The most covetable jeans are taking on a chill fall vibe, with wide-leg flared or bell-bottom cuts being the silhouettes to wear right now.
While the look is stylishly dramatic, the proportions of this season’s best flared jeans are also surprisingly flattering — the wider bottom hem balances hips and thighs for an overall slimming effect. To keep the flowing silhouette in check, pop on a cropped, tailored or otherwise streamlined top.
The flared-leg comeback certainly isn’t new, but as the years go on, the style continues evolving to remain on top. Keep reading for some of the best flared jeans, from ’70s-inspired silhouettes to modern styles worn by Katie Holmes, Sadie Sink, Phoebe Bridgers and more stars.
