Skinny flares for someone short?

I am five foot three and a size 6, and skinny jeans have been my friend for the last few years.

However, I wondered whether I should try something else for the summer - maybe skinny flares, as I imagine they would look good with sandals...

Has anyone tried any? Are there any brands that would work for someone with short legs?

I would like to know this too. Had a trawl around town yesterday and all the flares I could find were not in short length. Only found them in next and H&M and both only in long or really long.

It's tricky. With skinnies, I usually buy normal ones and have them taken up, but with flares that might not work.

Gap petite curvy boot cut look very flared and currently available in your size online at 30% off.

I think at size six you could carry it off. I'm the same height but a more upholstered size 12 and I think straight jeans will be a better look for me. I'm digging out the straight jeans again.

although once you get your eye in, what looked weird to start with beginns to look normal.

I'm the same size and a bit shorter than you and fancy some flares too. (Was on the 'flares' thread but waiting until this month as last month was abit expensive).

I was debating the topshop ones, but not sure if htey are flared enough. Will check out the gap ones!

Thanks all. Might have to go and try lots on. The gap ones would be good but I think they are more of a true bootcut rather than flare...
