Why do you think flares are not good for you? They can balance out your shoulders and you can go for a smaller flare if you think they can overwhelm you.
They look more like boot cuts to me, but maybe I'm fuzzy about what flares are. [shrug] And I thought ITs were supposed to be the perfect shape for boot cuts. Maybe I'm missing something.
For me, it has nothing to do with being skinny - it's that the flared look makes me feel shorter because my legs are not very long. I've never loved bootcuts for that same reason - perhaps because I couldn't find petites and ended up with the knee break at the wrong place. I'm certainly willing to give anything a try, as you know!
To me the secret to wearing flares is to have them fitted in the knee, thigh and hips, and then to wear them with very very tall shoes. As tall as you can stand.
You can definitely pull them off Alaska, you have slim hips and thighs and that's a great start. You just need to wear 4 to 5 inch heels.
Stunning look, thanks for sharing! They seem like the skinny flares I've seen while perusing Shopbop. I like! Although on me, too, the short thing - once they were hemmed there wouldn't be much flare left on these...
Love it!
I wear a similar look with fares a silk blouse and a faux fur vest but love the trench and the hat!
My legs are not long either, you should try it with a small heel!
Your thighs looked great in your UWP photos, so I bet if you find some that hug down to your knee and have a small flare like these - with heels if you can - they might look awesome. But I'm the last person to give advice on counterbalancing feeling short...
