What is a "flare"?
A flare is a style or cut of clothing that flares out at the bottom, creating a wider shape. This style was popular in the 1960s and 1970s and can be seen in items such as flared jeans, skirts, and dresses. Flare can be achieved through a variety of methods such as pleating, gathering, or adding additional fabric to the hemline. Flared clothing is often associated with a more bohemian or retro style, and can add a touch of whimsy or playfulness to an outfit.
