If I opened your denim drawer right now, I bet I could guess some of the key silhouettes stored inside—straight-leg jeans, skinnies and perhaps even an of-the-moment outlier like the wide-leg 90s cut. But what’s one style that probably hasn’t surfaced to the top of the pile as much lately? Flares. Sure, cropped flares have had their moment in recent years but the more polarising bootcut and bell-bottom styles (aka non–skinny jeans) haven’t been as popular— until now.
Designers from Bally to Dior reintroduced fresh flare jeans in their spring/summer collections and the silhouette was cemented as the next It denim pick in the ready-to-wear offering from the likes of Saint Laurent and Rejina Pyo. Even celebrities like Gigi Hadid, J.Lo, and Harry Styles have already been following suit in ’70s-inspired flares. Right now, flares are proving their sartorial worth within our spring wardrobes.
To highlight the look further, below we’ve broken down how the flared trend is taking over the runway, celeb and fashion worlds right now, as well as linking out to some of the coolest cuts in case you feel ready to try the trend again this season. Keep scrolling for everything you need to know about flared jeans.
