Flared Jeans in 2018? This Is How to Wear Them

A denim style plucked straight from the '70s, flared jeans are on the verge of a major comeback. Perhaps one of the clearest signs of their imminent return was the rise of cropped flares over the last year or so. Paired with everything from sock boots to heels, the style is a nod to its retro counterpart without being too big of a statement. We've also, of course, been seeing exaggerated flares like those from Ellery that are cool and statement-making in every way. Thinking about stocking up?
