This becomes truer if you don’t have the supermodel X-factor vibe. So, the expert stylists at Styl Inc have got some outfit inspiration for how to style flared jeans. With our research and celebrity inspired looks, you can be assured that there is something here that will fit your style. 

WHAT ARE FLARED JEANS?

Before we get to the multiple ways in which you can wear flared jeans, let us see what flared jeans are. Flared jeans are trousers that begin flaring out from your knees right down to your ankles. They get wider as they go down your leg. The flare at the ankle can be small like boot cut jeans or have a super dramatic flare. This style of jeans became popular in the 1960s and are primarily associated with the hippies. 

TYPES OF FLARED JEANS

Another aspect to know about flared jeans in the different types of the same. The more knowledge you have about them, the more you will know which one suits your body type the best. Once you know the flared jeans that flatter you, styling them is easy. So, here is your list of the types of flared jeans

Bootcut Jeans

Bootcut jeans are the least dramatic of all flared jeans. The flare in them goes outward at a 20-degree angle. They jut out starting at the claves to make enough room for boots. 

High Waisted Flared Jeans

High waisted flare jeans sit higher on your natural waist, just above or below your navel. This cut of flared jeans goes well with bodysuits, tank tops and other tops that you can easily tuck in. They help accentuate your waist and add length to your legs. 

Cropped Flared Jeans

These are a great DIY at home pair of trousers. All you need to do is just trim off the bottom part to give your pants a quirky look. These pants end significantly above your ankle but below your mid-calf. 

Wide flared jeans

The wide flared jeans are the most dramatic of them all. They are quite reminiscent of the 1970s and have experienced a resurgence in recent years. They have flares that extend outward at a wide-angle either starting at the knee or from the waist down. 

WAYS TO STYLE FLARED JEANS

Now that you know what flared jeans are and the different types, let’s get to the primary topic at hand. What are the different ways to style flared jeans? Below, we have a list of the different outfits you can create with flare jeans. Just pick the ones that fit your style and happy dressing!

Style Flared Jeans With a Bralette

To bring the 70s flared jeans to 2022, wear them with a bralette on the top. The cropped upper wear is a quintessentially 21st-century creation that updates even the most vintage of items. The best part about this pairing is that a bralette will compliment every type of flared jeans. Not just that, the different ways you can style a bralette will make the flared jeans outfit the ideal choice for different occasions. So, just pick a trouser that flatters you, a bralette of your choice and add a chic jacket on top. Finish the look with cool accessories and comfortable footwear. 

Classic White Shirt

If you somehow manage to get your hands on a vintage pair of flared jeans, you are the lucky one. The fabric and fit of those worn Levis is something you won’t find today. But, even if you do not have a vintage pair of trousers, you can just style your flared jeans with a classic white shirt. The juxtaposition of something trendy and something classic is always a hit. You also get multiple outfits with the same foundation. Depending on the type of white shirt you select, you can wear this look to the office on casual Fridays or to a brunch date. The world is your oyster. Just make sure that you add some statement jewellery to your look. 

Denim On Denim

A pairing that never goes out of style, denim on denim is there to save you on the worst of days. Style flared jeans with a denim top in the same wash to give some length to your body. Add a contrasting jacket on top with a belt. Ensure that you balance your proportions. Remember that something loose on the bottom should be paired with something fitted on the top and vice versa. 

Styl Tip: Even tough styling flared jeans can seem intimidating, do not shy away from experimenting with different fits and pairings. Take inspiration from celebrities or just try something on your own. 

Style Flared Jeans With a Simple Graphic T-shirt

When in doubt, always go for the classics. A graphic tee is the most fun classic item you will find in your closet. You can go as simple or as extra with this fit as you want. To have a more cohesive outfit coordinate the colours of your t-shirt with your accessories. If your graphic tee is a simple black and white, do not be afraid to add some colour with your footwear and bag. 

With a Scarf Top

This is your lesson in incorporating trends together. A scarf top and flared jeans are two trends that go together extremely well. To style flared jeans with a scarf top, keep in mind the colour schemes. Too much contrast will create an outfit that seems haphazardly put together. Additionally, the print of the scarf can give different vibes to each outfit. A paisley print top will give the look a distinctly bohemian aura. Finish the look with sneakers or heels.
