Flares are a big trend this fall/winter, which is surprising as they’ve typically been a spring hit. This denim cut can add length to any height and looks good on any body type. Now that skinny jeans have become so common — they are a staple in almost everyone’s wardrobe — Stylistas are seeking a less skintight alternative. Also, 1970s fashion is enjoying a revamp this year and flares are a staple to that era of style. Below are three ways to incorporate flared denim into your winter wardrobe, including other trends such as colored denim and sequins. All below $30! Read More »

For as long as I can remember, I have been yelling at my mom for not saving her 60s/70s garb. I would look through albums upon albums full of her in big sunglasses, major platforms and super-duper bell bottom jeans. Talk about may-jor fashion envy.

And save for that year somewhere around 1996 when Paris Blues Super Bell Bottoms made a quick comeback, the flared jean has been buried in the fashion attics along with record players paving the way for skinny jeans and low rise jeans. And besides, let’s be real for a second here…who looked good in ANYTHING in 6th grade?!

But, my fashion obsessed friends, my prayers have been answered. It’s like I actually willed those photos of mi madre to life. Read More »

I’ve yet to recommend a pair of jeans on Versatile Style, so that became my mission this week. Most people think of jeans as super versatile items, when in fact, they’re not. The fit, wash and details on a pair of jeans are actually extremely restrictive and more often than not, clump them into a “casual” category.

Anyways, with the big flare trend coming back for denim, I decided to find a classic pair that will wear for years and suit your every purpose. Enter Citizens of Humanity Angie Super Flare!

Back-to-school means two of my favorite things:

1) Back-to-school supplies.  Seriously. Walking down the aisles of Office Max the year I got a brand new set of scratch and sniff markers has earned this yearly event a very, very special place in my heart.

2) Back-to-school jeans. As a kid, it was because your jeans didn’t fit you come back-to-school time; you were growing. As a college student… well, same story but with one minor difference: we’re growing out instead of up. Details schmetails.
