As we transition from warmer months to cold weather fashion, celebs are rocking flare jeans and bell bottom jeans! Plus, the TikTokers said we can’t wear skinny jeans anymore, so we need some options! Taking on the ’70s retro look, flare jeans were popularized by Sonny and Cher in the US when the couple wore them frequently on their TV show. The bell bottom jeans were then reintroduced in the ’90s, with the flare being slightly smaller at the ankle, under the name “bootcut.” Now, flare jeans are vogue once more, with stars like Vanessa Hudgens rocking the trend quite often!
Vanessa tried the trend when she rocked a red crop top with a pair of super high-waisted Stoned Immaculate Super Star Jean in Filmore. She accessorized her look with a Kitson Washed Cotton Crusher Bucket Hat in Light Denim, an Evolvetogether Milan Mask, Jacquie Aiche 5 Diamond Shapes Bodychain, Poppy Lissiman Malibu Waistbag, and Jacquie Aiche 5 Diamond Body Chain.
For the ultimate way to elongate your legs in denim this spring, flare jeans are the best option! We’ve got several pairs, inspired by Vanessa Hudgens, for you to shop!
