She has a knack for turning what she wears into common street fashion.

I love Kate's style...but please no flares!!!
(although her ones in that pic are ok :O)

lets be realistic... they are so much more flattering on our legs with a pair of heels... dont get me wrong i LOVE my skinnysand rarely wear anything else, but a bit of a boot cut/flair also can look very sexy!

Agreed, as far as flares/boot cuts in women's denim go, I think they're best when paired with a heel.

However, what with the recent Foho trend, it wouldn't be too far off the mark to see flares making a comeback.

ye wen i saw flares i was like ahhh but those are not bad... they are not too flarey :P

I still love skinnys but I think i might be persuaded by something a bit different, skinny cut has been around for a while now

I never used to be able to find good jeans... until skinny came in. I'd be upset to see skinnys go. Flared / bootcut look amazing on a lot of girls, but for me I always find that they're either too loose or too tight on the hips; and they stretch more around the waist and fall down as a result (whereas skinny jeans don't fall down because they're tight everywhere else.)

I'm happy for jeans that are skinny / fitted for the most part but with a bell shape at the bottom. I think that's a good balance.

I'll just add to that that I do think it's quite likely that the shapes and cuts of bootleg / flared jeans will have improved since the skinny jeans trend to be more well fitted. I will be interested to see if that's the case.

Generally speaking, I believe jeans are most flattering when you have a degree of vertical symmetry above/below the knee- that is why "skinny" jeans create the effect of short legs on bulkier builds and excessive flaring appears very odd.

Swings from one extreme to the other eh!
