One of the most iconic throwback fashion trends from the '70s is back. That's right—we're talking about flared jeans.
Although skinny jeans will always hold a special place in our hearts, it seems like flares are back — and here to stay. They've been making their way into the closets of many celebrities and have been entertained by brands for several seasons now.
When it gets chillier and you want to layer up a bit, consider flare jeans for your day-to-day looks. As we head into fall, the looser style jeans such as flare and mom jeans seem to be most popular because of the flexibility and functionality they offer—also one of the reasons why flare jeans were so popular back in the day.
The best part is you don't have to break the bank to rock the latest flare jeans trend. Brands such as Levi's, Nordstrom and more have plenty of affordable options you can shop this fall.
To help you get started with your fall wardrobe, I've rounded up 5 pairs of my favourite flare pants — as well as what tops to style them with.
The look: Black flare jeans and button-up blouse
Levi's '70s High Rise Flare Women's Jeans
The latest Levi's '70s high rise flare jeans from their FW21 collection are hands down my favourite considering how soft, comfy and stylish they are.
When I tried the pair, I fell in love with the fabric and fitting. As a petite person, I'm always worried about how flare jeans will look, but I was amazed at the fit, quality and design. The jeans truly fit like a glove and are so flattering.
The great thing about Levi's is they have plenty of options for waist and inseams so you can choose the best fit for you, and other colour options too.
The ultra-high rise flare jeans pair are slim through the hip and thigh, incredibly soft, affordable, and another huge plus—the jeans are sustainably made with TENCEL™ fabric.
SHOP IT: Levi's, $128
Levi's Emilie Button-Up Blouse
A super soft cotton button-up with a frilly collar and oversized sleeves to make a statement yet still stylish.
The Emilie Button-Up Blouse is another item from Levi's latest FW21 collection that I'm loving after trying it. A true vintage vibe with amazingly soft fabric that fits perfectly with the black flare jeans, and you can wear it tucked in, out, or under a sweater vest if you like.
Once you try the blouse, you'll want every blouse from their latest fall collection.
