It’s been a long time since we last saw someone really rocking a good pair of flares, but the good news is that Pepe Jeans have sparked a mini revival with their 1970s inspired collection for summer 2015. Don’t get us wrong, we love a pair of skinny jeans as much as the next fashion loving online magazine website blog thing, but variety is the spice of life and all that so it will be fun throwing on the ankle flankers once again, especially with the skinny silhouette of Pepe’s renditions as they taper out right at the last minute on the calf.
The pair below flick-out just a little, blurring the line between flares and boot cut jeans and they’re a brilliant blast from the past that works hard at looking cool. It also means that you’ll have an option in your wardrobe that doesn’t entirely cut off the circulation to your lower extremities this summer, while also helping you not to look exactly like everyone else every other day. The light blue Piccadilly design is just one of a few flared jeans available from Pepe this year and they all feature names that link into the company’s London heritage.
We’re also big fans of the two Pimlico flared jeans below, which are available in both a strong indigo tone and a mid blue with worn detail for the thigh and belt section. The double button flap makes gives them even more unique qualities and Pepe’s dedication to quality they’ll look good for a few years to come, so if it takes a little time for the heat wave of the 70s inspired style to catch on you’ll be ready in advance.
If you’re looking for even more of a worn look, there’s the Olympia option below, which are borderline hippy bo-ho, especially when teamed up with a pair of sandals.
The post summer of love love-in goes beyond just jeans though as it also includes everything from flower power prints to tie-dye and floaty light fabrics. Our pick of the collection are below.
This round neck floral print dress is pretty cute with a double hem and floaty long sleeves. The button down front and side tape are good embellishments to make it stand out a little more.
Again it’s all about the detail with this print shirt and we love the tie-dye style for the lower half. Works perfectly with the shorts.
The lower print, long sleeve, shorty jumpsuit above is bold and stylish with a honing belt and button down front to keep you cool in the hotter months.
The long sleeve appreciation continues with the light blue grandad neck collar shirt above. With a pair of jeans or shorts it’s all summer, but with dark trousers it would transfer well to work wear.
OK, so what wardrobe is ever really complete without a few capes. This tartan check cape is one of the coolest we’ve seen this year and would make a good addition whether or not you’re a long term cape addict, or you’re about to take your first steps in their glory. It’s all about being bold every now and again and this will definitely help you achieve that.
