If there’s one jeans trend we see vacillating in and out of fashion from season to season it’s flared jeans. The ‘70s silhouette always makes an appearance on the runways practically every season—and this spring/summer '21 was no exception. From Victoria Beckham to Balmain we saw everything from bootcut styles to traditional flares and loose, wide-leg styles pop up on the runways confirming that the retro silhouette is well and truly back in full force—and this season they feel refreshingly modern and cool.
We’re seeing the flattering jeans making waves on Instagram too—spotted all over our favorite fashion girls lately—pairing them with everything from sneakers to cute cardigans. Take a peek below to see how cool girls are styling the trend right now and shop our favorites on the market.
