The Cropped Flare Obsession Continues

11/02/2016cropped flare jeans, DIY frayed hems, gianvito rossi, how to fray the hems of your jeans, public desire, style

Despite last season’s 70s comeback, full-length, fully-flared jeans (or trousers, for that matter) failed to make enough of an impact on me to actually force my supposedly-fashionable arse down to Topshop to pick up an affordable pair. Sure, I fantasised about having a pair. But I also simultaneously fantasised about having very long, very slim legs to slip into said flared jeans (along with being dirty stinking rich and owning penthouse in Knightsbridge and having 10 really fit boyfriends). But unfortunately you can’t have it all, and rather than choosing to look like a dumpy mum in flares, I opted out of the trend altogether in an all very Dragon’s Den fashion. I’m sorry flared jeans, I’m out. Yet still, there has been some form of sartorial hole in my life that can’t quite be filled by skinny styles…

Enter the cropped flare. Cuter, daintier, and way cooler than the could-be-your-mums flared jeans, this newer style is shaking up silhouettes all over the place. Having already fallen hard for my River Island pair last year and with us warming up to the spring/summer seasons (not really though – it’s still freezing) I figured it was about time to invest in a vintage-wash blue pair with cool, roughed-up frayed hems. Alas, the great British high-street gave no such denim. Instead, I picked up this almost-perfect pair from Miss Selfridge and went to town on them fraying the hems with scissors, tweezers, and a cheese grater, with Rihanna’s ANTI playing melodiously in the background. The result? These super cool, perfectly and personally customised frayed jeans. Oh, and a DIY blog post too.

    OMG those jeans, I have been looking for the perfect pair to purchase and fray and those Miss Selfridge ones are exactly what I was after! I can't deal with your backpack either, I spotted that in Topshop the other week and fell in love – it was all in that baby pink faux fur x

    These pants look amazing on you! I feel like the cropped flare is a cut which will suit my figure a lot more than the classic flare, definitely going to pick up a pair!
