When I saw the Free People Jolene Flares in White Indigo Stripe, I instantly wanted to do my ‘Weekend Look’ based around them. I love the vibe that they can give a look and they are an out of the box style compared to what I usually go for.
I decided to stick with the vintage vibe of the jeans, kind of like a modern Janis Joplin when it came to styling them. I started by pairing the jeans with a Motley Crue band tee as they help carry that just thrown on look that Janis is known for. I didn’t want to choose a pair of heels and opted to go for a simple pair of white slip-on Vans. Then to finish the look off, I didn’t want to go for the fur coats or fluid shawls that she is known for either, so I brought it into this time with a T by Alexander Wang trench coat. It streamlines the look without taking away from the inspiration, which I like.
What are your thoughts on striped flares and how many of you are willing to don them styled like this?
