Wide-leg denim has been everywhere, but I'm loving the return of a really good flare for fall.
The Pistola Larsen in Daring has a relaxed silhouette that gives you the drama of a flare without feeling overly retro. The longer, sweeping leg is especially good with fall footwear—and gives your denim drawer something completely different from all those straight and barrel-leg shapes.
WHY I LOVE IT
Relaxed flare silhouette
A fresh change from wide-leg + barrel jeans
Easy blue wash for everyday wear
Creates a long, flattering line
So good with boots + heeled loafers
Works with fitted knits or oversized layers
A little '70s without feeling like a costume
DEAR LUCY EDIT
THIS ONE NEEDS A GREAT SHOE.
I'd wear the Larsen with a heeled boot or chunky loafer and let just enough of the shoe peek out underneath that flare.
On top? Keep it easy.
A fitted knit + blazer, a tucked-in button-down, or even a simple white tee with a great leather jacket.
And don't be afraid of the length—that long, sweeping silhouette is exactly what makes a flare look so good.
A LITTLE '70s. VERY NOW. MAKES MY OCTOBER EDIT. ✓
