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.
Katie Holmes dressed up Alice + Olivia’s sophisticated, pleated wide-leg Dylan Jean with a cobalt silk blouse at the brand’s spring/summer 2023 fashion presentation, and they’ve remained a brand staple ever since.
Look to Levi’s, the all-American label loved by Hollywood stars, including Mindy Kaling and Phoebe Bridgers, for a cool take on a trend that won’t break the bank. This Western-inspired pair comes in both black and light wash blue denim (pictured above).
