I have been wearing a lot of flares during winter because I find that my winter boots fit better under it but also don't have to do long walks trough the snow and slush.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare/page/2#post-1440236 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 11:35:18 +0000 Astrid 1440236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it.

Except for the short flares, I guess. Even in the 60s, it was considered a great faux-pas (not to mention&nbsp;gauche) to wear your bell-bottoms too high. But the rest of her cream/white outfit still works, doesn't it?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440129 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 03:31:05 +0000 Gaylene 1440129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make a great 60s girl, Suz! </p> <p>And what is this about being practical? There is practical and then there is Fashion (with a capital F!). Do you really think our own Fashion (capital F) maven on YLF, Anna, actually puts practicality before fun? </p> <p>Wear those flares, channel Faye Dunaway/Bonnie Parker, and add that dose of dramatic to your personal style. Soggy hems are a small price to pay for Fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440125 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 03:10:16 +0000 Dee 1440125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flares look absolutely gorgeous with that coat.

Way too short for PPL. But as I understand it, the floor sweeping style came in with the 70s. I remember wearing my pants literally dragging on the ground. And ever since, I've been a stickler for an almost floor-sweeping length, wet hems be darned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440068 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:10:25 +0000 K.M. 1440068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these flared looks here, Suz. Is it just my eyes, or is the pant hem in the 60s photo shorter than we would wear today? I feel like this idea of the leg-lengthening floor-skimming pant hem began in the late 90s (at least that's when I heard about it), but that before, common wisdom had hems on the shorter side, and sweet/poison eyes were adjusted accordingly. Am I wrong to think this? </p> <p>Not that it matters either way, as I am a big fan of the longer hems, but I like to mull over the history of fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440065 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:05:59 +0000 Vicki 1440065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving all three, as well, and I agree with you on your Danier version and much prefer it with your flares, because it looks much more modern. &nbsp;Angie knows best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440033 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 23:36:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1440033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on a pair of flares just yesterday ---getting them to fit "just so" in the thigh is a bit of a challenge for me.&nbsp; I do love having a variety of silhouettes to play with, so I won't be giving up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440022 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 23:24:41 +0000 Day Vies 1440022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I hear you on appropriate days for flares. Rain, slush, muck make it very difficult to wear flares during a good part of the year. However, I have been known to wear them in the rain with a heeled boot. I can't feel the cold wet hem when my feet are encased in a toasty boot. Also the dark color disguises the soaked hems. I will say I do not wear my lighter colored flares as much as I would like for the exact same reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1440019 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 23:16:56 +0000 sarah 1440019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pointed toes that bookend the sleeve work especially well with this, Suz. Nicely done. As you say, it's going to be some time before flares will be practical in these northern climes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1439976 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:31:59 +0000 jackiec 1439976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outstanding </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1439957 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:12:25 +0000 merwoman 1439957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better on you than the model - fantastic look!

And won't it be fun to wear flares again! I can't wait for our weather to change. You know it's coming when EA is onto it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy,</b> I think those heels on the booties are about 2.75 inches. That's my ideal heel height. The pants were hemmed for 3 inches but were probably a bit looser on me back then; I have gained a few pounds which probably makes them shorter than they were. Ahem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1439913 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 21:22:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 1439913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you Suz.

And really, isn't fashion all about how we FEEL??!&nbsp; When I "think"&nbsp; I look good, the confidence it conveys always outweighed my need to fit in with a trend that wasn't really me at the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1439857 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 19:48:34 +0000 Mona 1439857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look so fresh and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/with-flare#post-1439839 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 19:04:56 +0000 Anonymous 1439839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really looking forward to wearing them too.
