- Drum roll, please.
That's my drum roll.
- Oh!
Jeans.
- They're flared jeans!
Let's do this.
- I'm excited about this.
Flared jeans were very much a trend
when I was in middle school,
and then they came back, like, maybe a couple of years ago.
- Things from the past are always
being recycled back into the present day,
and I think it'd be really fun to style these.
- I have not worn a flared jean maybe since middle school.
- I definitely feel like a little scared.
That's a big flare.
- This looks straight out of what my closet looked like
in 2007.
- Flared jeans!
Like, 95% of the pants that I own are flared.
- Not like a huge jeans person,
so I think it'll be a really fun challenge.
- Honestly, you either love or you hate flared jeans.
I'm one of the people that love them.
- We got some flared jeans!
It definitely feels like I'm going to be back in Texas
with this one.
(upbeat music)
- So this is going to be interesting.
I wonder how it's going to fit.
- This is so not my vibe.
They feel kind of, like, plain.
I don't know how I'm going to kind of, like, spice this up.
So I pulled my kind of, like, slightly Western jacket,
and I'm pulling these boots.
Y'all.
I legit thought this was about to be the look,
and this is not it.
I do want to see if I can still incorporate the jacket
in some way, but it's not the shirt and it's not the shoes.
That's facts.
Okay, take two.
Doing this kind of fringe crop number
with just like my ankle boots.
Again, it's this blue.
She's, like, not my color,
so it's throwing me off a little bit,
but I do kind of like this, like maybe a crop idea.
Okay, this is another option.
Just kind of this like fleece leopard print sweater
that has pockets.
I paired with my white turtleneck.
Maybe this is something.
Not in love.
- Look at these.
Let's take a look.
Okay, so these have nice stretch to them.
So the jeans fit pretty well.
So I'm going to put on the other stuff,
and we're gonna see.
Here is the initial base of the outfit.
I got the pop of yellow in this dress that I've tucked
into the jeans.
I've got the white Air Forces on,
and I think they go well.
So I have this denim jacket here,
and I'm wondering, can I do denim on denim?
Will it work?
I don't hate it.
I'm not a huge denim on denim person,
but I think, I think it kind of works,
but I'm going to try the other outfit
so we can see what's going on.
- Alrighty, so this is what the jeans look like on me.
It kind of reminds me of like Lizzie McGuire.
This isn't really my look when comes to jeans.
These are the options I'm considering.
I could do, like, a corset top.
I feel like a corset top and a choker
would make it a bit more edgy,
but then, like, now that I have it like this,
it's not really going together.
And I have this one,
this kind of gives me like early two thousands pop star,
like Jessica Simpson, back in the day.
I don't know.
I want to do something to this.
I don't wear jeans that look like this.
How can I make this look like me?
To the drawing board.
I have all these little petals.
They're basically like patches that you sew on.
Normally I would just start gluing and sewing
and painting and just dive into it,
but because I'm really not a thousand percent sold
on these jeans, I'm just going to pin these on.
- Please don't let them be skinnies,
please don't let them be skinnies.
Oh, thank the Heavens.
I was scared for a second there
because I do not do skinny jeans.
Definitely a mid-rise.
I'm, like, used to my jeans, like,
being like all the way up here.
But yeah, I'm definitely going to have to go
early two thousands with these
because seventies jeans are, like,
real high-waisted up here, and these are not that.
Let's see what I can come up with.
Pulled out some options here.
Some crop tops, couple of t-shirts.
First option is this seventies,
denim, embroidered long sleeve shirt.
I like this look, but again,
like, the rise on these jeans is just kind of low.
Mid part is just like throwing me off.
So I don't think I like this too much.
Next I have this vintage 90s swimsuit
that I put underneath as like a one-piece.
Still not feeling it.
I feel like I can do a little bit better.
I just bought this little knit crop top.
I just don't think it really works with these pants.
Too much of a crop top.
Onto the next.
- I've never worn flared jeans.
It's not that I don't like them.
It's just that they're not my style.
Okay.
Stay tuned.
I'm back with options.
Part of me really likes just having like a plain top
because I feel like it is such, like,
a different silhouette for me.
Okay, wait, I really...
Okay.
I like the sparkle.
A cute, simple, still, very simple thing.
Okay, but the vibes.
I kind of love this for me.
Maybe not with these jeans.
I am really struggling with the flared bottom.
No, no, no, no, no.
- I'm super excited about this.
It is a bit baggy, but I'm short, so.
I'mma head to my closet.
