Flares jeans are in, but sometimes, depending on the occasion, the long, bell bottom style can feel a bit heavy. The flattering ankle-showing alternative? Cropped flare jeans. Just like the more classic cropped skinny jeans, they let you show off your shoes — whether flats, espadrilles, heels, or even boots come fall. But they have more of a boho meets ’90s CBK-era denim meets normcore vibe. Pair them with a boxy top, or tucked-in oxford to give them a chic right now update. If you’re looking for tips for how to style cropped flare jeans, you’ve come to the right place, because they’re truly my favorite jeans right now. I’ve gathered some tips and tricks as well as outfit ideas for inspo.
The first trick for how to style cropped flare jeans is to pick the right shoes. For the most flattering silhouette, you either want to choose an ankle boot that fits under the flare and has more of a pointy toe to give you an elongated look. Or, you want to choose a shoe that hits just at the start of the ankle to show some skin between the shoe and bottom of the jeans. This also creates a more flattering silhouette. Just show them a tiny bit of ankle, ya know? Then on top, anything goes. I like to keep it polished with a cropped jacket, button-up shirt, tucked-in t-shirt or cashmere sweater or cardi. But really, any top will do. Here are some more ideas and inspo for how to style cropped flare jeans.
