I Never Thought I'd Find Jeans to Flaunt My Curves, and Then I Found These AE Flares

I haven't worn flare jeans since I was about 14. It was my go-to fit in junior high, and all the denim I owned were bell bottoms. But as I grew older and my curves got curvier (Shout-out to my mom for those genes!), it became more and more difficult to find jeans that fit me properly and enhanced my curves rather than making me just look wide. I carefully tucked all my flare jeans away, convinced that they were now unflattering on me, and called it a day.

Fast forward to now, when a pair of American Eagle's Ne(x)t Level Curvy Highest Waist Flare Jeans crossed my desk and I decided to take a chance on them before writing them off completely. To say I'm glad I put them on is an understatement. The first thing I did was text my mom, "I just put on a pair of flares and I don't hate them, what is happening? I haven't worn flares since junior high!" To which she replied, "I never stopped wearing flares, get with the program." What can I say - my mom knows what's up.

Not only are these flares flattering on my shape, but the cut and the fit of these pants has actually made me more willing to wear denim. The Ne(x)t Level Stretch of these pants means that they move with me, but don't stretch out to the point of being too loose. I refuse to wear anything that doesn't stretch anymore, but I get annoyed when my stretchy jeans lose their shape halfway through the day. Not with these!

The high waist also sits above my stubborn belly and keeps it all tucked in where it needs to be. But here's the best part: the waist on these pants is made to nip in a little bit, so I don't have to worry about the gap in the back. For someone like me, with wide hips and a smaller waist, I'm constantly dealing with pants that fit one area but not the other.

The size of the flare, BTW, is also subtle enough not to overpower my short legs. Instead, the shape just feels proportional to my hips and the rest of my body. AE also offers its jeans in a wide variety of sizes, from 00 to 24 in women's, and in all different lengths to suit your height. These flares are truly magical - they made me actually like denim again! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy several more pairs.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
