25 best flared jeans that suit every body

0
41

It’s a rare treat when a fashion trend comes back around that looks jaw-dropping on every body shape, so we’re thrilled that flared jeans are back with a bang. Obviously, their Y2K vibe (via the 1970s) perfectly feeds our never-ending desire to encapsulate the 2000s – and the late ’90s – through our wardrobes. But we love flared jeans even more thanks to their uncanny ability to look so damn good on every single shape and size of body.

Worn by Margot Robbie and Bella Hadid (sold) – and featured in various iterations on the catwalks of Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham and Gucci – you can wear flared jeans with strappy sandals and a corset top for our favourite jeans-and-a-nice-top combo, or match them with an oversized blazertank top and loafers for a day in the IRL office. (FYI: darker washes look smarter than pale, if you’re thinking of finding a style for workwear).

That said, the real joy of the best flared jeans is that they can be styled in so many more ways. Whether you’re channelling cowgirl-chic or your fave T-Swizzle era, their versatility is why they’re a staple in the wardrobes of every stylist, influencer and celebrity in London – and beyond – that you can think of.

Search for retro-inspired, wide-leg pairs with high-waist details and retro vibes to channel your inner J-Lo or Hailey Bieber. We’ll give you a head-start with these Gucci Appliquéd High-Rise Flared Jeans (we are unhealthily obsessed with them…).

Can’t choose a colour? Pink is still on the radar, and these jeans by Wrangler absolutely understood the assignment. But whichever colour and wash you choose, there’s just one thing for sure: it’s definitely time to give your skinny and boyfriend jeans a well-earned rest.
