Flared jeans have long been an integral part of the wardrobe and have lost the appearance of exclusively work clothes. Every season, famous designers offer original models of denim items of an interesting cut or with unusual decor. There are quite a few styles of trousers, but only some always remain in trend, and flared jeans are one of them.
Features and advantages of the models
When choosing a style that suits your figure, take into account the following characteristics: the width of the jeans and the rise (the height of the waistband):
- There are two denim models by flare width. The classic option is considered to be boot cut jeans. This is a style that has a smooth cut line and maintains the same width of the trousers at the hips and at the bottom. This is an ideal model for those with an hourglass figure. Smooth curves will advantageously emphasize beautiful hips and slender legs. The classic flare will relieve girls with full calves from their complexes. A more flared model (flared cut) with very wide trousers is not as popular as before;
- Depending on the waist height, trousers are made with a low, regular and high waist. Flared jeans with a high waist look great on slender ladies because they elegantly emphasize the waist. The special advantage of this style is that it visually lengthens the legs. Flared jeans with a regular waist are the most popular because they are perfect for women of any build. Low-waist trousers are preferred by young girls. Such models are originally combined with crop tops (high knitted tops that expose the stomach). Naturally, such a look looks exquisite on young women with an ideal physique.
Flared jeans from the hip will perfectly complement the wardrobe of girls with wide hips. Such models are not common. However, such trousers, sewn from denim with the addition of stretch, effectively fit the figure, but at the same time do not tighten it too much. Jeans of this style also look stylish on girls with thin legs and a voluminous top. The cut of the trousers will help to visually balance the silhouette and add style to the image.
How to wear it correctly
Quite an original style of trousers always attracts the attention of others. In society, there is a stereotype that flared jeans are the choice of representatives of the hippie movement. And they can only be worn with fringed vests and shoes with wooden soles.
Designers offer clothes of simple cut and calm shades to create a harmonious image. There are many options for sets with flared jeans. The lifestyle of the fashionista and her preferences are necessarily taken into account.
Choosing shoes
The democratic nature of modern clothing styles allows you to complement such jeans with different shoes (both casual, sports, and elegant). The main requirement is to create a harmonious image.
The traditional set is flared jeans and shoes without heels. For hot summer, ballet flats or sandals with flat soles, sandals are suitable. For long walks around the city or traveling, it is better to wear jeans with sneakers, moccasins, trainers, sneakers.
Modern fashionistas prefer shoes with low heels or wedges. To look stylish, you should not forget about the length of the trousers - they should cover half of the heel. For short girls or full-figured ladies, it is recommended to choose shoes with a platform. Thanks to this, fashionistas visually become more graceful and taller.
For bold lovers of eye-catching looks, designers offer cropped flared jeans with a raw edge. The advantages of such trousers are that the image is relaxed, the clothes do not restrict movement. The advantage of jeans is that they are easy to make yourself. To do this, old trousers are made shorter, and the bottom is not overcast or rolled up. Slender girls complement their wardrobe with voluminous oversized sweaters, loafers, and espadrilles.
What to wear with flared jeans
When creating a look, not only fashion trends are taken into account, but also the features of the girl's physique, her lifestyle and clothing preferences. Several common options for stylish looks can be distinguished:
- classic flared trousers, knitted top, linen jacket, ballet flats. This laconic look will appeal to fans of a free, simple style. A universal and modest option is a white blouse tucked into jeans. Such a set can be easily decorated with various accessories (bags, belts, metal jewelry);
- High-waisted trousers look great on slim fashionistas. A summer outfit will be complemented by a top tucked into jeans, a thin belt, and open shoes with a flat sole. On cool autumn days, you can wear loafers and a thin turtleneck sweater under a light jacket. A more businesslike look will be achieved by combining flared jeans with ankle boots and a cropped suede/leather jacket;
- Low-waist jeans are still trendy. They go great with crop tops, tank tops, and fitted sweaters. Any look can be complemented by a cardigan or jacket thrown over a shirt or jumper;
- In the cold season, it is advisable to wear flared jeans with a leather jacket, trench coat, short fur coat, straight coat (length slightly above/below the knees).
Naturally, any jeans do not fit into the dress code of companies and government agencies. If the company does not put forward special requirements for the appearance of employees, then dark blue or black classic flared jeans are quite suitable for a business wardrobe. The work look will be complemented by: dark wedge or heeled shoes, a gray thin sweater, a burgundy/dark green jacket.
A sporty look can be easily created with flared jeans of any shade, a T-shirt/jumper, loafers/sneakers. A small leather backpack will support the playful look of the look.
To create a romantic wardrobe, light jeans, wedge sandals, a light silk/cambric blouse gathered at the bottom are suitable. A small bag on a thin strap or chain will add sophistication to the set.
Who should avoid this style?
In order for the image to really turn out organic, it is necessary to take into account the features of the body type. Stylists distinguish several types of female figures. Among the variety of jeans models, it is easy to choose those that will favorably emphasize the physical advantages of a fashionista. But it would also be good to imagine which styles are undesirable to buy.
Owners of the hourglass figure retain an elegant appearance in any clothes. However, jeans with a low waist and large pockets on the hips, in the back can make the figure a little heavier. Especially trousers made of white denim.
Women with a pear-shaped figure stand out with wide hips. Usually, such ladies have a thin waist and a flat stomach. Flared jeans from the hip with a high waist will visually make the bottom voluminous and give the silhouette a triangle shape.
It is difficult to choose a wardrobe for a woman with an apple-shaped figure. Narrow hips, modest breasts, slender legs and almost no waist. Outfits are required that distract attention from a full tummy. But low-rise jeans, on the contrary, will highlight excess volume at the waist. You should also avoid choosing trousers with rich decoration in the waist area. Or models decorated with a belt, which suggest wearing thin short sweaters or shirts tucked into the belt.
A female figure of the "rectangle" type is characterized by hips, shoulders and waist of almost the same width. Flared jeans with a low rise will only emphasize the "rectangularity" of the silhouette. It is also worth avoiding models that flare from the hip.
History of origin
Bell-bottoms owe their appearance to sailors. In the days of sailing ships, men wore trousers of a special cut. The cloche silhouette (translated from French as "bell") provided for the trousers to be widened from the hip and was practically necessary, as it allowed the trousers to be easily rolled up to prevent clothes from getting wet when cleaning the deck or when moving along a shallow shore. The fasteners on the sides allowed for quick removal of clothing in the water. During the hippie youth movement of the 1960s, such unisex pants were worn by both boys and girls.
Fashion trends change rapidly every season. It can be difficult to keep up with new trends. Sometimes successful clothing models complement your wardrobe so organically that you don’t want to give them up. Flared jeans are one of those “eternal” models and settle in the wardrobes of the fair sex for a long time.
