Short answer: yes, but in a calmer form. The dramatic, floor sweeping flare has cooled from its peak, while a subtle flare and a clean bootcut have settled in as wardrobe staples that keep coming back. Flares flatter because the widening hem balances the hip and, with a long enough length over a heel, they lengthen the whole leg. They are less of a trend now and more of a classic you reach for.
What kind of flare feels current?
The shape has shifted from costume to everyday. A high rise that is fitted through the thigh and opens gently below the knee reads modern, especially in a dark, clean indigo. Save the very wide, heavily distressed 70s flare for a deliberately retro outfit; the versatile version most people want is closer to a bootcut with a little extra sweep.
Who do flares suit?
- Pear or triangle: the hem widens to balance a fuller hip, one of the most flattering matches there is.
- Petite: a high rise with a hem that just grazes the floor over a heel adds height; a cropped flare works for flats.
- Tall: almost any length works, so lean into a longer, sweeping leg.
- Hourglass: a fitted thigh and defined waist keep the shape balanced.
How do you style flare jeans now?
Keep the top half fitted or tucked so the eye reads the line of the leg: a slim knit, a bodysuit or a tucked shirt. A slight heel or a platform hidden under the hem is the trick to the elongated look; a flat can work with a cropped flare. Add a structured jacket to keep the outfit from tipping fully retro.
Flare, bootcut or wide leg?
- Flare: fitted to the knee, then a clear widening to the hem.
- Bootcut: the subtle cousin, a small kick at the hem, the easiest to wear daily.
- Wide leg: wide from the hip down, a different, roomier silhouette.
