Flare jeans have been around for generations. The super stylish accessory worn and loved by youngsters from the 70’s was reconsidered in the 90’s and again around 2015. Now we see these amazing pants making a comeback and we couldn’t be more excited!
There’s no denying that flared legs look great on almost any body type, but what are the best shoes to wear with these flared jeans?
Flared jeans can be combined with almost any shoe. Due to the length, little of the shoe is visible. Different styles can be achieved by using certain shoes with torches. Platforms, heels, and trainers fit best, but should be tested with specific cuts for best results.
The shoe cylinder combinations that worked for our grandparents during the “Peace and Love” era may still be in style today. After all, a classic is a classic. But since flare jeans are making a comeback on our screens, wardrobes, and hearts, let’s take a look at the best ways to wear them right now.
(If you’re a die-hard hippie fan, don’t be too disappointed. Some of our ideas for you are very similar to those back then, just with a modern twist.)
The best shoes with flare jeans
There’s no denying that Instagram has exploded this season with influencers and celebrities wearing flared jeans. We’ve scrolled through a lot for you and found the most amazing combinations of flare jeans and shoes. We present you the best shoes with flared jeans:
Platforms
This may seem a little obvious, but flared jeans have stood the test of time. The platforms are also very different. You can go old-fashioned with wooden or cork soles, wide, thick and patterned.
Another option is to go more modern with clean, tight lines and monochromatic shades. The beauty of pallets is that they add height and balance to the heavy flares at the bottom. There’s a reason this is our top pick. We think flats and wide-leg jeans are the perfect match.
Gym shoes
Sneakers are another option with flares if you want to relax. Go for a flat Converse style (also popular for decades) or opt for a more rugged sneaker for a more modern, sporty look.
Sandals
These are great for spring and summer and add a flare like flip flops. Choose a flat sole or light heel that’s right for you and enjoy all the goodness of rubber and air in your feet. Wearing sandals with flare jeans is a nod to the past when boys and girls wore sandals, open-toed sandals, or even went barefoot exclusively.
Espadrilles
Espadrilles are similar to sandals, although they do offer a few other styles to choose from. The earthy, natural look of espadrilles pairs perfectly with flared jeans, no matter the style.
Boots only
While ankle boots may not be your first thought when it comes to flare jeans, they pair surprisingly well with long, cropped pants. Like platform shoes, ankle boots add an edge to your outfit and have the added benefit of keeping your feet warm and stylish.
Pumping
Pumps aren’t the most comfortable choice for you, but if you want to spice up your look, flared jeans are the way to go. This classic shoe is definitely a modern must have and will add a touch of elegance to your outfit.
