Now that we’ve gotten used to wearing comfortable clothes during the Coronavirus pandemic, we don’t want to give up that laid-back feeling. But we really want to look good too, so designers have come up with new ways to do just that. This spring, there are loose designs of just about every item of clothing, including jeans. So there is a resurgence of flared jeans once again. They come in a wide variety of styles — from ’70s bell-bottomed versions to a more modern kick-flare leg, as well as crops. Age doesn’t matter because there’s a modern way of wearing flares. And when you do that, there’s the benefit that it makes you appear younger! So let’s take a look at the fundamentals of how to look terrific in flares.
First of all, if you don’t wear jeans you can get flares in materials other than denim. To get away from the casual look, opt for a dark shade of flared jeans like black, a clean looking white, or even a navy blue in a plain style without rips to get a more classic feel. Also, you can get flares in fabrics that dress up the look. Or you can even buy trouser flares.
Now here are the fundamentals on how to look terrific in flares, starting with basic styling tips and followed by outfit ideas!

Hello, and welcome to another in my series of Style Tips! Now that the weather is warming up here in Detroit, I feel ready to go sleeveless. With that in mind, I have a new style tip to share with you. As a bonus, I have (guess what?) ways to wear it! 😉 That’s my specialty.
Age doesn’t matter. If you don’t like to show your arms, you can add a lace or sheer or fishnet top underneath your sleeveless top. Or you could wear a t-shirt under it. Or you can just go sleeveless in your home with your loved ones, and then add a sheer or lightweight layer on your way out the door. There are infinite possibilities…well, almost. Lol!
Whatever you decide, check out my Style Tip of the Day.

Were you almost ready to get rid of tops that were too short? Have they been sitting in your closet for a long time not being worn? What do you do when you have a top that you consider to be too short?
You can add a top extender underneath it to make it longer! Age doesn’t matter. There are different kinds of top extenders, or what may be considered tunic-length tops with a hem made of lace, ruffles or chiffon.
Previously, I wrote about skirt extenders. They are used to lengthen tunics or dresses that are too short for you. You can read about those in my post, “What in the World is a Skirt Extender?” HERE.
A top extender or tank extender can be worn with a kimono, vest or any top over it. Then you can add skinny or straight-leg jeans, pants, leggings, jeggings or a slim skirt.
Why don’t you choose a top extender and look through your closet for all of the tops you could possibly pair it with? Use my ideas below, or make your own list of outfit ideas for the weeks ahead!

A kimono makes a simple dress or jeans and a tee into something special, just like a blazer or jacket. You can cover a body-conscious dress with a flowing kimono. On the other hand, a black lacy tank or any sexy camisole makes a kimono date night ready. Throw a kimono over a hoodie and jeans outfit. Use a kimono as a robe around the house. Or try a kimono as a bathing suit cover-up! There are so many ways to wear a kimono that age doesn’t matter. In this post, I have come up with over 45 sure-fire ways to rock a kimono.
