Look at those flares!! For my eighteenth birthday last month, I was lucky enough to receive two beautiful pairs of pants from my parents, one being vintage and the other from Rolla's. See here if you want to read more about my birthday and here for a lil showcase of the gifts I received. So, I thought it would be fun to show you how I styled each pair in my day-to-day life, especially for a more casual, Summer transition outfit! So with some help from both Ben and my Grandmother to get these photos, here it is!
Rolla's Eastcoast Tan Cord Flare
I had been lusting after these pants for a while, which is unlike me as I'm usually not a fan of anything that isn't second-hand. But, I've found it increasingly difficult to find pants at thrift stores that I actually love wearing and ordering vintage online can always be risky. So, as my birthday was approaching I decided what better time to finally grab myself a pair of Rolla's! Made in Australia, I'm a huge fan of this denim and pants brand, I love all of the styles they create and their flares are perfect in every way. I ordered the tan cord flares in a size smaller than I would usually wear and I'm so pleased that I did because they fit perfectly. I did this as I figured the cord material would stretch and I really wanted a pair of high waisted pants that would fit me well without a belt.
I've already worn these flares a ton and they've quickly moulded to my body and become so comfy. The high waisted fit is really flattering and they flare out perfectly on the leg, creating such a vintage 70s look, despite being brand new. Even though I am a huge advocate for buying second-hand I do think there's a lot to be said about having a good pair of pants that just fits you perfectly. Plus, I know I'll be living in these babies for at least the next few years, if not forever, so I think it's well worth it. If you're thinking of picking up a pair of Rolla's I would recommend sizing down, especially if you don't want to wear a belt with them! See the tan cord flares here.
1970s Vintage High Waisted Limoncello Flares
On the opposite side of the pants spectrum, here are possibly the most beautiful pair of true vintage flares I've ever come across. It was risky finding these online, but as the waist measurement was exactly my size I figured it was a safe bet. I couldn't be happier with these epic yellow flares, the colour is even more gorgeous in person and such a unique shade of yellow that I know will complement so many pieces in my existing closet perfectly. I found these flares from a Los Angeles seller, Look Vintage (see here) and my overall experience with her store was so positive, a great shipping rate, super fast and these pants are just amazing.
I love that rather than being a thicker denim material, these flares are made from cotton, so although they're not too light I think they'll be ideal for Summer evenings. I can't wait to style these with my collection of button-up shirts and halters in the Summer. I'm also dreaming of a full yellow look with some huge wedges and a funky headband!
