Flare Jeans

Fashion in the late 60’s and early 70’s went over the top in some very fun and appealing ways. Bell bottom jeans were all the rage, and the wider the bell, the better. In the last few years, fashion has gone Retro, and jean makers are joining the trend. Many customers prefer a wider at the bottom look without going all the way to bell, and the Women’s Flare jean style was born. Victoria Beckham has fueled the look by sporting them around L.A. the last couple of years.

While flares come in all variety of waists, most feature a classic mid-rise waist. The top fit is fairly snug, to produce a sexy silhouette that contrasts with the widening from the calf to the hem. This young and hip style is found on all washes and looks of denim, so you can customize your flares with a stone washed material, some beads, or stylish stitching. And a general rule is that the taller the gal, the wider the flare she can get away with, so keep that sense of proportion as you shop online. Among the many jean purveyors making flares, check out those from BCBG Max Azria, 7 for All Mankind, and Abercrombie & Fitch.
