Fashion Trend: Flared Skirts

December 20, 2007 | Filed Under Womens Fashion

Flared skirts are very sexy, and a little bit playful. They’re typically about knee length, and they go great with opaque tights, like what Kate Moss was wearing, and a chunky heel - any heel, really. High-heeled boots will work, too. The skirt’s flare gives you a spring in the midst of the cold winter.

Be sure, though, that if you’re wearing a flared skirt like the one pictured above ($26 at Forever 21 or online at Twelve by Twelve), that you should wear something tighter on top with it. You can’t wear a flared bottom with a large top, or you’ll look frumpy and uneven.

This $280 Binetti mini flared skirt is a very cool combination of tweed and lace. The mini might be hard for some to pull off, especially with the embellishment. This is available at www.net-a-porter.com. Note: though incredibly fashionable, flared skirts will make your butt look big.
