How to wear flared jeans

1.The hem must skim the ground
The biggest (and most common) mistake with this look is wearing jeans that are too short. The hem should skim the ground, so make sure when you go shopping you take a pair of shoes with you. This way you can work out exactly the right length for your height.
2. High heels are essential
Bell-bottoms and kick-flares need to be worn with high heels. They just do. The silhouette looks best with height and it allows them to hang correctly. Platform and wedge styles work best with this look. Stilettos…not so much and please, no sneakers. Ever.
3. Choose your look
Remember this is not a dress-up party and it's important to keep the look modern. There's nothing wrong with a nod to the '70s but make it contemporary with your styling.
Try teaming your jeans with tops that are tucked into the waist – a simple T-shirt, a silk blouse, a v-neck sweater - then layer it up with a blazer that cuts just on the top of the hip bone. Or try a longer line blouse or tunic top that falls to mid-thigh and then team with a knee-length coat or short, cropped jacket.
4. Body shape matters
Unless you have super long, lean legs steer clear of proper, all-out bell-bottom styles. Instead try jeans that are skinny through the thigh with a flare that starts just at the top of the calf. Most cuts have a high waist but if you have curvy hips opt for a style that sits below the belly button, this will help balance the leg out.
