STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Flare in Fall

Fall is upon us, which means sweaters, riding boots and pumpkin spice everything. Shorts are now a thing of the past, and it’s time to dig out your warmer clothing for the cooler temperatures. Here in Flagstaff, we are experiencing some transitional weather, so it’s not quite cold enough to break out the scarves and beanies, but still chilly enough to lightly bundle up. During this time, cotton, flared pants are the perfect go-to garment.

Flared pants come in many different patterns and prints. They are usually made of a stretch knit, so they are comfy, breathable and almost feel like pajama pants. Printed flared pants are fun and can be dressed up and worn on a lunch date or just thrown on when you’re lounging around your apartment.

Our Fashionista wears a pair of boho stripe printed flared pants. She pairs them with a white flowy top and a denim jacket. She accessorizes her outfit with gold, layered necklaces, sunglasses and a pale pink, cross body Michael Kors purse to take this outfit from casual to chic. Stretch-knit flared pants tend to be on the longer side and may drag on the ground as this Fashionista’s did, so keep that in mind when choosing shoes to wear with these pants.

You can find these versatile pants just about anywhere. Retailers such as Forever 21 and Target have a great selection of flared pants, and the best thing about these pants is that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort to be stylish.
