    Kate Bosworth brings back the cropped flare. Here's how to get the look...

    Kate Bosworth is never one to shy away from a new trend and regularly makes sartorial choices that inspire our wardrobes in some way or another, and this latest look is no different.

    The trend in question? Kate Bosworth has taken on, and totally mastered the cropped flare.

    There's no doubt about it, the flare is the style of the summer, and comes high waisted, super-slim, ultra-wide and in pretty much every denim wash you can imagine, and naturally, style savvy Kate Bosworth knows how to wear them, without looking like a 70s throwback.

    Kate pairs her loose-fit, light wash version with black round toe flat shoes, an achingly cool button-up shirt, some clashing black accessories and a stand out lip shade.

    The good news? This outfit is so easy to recreate.

    An easy swap for your signature skinnies, you'll find plenty of cropped denim flares on the high street. The key is to flash a bit of ankle and look for styles that fit perfectly at the waist, and kick out from just above the knee.

    Should you not own a stripe shirt, Equipment has a sleek silk version that we're loving, and will go a long way in your workwear wardrobe, has plenty of layering potential for autumn, and is well worth the spend.

    The black flat is a style essential for summer and beyond. And to complete your Bosworth look, just add a slick of bold lipstick and you'll be good to go.
