Trend watch: flared jeans

Kate Moss is more or less the leader of fashion trends, especially when it comes to jeans. Love her or hate her, she single-handedly pioneered skinny jeans to the point that we all thought we couldn't live without them.

Now, days before her latest Topshop launch, Ms Moss has been seen sporting flared jeans. Is this possibly a hint of what we might see from her latest collection?

Flared jeans are obviously much easier to wear than skin tight skinny jeans, especially if (like me) you have hips! The larger flare balances out the shape. These two pairs are available on the high street now for under £30! Flares should be slightly higher waist than you've been used to which makes them more flattering.

    Like SelinaC, I've been wearing flared jeans for years. I find it a bit annoying when something that's been a staple of my wardrobe suddenly becomes 'fashionable' just because some famous person is randomly spotted wearing it.

    The jeans she is wearing are called Lovestory (light weight) by J Brand. Revolve have them and offer international shipping.

    Most people comment that the sizing is small, so make sue you check the inch/ measurements rather then the `waist size` and order 2 sizes to chose the correct fit. They are a great jean. Topshop`s own bootflare has a similar fit only slightly less flared and are cut more for the traditional British figure then J Brand. If you are tall or of slight build J Brand will look great imo.

    Er..... I've been wearing flared jeans for years - do you think someone will pay me to lead the next fashion trend?! More likely I've just been supremely unfashionable but dressed to my shape - now when will that become a trend?
