Ask A Stylist With Rachel Zoe

I want to keep wearing the high-waisted flare jeans I got this spring, but what should I pair them with for fall? I need some chic suggestions!

The fabulous thing about fashion is that there is no one right way to go about wearing a certain piece. High-waisted flare jeans are the perfect example because they can easily transition from season to season with the proper counterparts. Now, let's discuss how you can turn the spring staple into a fall favorite.

Thinking chic—how else?—the first outfit that comes to mind is to style your beloved wide-leg jeans with a knit tee (a cozy alternative to spring's lightweight tops!), structured jacket—try a richly-colored, cropped option or neutral blazer—and posh platform booties. This will create a solid foundation for an office-appropriate look that will also keep you warm when the temperature starts to drop. But we're not done just yet! As a final touch, make sure to personalize the ensemble with a few thoughtfully chosen accessories, like a classic skinny leather belt and conspicuously printed scarf.

Taking your baby blue flares into the weekend, it is always a good idea to have a casual, yet crisp getup on deck so that you can head out the door at the last minute while still looking put together. For this instance, I've got you covered by suggesting you team your high-waisted pants with a long, loose-fitting tunic, chunky knit cardigan, and wow factor wedge sandals. Hide messy hair under a stylish hat, such as a feather-adorned fedora or slouchy beanie for added cool points. Still feel like the look is missing something? Punch it up with a ruby red manicure! Hope this helps you work your wide-legs! xoRZ