I'm dealing with a lot of color, a lot of prints,
a lot going on here.
All right, so I've pulled out a couple of selects.
Since these pants are a little baggier,
I went for like smaller crop tops,
just so I'm not feeling completely drowned in the outfit.
I'm not sure yet.
I'm going to need to try them on and see how I feel.
So this outfit?
She's cute.
I just don't think that these pants go as well
with this number.
And I don't really think it's doing anything
to accentuate the flare.
Back to the drawing board.
After trying on a few different outfits,
I think I finally have figured out
how I'm going to style this.
- I have a couple styling options I think might
go really good with these pieces,
and I also recently picked up this denim Margiela dress,
secondhand.
I tried the jeans on with this Margiela piece,
and I think the colors of the respective denim
just aren't working for me.
So now I have the jeans on with this puff in there.
I definitely feel like I am closer.
I'm really liking how this cute little like, bow moment
goes with the pants and flare.
And we'll see what else I can do with some
layering and accessorizing.
- It's denim.
I love denim.
Upon first glance, this kind of denim reminds me of, like,
my middle school Kohl's trip for back to school.
Middle school is all flashing back to me,
where the issue of being a tall girl in 2006,
was that the flares did not hit the ground.
Awkwardly, they would look better if they were
farther down my foot.
I wish they were longer.
All right, closet.
What do you have for me?
That could work.
Okay, you know what?
This is kind of a moment.
I don't know.
It's simple but effective.
I feel like a Sim.
I feel like my Sims always had flares.
I feel like this top does the talking.
I don't know if I love it though.
Okay, I think I've gotten the outfit and I love it.
- Okay.
It looks like a flared jean.
Well, they're kind of ugly,
but we're going to find a way to make them fricking work.
So this is obviously definitely not the final look,
but I think I'm learning some things.
First, I think these definitely need to be
paired with platforms so that I don't get that dragging,
wet-on-the-ground sort of business.
The jeans sit pretty low on my waist,
so I don't think a crop top is my move, personally.
This is not it either.
I put on a different pair of platforms.
I do kind of look like an animal with hooves.
This is like a shirt I would wear in middle school.
It's like waffle textured with a lettuce hem.
I'm going to go finish my makeup and come back
with my final look.
- For my look, I actually went with the first thing
I pulled, which was this rainbow knit crop top,
which is so fun, so colorful,
and I think it goes super, super well
with these flare pants.
And of course I add in my roller skates just to kind of
bring the outfit into a groovy sort of feel.
10 out of 10, absolutely love this fit.
- For my final outfit, I ended up wearing
the white flowy top, the flared jeans,
and my platform Doc Martens.
I paired it with a simple yellow mini bag,
which has no function, but it's still cute.
Overall, it came together pretty nicely.
- Y'all, this look is so sassy, and so me.
I really feel like a throwback Barbie.
The red flamenco top is serving flirty, saucy,
and I feel like the gold flowers actually
make the whole look pop.
Would I wear this look again?
Absolutely.
- For my final look,
I paired our flared jeans with this really cute
early-two-thousands-inspired crop top.
I added this pink knit cardigan that gives it a little pop
of color.
For accessories, I went with these really big, oversized
butterfly earrings,
and then shoes, I went with these chunky Fila dad shoes.
I swear, I need to be in like a music video
or a Lizzie McGuire movie right now.
- We're going to go with this little tank top from Shop ARQ.
They carry up to a 6X, which we love.
And then we have my glasses and the glasses chain,
and it gives kind of like a hippie vibe.
Like to me, it's like butterflies and the big glasses.
It feels very sixties.
- For my final look, I have these really cute flared jeans
paired with a ribbon bow blouse from There!
and an acid-washed denim pinafore,
and of course the ultimate accessory,
a mullet, which everybody should own.
- I paired the flare leg jeans with platform sandals,
a white crop top, a tied up tropical button up,
and gold accessories.
- For my final look,
I decided to pair this pink heart Y2K top
with this heart sparkly belt
that just screams Hannah Montana,
also this pink bag with butterflies and sparkle
that also just matches all the sparkle
that I have in all of my jewelry.
I just feel like I'm a mix of like Britney Spears,
Paris Hilton, Hannah Montana,
and I am obsessed with it.
- This is the look.
I have my white cropped sleeveless turtleneck
underneath my button down that has a flowy tulle all the way
to the bottom that I feel like accents the flared pants
with my white boots heels.
Honestly, living my, like, country witch fantasy.
