It’s the time of the year when people start to look to the new year's trends and ponder about the larger direction of clothing. With questions such as are skinny jeans still in fashion becoming increasingly frequent. And the short answer is: yes, skinny jeans are still in fashion - they're going nowhere, at least in terms of trends. Spring/summer 2011 trends are all about all about flared, wide jeans and flared trousers for both men and women. Skinny jeans have become so common, such a staple in most everyone's wardrobe, that people are seeking an alternative. Forget the low waist pants were you can’t bend down or sit without plumbers crack. 1970s fashion is a major influence in the trends across 2011.
Acne have nailed the men's look as a part of their spring / summer 2011 collection, with their interpretations of men's flared jeans pictured above
Ladie rules for flared pants
• a hem that is at least as wide as your foot - the men's hem that you can see on the pictures above doesn't apply to the women's interpretation of the trend
• loose at the knee - I've already see some takes on the trend where the jeans are cut very slim down the thigh and the knee and then flare out from below the knee cap. This is a 1990s interpretation of flares and not the style that's on trend in 2011
