Festival Flare

The beginning of fall will certainly take everyone for a seventies spin. With Woodstock inspired festivals such as I Heart Radio and Life Is Beautiful happening in Vegas, not only the music, arts, and culinary followers, but the hippest of Vegas fashionistas will gather to showcase the best of bohemian style!

As most great festivals, these are also the perfect scene to spot and be spotted wearing some disco flare. After more than a decade, skinny pants have been pushed aside temporarily, and have yielded their flare counterparts the top trending position.

Nothing says seventies better than the flare silhouette. But that's just the beginning. This fall get ready to embrace: flared jeans, flared tops, flared sleeves, and even flared hemlines on different pieces. The whole return of the bohemian vibe comes together with a free attitude, and has become the perfect opportunity to wear one of the most liberating silhouettes.

The truth is, no matter how skinny styles are still loved and remain a millennial reference everyone is still wearing; the real body slimmers are flare. The magic lies in the contrast between the slimmer part, and the bell or flare.

The flare trend works amazingly well on most body types making even big frames seem smaller. If you take a look at pants and jeans, the more retro the style, the better you tend to look, as hip-hugging, high-waisted styles, make the legs look longer and the waist appear smaller. The key is to add to the figure-elongating trick, keeping in mind to wear the hem just above ground level.

Always attempt to wear different outlines for different occasions. With a mixed Vegas fall temperature, you can explore both light casual pieces, and other more dressier for the chillier days. Mix flare favorites with more basic ones to look effortless, or go all the way matching them with denim or suede for real 70's glamour.

For a casual weekend wear a flare hemmed mini dress. Match it with gladiator sandals, flats, low heels for the movies, or with any of the previous options with a light jacket to hit the festival scene.

Try a tucked in, ruffled, off-shoulder blouse, and dress it up by wearing a pair of flare jeans and heels. Wear it to look trendy for evening cocktails or to enjoy a night on The Strip. A flare sleek pant can also work marvels with a one-tone blazer and make you look sharp to meet a client.

When wearing revived retro silhouettes such as flare, keep in mind balance is a priority. The power lies in complementing and accessorizing correctly, so as not to look costume-y but rather, incredibly trendy.
