Flare Showcase

John B. Marine | 6:49 PM | | | | |
(UPDATED: June 8, 2023)
Bell bottom jeans and pants are showcased in this blog post. So if you prefer skinny and slim bottoms, read some other "StyleSpace by JBM" post of mine because this post is all about various flared jeans and pants. Bootcut, flare, bell bottom... you name it, I will showcase them in this blog post. This post basically showcases flared jeans and flared pants based on various bloggers and various fashion communities. Actually, I've seen a lot of velvet bell bottom pants which inspired me to discuss various flared bottoms.

This is a different post from my "Flare Flair" post, which primarily discussed all flared items. This post is a showcase only on flared jeans and flared pants. Maybe I will discuss certain flared skirts in a future post. First post of 2015! Yay! Happy new year, everyone! :)

About the Label: "Showcase"

Posts under this label are showcases of certain looks, trends, or the like. The focus is primarily on showcasing as many different items as possible to describe certain trends, outfits, and more.

Flare Showcase


Here is a showcase of flared jeans and flared pants. This picture will set the mood...

velvet bell bottoms
^ from: Amazon - Actually, velvet bell bottoms such as these inspired me to post this showcase on flared jeans and flared pants. I've noted a bunch of fashionistas sporting velvet bell bottom pants and decided to blog about them here.

flared jeans
^ from: Shopbop - Get your loving of flares with jeans as well!

flared jeans
^ from: Belk - Kick flares can give you all the appeal of flared bottoms but with cropped legs.


When you talk about various kinds of flared bottoms, there is a certain appeal to them which makes them fashionable. Many people adore flares for their hippie or their '70s appeal. The illusion of longer legs can be achieved with flared bottoms for petites. Some people enjoy the appeal of high-waist bottoms. And in my view, high-waist flare bottoms can be quite stylish. Even the curvy/plus-size set can enjoy the appeal flared jeans and pants provide. Some dislike flared bottoms because you can't see what shoes some people are wearing. While that can be true about flared bottoms, it can be very cool to hide a pair of wicked platform shoes under some flared jeans or pants. If you like tucking jean/pant legs into boots, you will have a tough time with that since you have to gather up the bottom half of these jeans or pants to try to put them into a tall pair of boots.


Outfit Visions with Flared Bottoms.


If I were to make an outfit using any kind of flared bottoms, I'd go with a yellow plaid shirt with some dark wash high-waist flared jeans. Fancy a romantic outfit? I'd probably consider a feminine top (maybe sleeveless) with some flared white jeans and some platform pumps or platform sandals. What if you're feeling sexy and daring? I would envision a cropped peasant top or a cropped tie-front top, then go with some flared jeans and either some platform wedge espadrilles or some other kind of platform or platform wedge shoes or sandals.


How Do You Like Your Flares?

Flare jeans and flare pants come in a different number of forms.

Bootcut bottoms offer the most modest flare of any kind of flared bottoms. These mild flares offer some visual illusion of elongated legs. The most common bootcut bottoms are often yoga pants, especially yoga pants with full legs. Various other jeans and pants may have bootcut legs to them for that extra bit of appeal down the leg.

• What has become popular is the so-called "skinny flare." To my understanding, these are flare bottoms that fit like skinny bottoms at the upper half, but the lower half of these bottoms offer a modest flare. So think of these as skinny jeans/pants that have flares to them. They are not entirely skinny; but then again, they are not really flares. A little of both is what these flared bottoms provide.

• A lot of regular flare jeans and pants have well-defined, voluminous flares. Most flares usually cover the lower legs and feet quite nicely. Some fashionistas may even be tempted to wear a wild pair of platform shoes or platform wedge shoes under flared jeans or pants. These flared bottoms offer a fun factor about as fun as wearing a big floppy hat.

• For those who adore extreme flares, bell bottoms are the way to go. They offer the greatest flare coverage. There are those who take even an existing pair of jeans or pants and add extra amounts of fabric to make their own bell bottom jeans or pants. Some bell bottom type bottoms offer a stylish and elegant appearance. Some others bells on bell bottoms, however, can really seem to consume and overwhelm your proportions. Extremely flared bottoms may not look so stylish on petites or on certain tall women. Just the fact such flares have such exaggerated diameters are worthy of love for them.

• If you fancy any kind of flared bottoms but with cropped legs try kick flares. Kick flares give you the appeal of any kind of flared pants but with cropped legs. The cropped legs of kick flare jeans, pants, and jumpsuits may warrant you to show off some of your wildest footwear to compliment them.

These are at least some of the more popular flared bottoms.

Flare Showcase: Final Thoughts



While there is nothing wrong with slim bottoms, flared bottoms have unique appeal. Taking cues and examples from the different personalities I linked to in this blog post, you can see that these flared jeans and pants are uniquely appealing and offer no shortage of charm. Some even love flared bottoms for the vintage and hippy/hippie appeal. No matter what the reason(s), there is something to love about flared jeans and flared pants. Many people see them simply as a refreshing change of pace from the various skinny and slim jeans and pants often seen. Be sure to proudly and confidently wear your flares- whether modest or extreme to the fullest!

I love flare jeans, although I should wear them more often! The second pair looks great! Have a wonderful 2015! :X

I enjoy ruffles on blouses and dresses, but I tend to like more exaggerated ruffles that make more of a statement. Less frilly/girly, more dramatic.

I like the look. It's good for ultra casual days and gives your denim a little more interest.

I really love flare jeans, but I haven't worn them much lately. Flared bottoms are starting to come back in vogue, so it will be nice to hopefully find more options in stores soon.

I'm not sure what is it about them that I like so much...but I know I always love them. Both flare pants and bell bottom ones...I think they're really flattering and just so stylish.

The only down side to them is if you wear them while it's raining, like I did the other day, your legs will get soaking wet!
