As the seasons change, so do the denim styles that reign supreme. While skinny jeans were everyone’s go-to for years, flare and wide-leg jeans have slowly begun to replace them as the most popular style. Honestly, good riddance! I am stoked to buy flare jeans this winter season because they look amazing on so many different body types. Case in point: I scoured the web for the best plus-size flare jeans and rounded up my favorite pairs to share with you.
Let’s get one thing out of the way: These ain’t your mamma’s flare jeans! What’s old is new again in 2024—and that means that the ‘70s are back in full force right now. But if you’re not sure how to style your flares IRL, I’ve got you covered. Try wearing them with a pair of high-top white sneakers for an easy everyday outfit, or pair them with some chunky platform sandals for your next date night or girls’ night out. They’re surprisingly so versatile, so I highly recommend buying a pair for yourself and trying out all of the different sartorial possibilities.
I’m also happy to report that shopping for plus-size denim isn’t what it used to be. Brands like Good American, Levi’s and Rollas are all making stylish (and, in most cases, relatively affordable) jeans that come in a wide range of sizes. Read on to see the cutest pairs of plus-size flare jeans to buy now and wear forever.
