Sometimes It Helps

Since jeans became a wardrobe standard, we have constantly been on the hunt for new ways to reinterpret them each season.  Invariably this means reinventing the wheel at times, resurfacing styles we donated to Goodwill  years ago only to wish we had stored them under the bed instead.  Right now?  Amongst others, the flare.  The funny thing about the flare is that it just cannot stay away for long.  Sure, the waistlines fluctuate from high to low at a pretty rapid pace, but overall, the flare is the steadiest denim investment you could hope for.  All anyone could talk about three years ago was flares.  And then boyfriend fits came along and we forgot a little bit about the flare.  And before that, no one can forget in the early two-thousands the True Religion craze, with its more modest flare leg Joey.  Before that?  Silver Jeans anyone?  My point is, you can buy this style of jean and feel comfortable knowing that even if you are sick of them by July they will be fresh again in another three years from now. 

There are two pretty good denim guides out there right now that can help you figure out just what to do with any kind of denim at all.  It doesn't have to be the flare.  Check them out at InStyle (this one is for new ideas besides the flare) and Lucky.

And then shop here for the most solid denim investment you can make.
