How to Style Flare Jeans for Men: 5 Outfits That Work
Flare jeans are back in menswear, and they are easier to wear than they look. The trick is balance: a fitted or cropped top, the right shoes and a hem that just touches the floor. Here are five outfits that work, and how to get the length right.
Why flare jeans work for men
A relaxed flare sits easy through the hip and thigh, then opens gently from the knee. That small kick at the hem lengthens the leg, balances broader shoulders and gives even a plain T-shirt outfit a bit of attitude. Unlike skinny jeans, it never feels tight; unlike baggy jeans, it keeps a clear shape.
Our light blue flare jeans are cut from 100% organic cotton denim in a washed light blue, with a relaxed flare leg. Like every piece we make, they are made to order in Bucharest and adjusted to your height and weight, so the flare starts and ends where it should on you.
Five outfits to try
- The easy weekend look. Light blue flares, a white or grey tee and clean sneakers. Tuck the front of the tee in slightly so the waist stays visible and the leg looks longer.
- A pop of colour on top. Pair the black flare jeans with the hot pink zip hoodie. The washed black keeps the outfit grounded, while the hoodie, in 100% organic cotton with tonal spikes on the pocket and the alien logo on the sleeve and hood, does all the talking.
- Sporty layers for autumn. A cropped jacket is the perfect partner for a flare, because it shows the whole line of the leg. Our black windbreaker has a full zip, white lines on the chest, back and sleeves and the logo stitched on the front, and it is made of 100% recycled polyester.
- All black for the evening. Black flares, a black knit or tee and boots with a slight heel. The flare falls over the boot and the outfit looks sharp without trying.
- Denim on denim, done softly. Light blue flares with a darker denim jacket or shirt. Keep the two washes clearly different so the look feels deliberate.
Which shoes go with flares
- Chunky sneakers keep the look casual and stop the hem from swallowing your feet.
- Boots with a small heel are the classic choice: a flare is made to fall over them.
- Loafers work too, as long as the hem is slightly shorter so it does not bunch.
Getting the length right
Length makes or breaks a flare. Too short and it looks like a mistake; too long and it drags on the ground and wears out. The sweet spot is a hem that covers most of the shoe and stops about a centimetre above the floor at the back.
This is where made to order helps. Tell us your height and weight when you order and we adjust the length before shipping, so you do not need a tailor afterwards. Think about the shoes you will wear most, because made-to-measure length adjustments are final sale.
Light blue, grey or black?
Light blue is the most relaxed and the easiest for daytime. Black is the most versatile, from sneakers to evening boots. Washed grey sits in between and goes with almost every hoodie colour. If you only buy one pair, start with the shade that suits the shoes you wear most.
Delivery and returns
Because your jeans are made after you order, allow a little time before they ship. Delivery then takes 3–5 working days in Romania, 5–7 in the EU and UK (DHL Express), 7–9 to the USA and Canada (UPS Express) and 8–12 to Australia. Unworn pieces with their tags can be returned within 14 days; returns are free in Romania, while from other countries the customer pays the return shipping.
A good pair of flares is not a costume. Worn with simple pieces and at the right length, it makes everyday outfits look a little more considered, and a little more like you.
