DO’s & DON’Ts when wearing flare pants!
FLARE PANTS DO’s & DON’TS
Wearing flared pants may remind you of the 70’s no doubt, but they were admired then and are back in vogue in 2022! Flare pants/jeans are an exciting prospect after the prolific penetration of skinny jeans and have already captured the hearts of many again! But to get the perfect look, flare pants should be worn right and here I will discuss a few rules on how to wear flare pants right!
Don’ts
#1 Over do it
If you already have flare pants, don't over do it on the belt, keep it simple or don't take a risk to look retro! Avoid using chunky belts, loud and bold accessories, hats and any accessories that will drown the overall outfit! This will only make you unstylish and bulky which we don’t want!
#2 Pair with sandals/flats
Never pair a flare pants to a sandal or flats, because it will only ruin the fit of the flare from your knee to the hemline! Flare pants are not all about your glamorous sandals or flats, it's the pant’s flare! Not only that but wearing it with sandals/flats will also make you shorter and not flattering!
#3 Wear small flare pants
Now the next thing you don’t wanna do when wearing flare pants is wearing small flare pants! Wearing small flare pants will make you look shorter and won’t look flattering! The hemline length will also look weird! Which is why it’s important to choose the right flare pants! So avoid wearing small size flare pants ladies!
Do’s
#1 Choose the right length of hemline
The hem of your pants should not be too long or too short but should hit the perfect spot of your heels to get that perfect look and wear the pants right! Too short or too long flare pants look bad and not cool at all! So always keep this in mind and get the right length for flare pants!
#2 Wear your heels
Embrace the high-waist, though it may sound a little out-dated but the style suits best with flared bottoms! It will superbly flatter your figure by adding a bit of structure when flaunting loose ends! Fine-tune your silhouette by adding some serious heels! Not only will you look stylish but also add some height to your body! Heels are the best shoes to wear with flared pants! High-heels or wedges bring fluidity to these pants and balance the bottoms!
#3 Choose dark color
If you are petite or you want to look tall in your flare pants, choose a dark color or black, with no embellishments, or textured designs! Just a simple dark color flare pants! That's it! Not only will you look taller but you can also style it with any top! Super versatile too!
Mula‑mula aku beli seluar flare, memang blur nak gayakan. Dalam gambar Pinterest semua nampak kurus tinggi, tapi bila aku pakai sendiri terus rasa pelik. Lepas banyak try & error, barulah perasan rupa‑rupanya potongan, panjang hujung seluar dan kasut memainkan peranan besar. Satu benda yang ramai tak perasan ialah bentuk badan. Kalau korang petite atau rendah macam aku, pilih potongan high‑waist sangat membantu. Pinggang yang tinggi akan bagi ilusi kaki lebih panjang, lagi‑lagi bila hujung seluar flare jatuh cantik dekat paras tumit. Dari tepi, kaki nampak terus sambung je dari pinggang sampai ke lantai. Bab warna pun penting. Seluar flare warna gelap macam hitam, navy atau coklat gelap memang ‘life saver’. Warna gelap dan plain tanpa corak yang besar‑besar boleh buat badan nampak lebih langsing dan kemas. Bila warna seluar dah neutral, senang sangat nak padankan dengan apa‑apa tops – t‑shirt putih, kemeja satin, knit top, semua masuk. Untuk bahagian atas, aku suka pilih top yang lebih fit di bahagian dada dan pinggang. Bila bawah dah flare dan kembang, atas jangan terlalu oversized. Kalau nak pakai kemeja longgar pun, aku akan tuck in bahagian depan atau semua sekali. Ini buatkan pinggang lebih menyerlah dan tak nampak ‘tenggelam’ dalam kain yang banyak sangat. Kalau pakai blazer, pilih yang berpotongan kemas dan berstruktur, elak yang terlalu labuh sampai tutup separuh paha. Isu paling besar sebenarnya kasut. Dalam gambar OCR pun tunjuk jelas beza bila pakai seluar flare dengan kasut tumit tinggi berbanding selipar. Bila aku cuba pakai dengan sandal rata, flare tu drag dekat lantai dan potongan dari lutut ke hujung terus hilang. Kaki nampak pendek dan selekeh. Tapi bila tukar ke kasut tumit tinggi atau wedges, terus nampak perbezaannya – seluar jatuh elok, kaki nampak panjang, dan keseluruhan silhouette nampak lebih seimbang. Kalau korang takut tumit tinggi yang terlalu runcing, wedges atau block heels pun dah cukup. Yang penting ada sedikit ketinggian untuk bagi ‘space’ kepada flare tu berkembang cantik. Pastikan juga panjang hujung seluar hanya sentuh bahagian atas kasut, bukan meleret terlalu teruk. Satu lagi tip yang aku belajar: jangan over‑accessorize. Cukup dengan tali pinggang yang simple, maybe satu beg kecil dan anting‑anting minimal. Fokus utama biar pada potongan seluar flare tu sendiri. Bila gaya ringkas, keseluruhan look nampak moden, bukan macam kostum 70‑an. Lepas ikut prinsip simple ni – warna gelap, high‑waist, panjang hujung paras tumit, dan kasut bertumit – barulah aku rasa yakin pakai seluar flare ke office, lepak dan event. Kalau korang selama ni rasa seluar flare buat nampak rendah atau besar, cuba tweak ikut cara ni dulu, mungkin sebenarnya potongan dan styling je yang tak kena.
