Skinny jeans have had an irrefutable foothold in the denim world for what seems like at least a decade, so it comes as no surprise that people are anxious to welcome a new (or, at least another) cut into their closets. As Fall 2015 runways sent all sorts of '70s ephemera down the runways, it was the reappearance of the flare pant, set against swinging fringe and soft suede vests, that got people excited. Distinguished by the wide leg opening that can start as high up as the knee, this boho-inspired look has enough gusto right now to knock our staple skinnies out of rotation. Here are some of our favorite ways to style it.
