Flare jeans
The flare cut refers to a style of trousers that hug the thigh and then flare out at the knee. This cut enjoyed its heyday in the 1970s, worn by icons such as ABBA and Jimi Hendrix. Long out of fashion, it's now making a comeback, adding a vintage touch to your outfits.
Initially a men's garment, flared jeans quickly found their way into women's wardrobes. This style emerged in the 1960s and 70s, inspired by American sailor pants. It became a symbol of hippie and bohemian fashion, often worn with floral shirts, suede jackets, and platform shoes.
In the 90s and 2000s, the flare made a strong comeback but in a less eccentric version called bootcut; although originally the cut was masculine, at that time women's fashion completely appropriated it.
Today, flare jeans are back in the spotlight, adored by all retro-chic enthusiasts. They are appreciated for their flattering effect on the silhouette, lengthening the legs, slimming the waist, and adding an elegant, vintage touch.
