Hollywood celebs are giving their trusty skinny jeans a break this summer and making way for the flare. Although this trend may look daunting, it's actually quite flattering — flares create the illusion of longer pins, thinner thighs and slimmer buttocks — hallelujah! Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss go for the full-on flare, which they balance out with perfectly tailored tops. Nicole Richie channels this season's Seventies boho look with her easy flares and printed blouse, while Rachel Bilson opts for a subtle kick.
STYLIST'S TIP Remember to take time to find the perfect pair and make sure the leg is long enough to hit the tops of your shoes (towering platform sandals are the best footwear option for this look).
