This post makes me excited.  I've been so ready for the skinny-leg jeans trend to be over and done with, and hopefully, this is just the start.  While there are some exceptions, many skinny jeans are too tight and show off your legs and behind in unflattering ways.  Wide leg or relaxed fit pants will flatter your appearance and yet keep you modest and stylish at the same time.

In order to achieve the right look, wide legged pants should either cut off at the ankle or the knee.  However, there are also cute styles of wide legged pants that flare out to the top of the foot.  Take a look for yourself.

Here are some examples of modest, wide leg pants: 

Don't get me wrong: short dresses are very much "in" as well, but long, flowing dresses are also in style, so long as you wear them the right way.  Long, flowing dresses and skirts should be either in bright colors and exotic prints or more natural, earthy colors.  When you wear these long dresses, try to even them out with natural-looking makeup, tribal bangles, or very simple jewelry. 

The great thing about long dresses is that they don't show off so much of your legs and thighs like the mini-dresses do.  However, you must be careful about how much they show up top, because you don't want to buy a dress that is only modest from the waist down.  Be careful about how low the dress is cut, and if you are uncomfortable showing off your bare shoulders and arms, then you may have a difficult time finding a long dress this time of year.

If you find yourself in the perplexing situation of wanting to purchase a long dress that dips too low or shows too much shoulder, then you can possibly purchase a tank top to wear underneath, or a lightweight pullover jacket that covers your shoulders.
