Casual, ageless, and powerfully low-key key-boho flares are becoming all the fashion once more.
You can never go wrong with flared jeans; it just feels right in that interim season between summer and fall. And this week, Natalie Portman made it official with such ease.
Caught in New York City in a skirt-sweater and a dark maroon pair of boho-style flared trousers, Portman transformed one of the simplest outfits into an exercise in transitional dressing. The ensemble, when paired with a fitted top and minimalist accessories, was demurely glamorous, unviably casual, and completely realistic to wear, which, arguably, is what most of us are hoping for at the moment.
Return of the Flared Jeans
Though it is all straight-leg and wide-leg pants right now, flares are returning–not in such an abrupt, disco way as seen in seasons past, but with a bohemian polish. The modern flare rises high on the waist, fits snugly to the hips, and eases out at the knee, lengthening the leg and flattering most figures.
What is so good about them as mid-season style?
Wearability: They can be worn with summer tanks or linen shirts, or fall knits and blazers.
Proportion: The flare lends the volume necessary to balance out structured tops or floaty layers.
High comfort: They are breathable, unlike skinny jeans. They slide as opposed to wide-leg trousers.
Natalie correctly demonstrates that the flared trouser is not just a retro call: it is timelessly cool, an adult alternative to women who would like to be dressed, but without crying.
How to Dress up Like Natalie
To give that energy a fashion twist without looking costume, want to? Here’s how:
1. Select a dark and wealthy color
Flares in colors such as maroon, rust, chocolate, and moss green seem luxuriant and seasonal.
2. Knee the top on Cap sizes 9, 9,1, and 911
The proportion is balanced with a tight tee, bodysuit, or crop sweater that allows the flare to stand out.
3. Experiment with pointy boots or platforms, but not too tall
The add-on height pumps up the effect of lengthening of legs and makes the flare just fit.
4. Use lighter material during summer
Cotton-linen or viscose makes the look relaxed and airy.
5. Include very few accessories
Have the trousers do the trick. It just requires a pair of hoops, a slouchy tote, and oversized sunnies.

Final Thought
Whether you are going back to the working day, walking in town, or are having a late summer lunch, flared trousers combine just that right blend of easy elegance and a sense of fashion confidence. Natalie Portman not only has a trend-worthy take, but it is timeless.

So when you are stocking up on the collection between seasons, do not shun the flares. And back again is the silhouette, and better than ever before.
