Initially a masculine style, flared jeans quickly found their way into women's wardrobes. This style appeared in the 1960s and 1970s, 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-2000s, the flare came back in force but in a less eccentric version called bootcut, if originally the cut was masculine, at this time women's fashion completely appropriated it.

Today, flared jeans are back in the spotlight, adored by all fans of retro chic, they are appreciated for their silhouette-structuring effect. They lengthen the legs, slim the waist, and add an elegant, vintage touch.
