Flare Jeans

Get ready to rethink your denim game.

What Are Flare Jeans?

Flare jeans are like regular jeans, but with a fun twist. They start with a tailored fit through the hips and thighs, then open up into a wider leg starting around the knee, creating that signature "flare" shape. Think of them as the rebellious cousin of straight-leg jeans, with a silhouette that adds a bit of drama to your look. Flare jeans usually sit at or just above the waist, giving a flattering lift to your backside while keeping everything nicely tucked in.

 

What sets flare jeans apart from your standard denim is their ability to balance proportions. They’re especially great for highlighting curves, making them a go-to for pear-shaped and hourglass figures. That said, they can add a little extra length to shorter legs and bring balance to broader shoulders too. 

 

At the end of the day, though, the beauty of flare jeans is that they’re a statement piece anyone can pull off—because style isn’t about fitting a mold; it’s about finding what makes you feel confident.
