152908/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517067559585/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/246642517067559585/</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-bootcut-trousers-in-2016#post-1677395 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:35:57 +0000 Tanya 1677395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>El Cee, thank you very much for the pin and the article link, so many interesting ideas in that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-bootcut-trousers-in-2016#post-1677279 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:21:03 +0000 El Cee 1677279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For you <b>Una</b> -- and anyone else who is interested:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/483785184953547872/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/483785184953547872/</a></p> <p>This particular pin came from an interesting article (from 2014) with other fabulous fashion trend pics:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.brit.co/fall-style-layering-trend/">http://www.brit.co/fall-style-layering-trend/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-bootcut-trousers-in-2016#post-1677271 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:05:03 +0000 catgirl 1677271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I love El Cee's last pic!

And you always look amazing in bootcuts and flares, Tanya!<br />Loving Isabel's examples too.

Also, any other suggestions for these pants in general, and visuals are more than welcome.</p>
