Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

It really depends on one's body type and proportions.  

Certain cuts and styles do not look good on all of us.

Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

@San Antonio Gal  I did a Google lens search and found this top for Valerie's sweater. I do not know that this is exactly the same.

Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

I have flare leg jeans, including vintage ones and newer ones.  I like them and  wear them.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

@Iwantcoffee  - That is a beautiful sweater!  Thanks so much for looking it up.  It's pretty darn close to Valerie's.

Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

I have flare or boot cut pants.  I like them.  I think they make me look a tad taller and slimmer.   Big fan of trouser jeans. 

 

I also like straight leg but  I need to always wear a longer top or a sweater over top because they are more close to the body.

Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

For me it's boot cut and straight leg jeans.  Skinny jeans and leggings not flattering on me.

 

Fortunately there are so many options we can choose what we like.

Re: Valerie P's flare leg and sweater

I have all cuts of jeans in my wardrobe and I wear them all..  Variety is the spice of life.  I am bored with skinny jeans so except for 2 pairs that I will only wear with tall boots, I have retired them.  But just for the winter.

The reason women like the skinny jeans is you look slimmer and taller. There is nothing that will make you look shorter than having a flare at the bottom of your pants, and even worse than that are the gaucho pants.  Gaucho pants are also a double negative, because not only do they make you shorter, but they make you look heavier. 

 

VPH is tall and can wear pants with the flare at the bottom, that's the reason why she looks good in them, her height.

 

 


Agreed.  At 5'2", anything wider than a slight bootcut accentuates my short height and makes me look as wide as I am tall - not a look I aspire to!
