We’re a week into September and I’m left wondering\u00a0where the time went (seriously, you guys) and why we’re suddenly experiencing 100\u00b0F weather. Things aren’t particularly autumnal on the East Coast and I’m the tiniest bit bummed. Where’s my cool breeze? Why am I still shvitz-ing after five minutes outdoors? When can I unearth the sweaters and turtlenecks from the depths of my dresser-drawers?<\/p>\n

That said, it seems counterintuitive to be talking about full-length pants when shorts would be more relevant. But let’s be\u00a0real for a second here: I don’t do shorts. I haven’t for years now, and unless I’m going to be at the beach or at some outdoorsy festival where I know I have zero risk of being attacked by hungry mosquitoes (a rarity), shorts live in the part of my closet designated for all things that I would\u00a0like<\/em> to wear in an ideal world, but don’t for whatever reason. Instead, pants\u2014trousers, jeans, and yes, leggings too\u2014are my go-to year-round regardless of weather.<\/p>\n

The flare is easily my favorite silhouette.\u00a0The skinny-leg is versatile, sure, but it’s been played out for a while now. I like the intention needed when planning an outfit with a flare-leg jean: the perfect cut paired with the perfect heel makes for a solid, sophisticated look. It’s a grown-up take on denim (appropriate for a business-casual workplace) that does wonders in adding height and elongating the legs; make it a high-rise and you’ve got yourself a winner.<\/p>\n
