A vintage shape for modern women
Embraced by 1960s bohemians and put on the map in the 1970s, women's flared jeans (aka bell-bottoms) sit snuggly at the hip and thighs, widening out at the knees to create a bell or flared shape at the leg.
The more modern version takes its cues from the 90's flare, constructed with more of a bootcut (a less dramatic flare) than a traditional bell-bottom. Levi's have championed flares for decades and it's easy to see why this style continues to be on high rotation.
What to wear with flare jeans
Flare jeans on women are one way to make a bold statement. As a type of wide leg jeans, flares bring a fun and carefree attitude to the denim landscape often missing from traditional straight leg or baggy jeans.
Here's a few ideas for how to style flare jeans using classic Levi's® apparel you may already have in your closet.
Fitted tops or tucked-in tees
Essential tops and tees can play a supporting role to highlight finishings and details that make Levi's® flared jeans iconic. Signature back pocket stitching and intricate belt loops stand out on vintage washes, but these details can only be seen when other apparel takes a back seat.
Structured jackets and blazers
To complete any look, add polish with a loose fitting blazer or cropped jacket. Channeling 'effortless casual' matches the energy of women's flared jeans without coming across as messy or unplanned.
Heels, platforms or boots
To emphasise the flared silhouette, think of ways to add drama and height with shoes. High heels, platforms or even a strong boot can pull focus to the flared shape without detracting from it.
