After reading Katelyn’s Monday post, Slouchy Doesn’t Have to be Sloppy, I couldn’t resist looking further into retro wide leg pants..

Super flared jeans:

The Iconic Fashion Trend of the 1970s

Prepare to get groovy because the flare is making a comeback! Farrah Fawcett, from the original Charlie’s Angels, is a prime source for flared inspiration. What makes this retro trend even more fantastic is that the style and cut of the wide leg pants that you will see in stores are almost exactly the same as they were back in the day! So, raid your mom’s closet to get the look for free or scour local vintage stores to find your one-of-a-kind pair!

These 1969 Mid-Weight High-Rise Trouser Jeans from Gap have a high waist cut, super flare, and longer length. Perfect the look with chunky wedge heels that not only top off the vintage style, but are also surprisingly comfortable!

If you want to go for a more subtle retro look, check out Levi’s Flare Mid-Rise Jean from Urban Outfitters. These light wash and skinny fit flared jeans give a fantastic modern twist to this 70’s throwback.

Happy shopping and don’t forget to shake your groove thang.
