It’s a rare treat when a fashion trend comes round that looks stylish and flatters every body shape so we're thrilled that flared jeans are back with a bang. Obviously, their Y2K vibe (via the 1970s) perfectly feeds our need for all aesthetics millennial - but flared jeans (particularly high-waisted styles) just look so damn good on every single shape and size of body.
Wear them out with a strappy sandals and a corset top for our favourite go-to combo of jeans-and-a-nice-top or match them with an oversized blazer and loafers for a day in the IRL office. (FYI: darker washes look smarter than pale, if you thinking of finding a style for workwear. Try these BOSS jeans on-sale at ASOS)
But the joy of the best flared jeans is that they can be styled in so many ways! From coastal cowgirl to stealth wealth, their versatility is why they're a staple in the wardrobes of every stylist, influencer and celebrity in London - and beyond - that you can think of….
If you can find a pair of jeans that look like vintage jeans from the Seventies you'll be onto a sure thing. Search for wide-leg jeans and pairs of jeans with high-waist details and retro vibes from Paige - like their almost iconic High Rise Laurel Canyon - or these Gucci Appliquéd High-Rise Flared Jeans (we are unhealthily obsessed with them...)
At the other end of the price spectrum, & Other Stories' Flared High Waist Jeans have patch pockets that add a vintage touch and are the definition of a forever purchase. Mango have a slick pair of mid-rise flare jeans in ecru, too, which totally nail the quiet luxury trend for less.
Can't choose a colour? Pink is continuing on-trend into autumn, albeit in washed out shades instead of Barbie brights. ASOS have a pair of jeans in a dirty washed pink tint and Urban Outfitter's mid-rise pink jeans are a subtle take on the trend we're here for. But whichever colour and wash you choose it's definitely time to give your skinny jeans a well earned rest…
