Flared Jeans: The Comeback of the 1990’s & Ways to Style It
By Sanchaita
Flared Jeans were out-of-the fashion scene throughout the 2000’s, mainly because skinny and super-skinny jeans were winning hearts all over the world, and why not? They are extremely well-fitted and looked so good. But now, the fashion from the gone eras is making a comeback, be it Palazzo’s, Crop-tops, Flared Jeans, Midi’s, and so on.
In this article, I’m going to write about how to rock the Flared-Jeans and can look as good as skinny jeans, and is so much more comfortable than the skinny ones because let’s admit it, no matter how good a pair of skinny jeans look, they are too-tight to breathe-in and too uncomfortable during the harsh summer days, and yeah, we do need to shift to something different after years of wearing the same skin tight jeans!
The Summer-Spring Look
Flared Jeans can be paired up with a summer-top or even a crop-top. This outfit is perfect for a casual day out with friends, or for movies. Semi-fitted or well fitted tops will look better with the flared jeans as loose or ill fitted tops will fail to give some balance to your body, thus making you look shabby. Pair these jeans with wedges, and you’re good to go!
The Winter Look
Long sweaters and the flared jeans- best look for a chilly winter day. Pair this look with a matching accessory- a chunky necklace or earrings, and/or a handbag, with light makeup. With Flared Jeans, heels or wedges is preferred because if you wear flats instead, the bottom-part of the jeans will be dragging through the floor, and undoubtedly look bad.
The Distressed Look
Yes, ripped and distressed flared jeans do exist and look as good as ripped skinny jeans. Crop-top, spaghetti tops would look best with these pair of Jeans. This is the ready-for-Coachella kind of look. Hair tied into a messy pony or bun, and a sling, and you’re ready to rock!
The Cropped One
Cropped flared-jeans paired with a shirt and scarpin heels is one way to rock the bell-bottoms look. This look is great for formal settings, and jeans can be changed for flared pants, and it would look as good. Too-much cropped flared jeans/pants would look baggy.
The No-effort look
Pair the Jeans with a casual v-neck top, printed or plain, paired with sunglasses and a handbag/sling and you’re ready for a hot-summer day. This look is easy and for those days when you are feeling lazy and don’t really feel like dressing up.
The Kimono look
Kimonos are the current favourite. I see almost everyone around me wearing kimonos with a short-dress, with shorts, with skirts, and with a pair of skinny jeans. But, kimonos can be paired up with flared jeans and tank tops and they look great! If doesn’t matter if your kimono is plain or printed, try wearing it with a pair of flared jeans and you’ll do justice to the boho-vibes.
The other-colours look
Flared-Jeans doesn’t always have to be blue (the basic denim colour). It can be red, or black, purple or even pink. Go for your favourite coloured flared jeans, and rock it either with a solid coloured shirt or striped or even floral, because hey, bold is beautiful.
The Biker-Look
Who said leather jackets look good only with skin-tight jeans or pants? When you wear a leather jacket with flared-jeans, they not only look classy, but they add a bit of texture to your outfit as well. There are so many other ways to rock the flared-jeans, all you need to do is find the right pair of the flared-jeans, some accessories, be it sunglasses, scarves, chunky pieces of jewellery and you’re ready to conquer the world woman!
Editor’s Note: Oo..I love this compilation Sanchaita, I remember wearing my flared jeans a lot when I was in college 🙂 I am so glad it’s back.
