Have you ever wondered what denim style was popular in the year you were born? Well, The Insider gave us a rundown. Newsflash: there’s one for every year. It’s because jeans are as timeless as the Little Black Dress!
The popular cut might change over the years but wearing them will never go out of style. One particular cut has been making rounds and giving 2018 a very retro flair.
Get ready for the return of the Flared Jeans!
If you’re asking why you should take your pair out of retirement, here are 5 reasons why wearing Flared Jeans AKA Bell Bottoms add a ding to your fabulous steps:
1. It is universally flattering
It might as well be the Denim God’s Gift to the human race! Flared Jeans look AMAZING on every woman, no matter what shape or size you are. It’s snug where you want them to be and loose in the right places. If you need more convincing, here’s an article from Verily Mag that can show you how well you’re going to rock this cut wherever you may fall in the shape or size spectrum.
2. They make your legs look longer and makes you look taller
The perfect Flared Jeans doesn’t stop at the ankle like the popular Skinny Jeans or the favorite Boyfriend Jeans. They fit snug on your thighs until the knees and slowly flares out until it hovers an inch (or even less) above the ground. They don’t cut your legs off and create a nice elongating line.
3. You can dress them up or dress them down
The Flared Jeans of 2018 come in more than just denim, adding to the versatility of this style. We couldn’t love them any more that we do! Need a little style inspo? Live About gives you 11 different ways to style your flares whatever the situation and whatever mood you’re in.
4. It works well with heels or flats
People often say that you have to wear wedges with Flared Jeans to maximize their sartorial power. Thankfully, that is no longer the case! Since the Flared Jeans come in different lengths and materials, you’re no longer glued to a specific shoe style. You can now wear cropped jeans with your favorite flats to achieve the same MOD (Model Off-Duty) look. You can see from the flared women’s pants featured on BNY Jeans it’s so easy to style that imagination, really, is your only limit.
5. They are comfy to move around in
We seriously can’t say enough about how comfortable they are. Since Flared Jeans are tighter at the waist and looser at the legs, you don’t have to keep tugging on them to keep them up like what you would normally do with your Skinny Jeans. Their wide leg room also gives you the freedom to sit down with ease, stand, walk, or heck, even run around in them!
While comfort is king, it shouldn’t be the only thing on our minds, especially when we go overseas. If you’re flying out the country for the first time, we hope this article on ‘How to Stay Classy While You Travel’ helps you keep it lady-like!
