Flare Jeans FAQs

What are flare jeans?

Flare jeans, also known as bell-bottom jeans, are named for their distinctive bell-shaped flare that starts at the knee and extends to the ankle. Their snug fit at the hips and thighs combined with the flared leg creates a flattering silhouette.

We carry a wide selection of bell bottom jeans for women, ranging from baby flares to dramatic wide-leg flared jeans, with rises from mid to extra-high.

How should flare jeans fit?

We offer bell bottom pants in sizing ranging from XXS to XL, 00 to 18. Just like any jean, women’s flare jeans should fit snugly at the waist and hips, but not so tight that they’re uncomfortable. You should be able to sit in your bell bottom jeans without feeling squeezed. The flare should begin at your knee and the hem should sit right at the ground.

If you’re under 5’4, explore our petite jeans for a perfect fit. These sizes feature shorter lengths and better knee and calf positions for enhanced comfort. For those between 5’7" and 5’9", we offer taller sizes of flared jeans with adjusted inseams and improved knee and calf positions.

We also carry curvy jeans for women, which feature narrow waists and more room in the hips and seat.

Can anyone wear flare jeans?

Yes, flare jeans are designed to be flattering for all body types. Their unique cut, fitted through the hips and thighs with a flared leg, creates a balanced and stylish silhouette for anyone.

For added definition, shop bell bottom pant styles in our Sculpt denim. Made from our 360º stretch fabric, these jeans lift and sculpt while featuring a smoothing panel in the midsection for extra control.

What types of footwear pair well with flare jeans?

The bell shape of flare jeans provides plenty of room for all kinds of women’s shoes, including your favorite boots. You can also pair flare jeans with heels to extend your legline and create a leg-lengthening effect.

What are the best tops to wear with flare jeans?

Bell bottom jeans pair effortlessly with a variety of women's tops. Opt for a tighter fitting top rather than a flowy top to increase the drama of flared jeans.
