Jeans 101 - How To Rock Flared Denims

What Are Flared Jeans?

Flared jeans, also known as flared trousers, are trousers that begin to spread at the knees and continue to widen as they near the ankle. The bottom of flared pants might have a conservative flare, similar to bootcut jeans, or dramatic wide legs. Bell bottom jeans are flare pants with a large, bell-shaped flare from the knee down.

 The style became popular in the 1960s and was one of the most influential fashion trends of the late twentieth century. Denim flares have become popular because, like jeans, they are comfy and easy to accessorize with a variety of tops and shoe styles.

Ways to Style Flare Jeans

When it comes to styling flare jeans, more flair is required. You can't rely solely on its dramatic silhouette, which is why we've put together a list of fashion recommendations for trend-setters to consider. From heeled shoes to the classic French tuck, there are numerous ways to liven up your final look. Wear your flared jeans with these outfit ideas to stay on top of the jean trend:

1.    Keep It Simple With A T-Shirt

If you want to try out flared jeans but aren't sure where to begin, a tee is a safe bet. A crisp white shirt looks great with these flared pants, and if you want to make it a little edgier for heading out at night, throw on a leather jacket as well.

2.    Go For All Denim

Wear a black tee with your flared jeans and a denim jacket for a sleek all-denim look.

3.    Try Smart Casual With A Blazer

To create an office-friendly, casual workday appearance, tuck a button-down shirt into your slacks and throw on your favorite jacket.

4.    Boxy Silhouettes

Fitted flared jeans look great with slightly larger button-ups and sweaters. Of course, this is not an excuse to go overboard with an XXL top.

5.    Create A Summer Ensemble

For a laid-back look, pair these blue jeans with a crop top, a beach hat, and sunglasses.

6.    Get Cozy In A Cardigan

When going outside in the fall or staying inside in the winter, a cardigan or turtleneck will be the perfect piece of apparel to mix with your flare jeans.

7.    Heeled Leather Boots

A pair of heeled boots is an absolute must-have for creating the illusion of height. They not only elongate the legs, but they also keep the hem of your jeans from scraping the ground.

8.    Embellished Belt

If you want a more simple look, consider adding a trendy belt to your outfit. For a more retro look, consider old-western silver buckles instead of haute couture Gucci.

9.    The French Tuck

The majority of flare jeans have a high waist. With that in mind, it's natural to perform a front tuck to help balance your proportions.

Fashion Tips To Avoid With Flare Jeans

Don't get me wrong: you are free to wear whatever you like, but there is some fashion faux pas to avoid while selecting the perfect outfit. Here are some strategies to avoid flare jeans to help you dodge the fashion police.

The Super Exaggerated Bell Bottoms

If your pant hem is large enough to accommodate a car tire, it's generally preferable to donate it. It's also referred to as a walking hazard.

The Elongated Hem

Yes, cuffing will help shorten it, but don't rely on it indefinitely. We recommend taking away any excess fabric if you know how to tailor jeans.

Ankle Booties

To be clear, we mean boots that are far lower than the hem of the jeans. Shoes that extend past the ankle pass the fashion test.

The ‘Tuck In’ Shoe Method

If you're going to wear knee-high boots, keep your denim free and undamaged. Tucking in results in bunching and bulkiness.
