Women’s Flared Jeans

At Soeur, flared jeans take a shape from menswear and recut it for a feminine silhouette. The leg falls straight to the knee, then opens out. That flare lengthens the line and gives the free, easy stride associated with the house. Our denim jeans offer three versions of this cut, from the slight flare of a seven-eighths length to a long, wide leg, with a simply loose-fitting style in between.

Flare or bootcut jeans: what is the difference?

Both terms describe the same family of cuts, with a difference in proportion. Women’s bootcut jeans flare just enough to fit over a boot. They look understated beneath a coat and are easy to wear to the office. Women’s flare jeans open out higher and wider, in the spirit of bell-bottoms. They need a longer leg so they do not appear cut too short. If you prefer a line that stays straight, the jeans droit plays that role in the collection.

High-waisted flared jeans, in a seven-eighths or full length

Before the degree of flare, it is the rise and length that make the difference. Our California has a high waist and a long leg. It is the most frequently worn, because the high waist makes the flare visible and it works equally well with a heel or a flat sole. At seven-eighths length, the hem stops above the ankle and lightens the silhouette in winter. The fabric matters too. Thicker raw denim holds a wide flare better. Faded denim is softer and ready to wear from the first day. Chalk brightens the season’s dark outfits, while black, in organic cotton, gives the cleanest version. For a leg that narrows towards the ankle rather than opening out, discover the barrel jeans.

How to wear flared jeans

The rule is simple: the wider the leg opens at the hem, the closer the top should sit to the body. A fine pullover tucked into the waist, a shirt tucked into the jeans or a knitted vest is enough. What matters is that the waist remains visible; otherwise the flare gets lost. The shoe then determines the length: grazing the floor with a low-heeled boot, or shorter at seven-eighths length to show the ankle. In winter, a jeans jacket in a different shade of blue from the trousers, or a short leather jacket, complete the silhouette without weighing down the lower half.
