Flare pants are back! They were a fashion statement during the 60s-80s (I even saw a vintage pic of my mom wearing her own). Personally, it's not something I would wear or even buy when I see them on storefronts. I thought wearing it would make me look shorter (I am petite. I'm just 5'2"). But, trying this flare pants at StradivariusI instantly fell in love. It just hugged me in the right spots. That's my no. 1 rule when it comes to clothes shopping. If it fits, then it's settled. I also take into account price and quality. Let's be smart shoppers too :)
