I’ve been in a denim rut for a little while now, skinnies with boots? Boyfriend jeans in winter? Well, I think I may have found the answer. Enter the cropped kick flare jean, yes she has been around for a few seasons but I haven’t yet been convinced – the J Brand ones are too pricey for me and I wasn’t too sure how long they’d be around for. But now, the High Street has fully adjusted and everywhere from Gap to Zara have done a version – they’re narrow on the leg and kick out just above the ankle – THE perfect jeans to show off your boots with. And guess what? They look good with flats too – so they will take you through to Spring seamlessly.

These Topshop ‘Dree’ jeans have been on and off sold out ever since they landed online. I’ve been watching closely for a pair to come back in stock and they seem to be replenishing, it definitely seems like a style which will be sticking around. Oh and I wear belts again now, I’m not sure when it happened but suddenly jeans don’t feel right without a little bit of added structure – look for a classic black with silver buckle style – mine is from Gap and they have a good selection.

And for this cold, wet weather? I’ve been relying on my classics…too cold to think about buying anything new season – a breton and a camel coat will suffice until the weather clears up. The coat is from Atterley winter collection but sadly they have gone into administration. I am absolutely gutted as they had so much potential as a brand and the S/S collection was something I was really excited for. It just shows how much of a tough financial climate we are still in.
And the boots – they were a cheeky buy, mainly because they are £22.50 in the sale and you can never have too many pairs of black boots, right?

What's your view on wearing cropped kick flares if you're only 5'3" ?
Looks like Stef has answered, below! But I definitely think it's possible…they're slim in the leg so actually kind of elongate them – Lucy Williams from Fashion Me Now is only 5 foot 4 and looks great (but she would also look great in a plastic bag) x
I love this style of jeans and bought some from J Crew last season. I'm only 5ft 2" and the trick, I find, is to buy a slim style dark wash with stretch that hit just above the ankle, then I do a narrow fold over at the hem, rather than get them tailored and lose the flare. Works.
Fab news! And that reminds me, must pop into J Crew for some new season buys! x
Love this outfit. Such a classic and cool look. The jeans are totally cute and would transition into warmer weather perfectly. Also, cannot believe you paid 22 pounds for those boots! They look expensive!
