20 Pairs Of Flared Jeans That Will Upgrade Your Denim Collection

When it comes to shopping for jeans, finding a pair that fits well straight off the rack seems nearly impossible. Only after a lot of trial and error do you begin to realize that one of the reasons the process appears so daunting is due to the slew of outside factors; for example, all denim isn’t made from the same fabric composition—some have more stretch, while others are rigid—and as a result, your favorite cut will look differently from brand-to-brand.

As far as flared jeans are concerned, it’s almost guaranteed that the look will also vary between styles. You first need to decide exactly how much flare you’re after. Some have a dramatic bell-shape, while other designs offer a slight flare from the knee down that creates a sleek silhouette for heels. There’s no textbook blueprint for flared denim, like its straight-leg counterparts. 

Thankfully, there is a wide range of styles to fit pretty much every aesthetic. Ahead, a well-curated list of the 20 best flared jeans on the market.

A true investment piece, Khaite’s flared jeans are made from 100% cotton and should be handled with absolute care. To ensure they withstand multiple wears, put them in the freezer overnight or hand wash.
