We here at Who What Wear like to talk in great detail (and with much passion!) about our jeans. They are one of the hardest-working items in our wardrobes, after all. We've already touched upon the biggest jean trends we'll all be wearing this year—including vintage-inspired denim, distressed jeans, and one of our personal favorites right now: boot-cut and flare jeans.
Yes, friends, the '70s silhouette is back, and we've already spotted the style on some of our favorite celebrities including, Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra, and Gigi Hadid. Thanks to designers such as Celine, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci, leg-lengthening flares are set to be huge this year. And we've noticed that fashionable French girls, in particular, have been quick to jump on the trend.
The pinnacle of effortlessly chic, below we're sharing some of the cool ways French girls are wearing the non–skinny-jean trend right now. Invest in one of the chic pairs below and you'll be wholly on-trend for the year.
The coolest way to wear the '70s boot-cut silhouette in winter is with a vintage-looking faux-fur jacket. Ground the look with neutral brown boots and finish with a pair of retro sunglasses. So chic.
