While 70’s-inspired styles have been a micro-trend for a few seasons now, they seem to be gaining traction. Either way, I’m here for it!
You can never go wrong with a great pair of flare jeans. A simple outfit also makes a good “blank canvas” for adding a personal touch with accessories.
But the number one question I get is what shoes to wear with them! Here are a few I’ve turned up recently.
1. Mules
For those times when you want to make a bold statement, mules paired with flare jeans are your new best friend. I love that they’re a smart choice for any occasion since this versatile footwear works for both casual and more dressy events.
Plus, they’re incredibly comfortable and flattering, which is a combination that just can’t be beat!
2. Ankle Boots
If you’re going for an updated, edgy style, ankle boots look absolutely stunning with flare jeans. The mix of tapered flare jeans and the trendy height of the boots creates a look that is effortlessly chic.
It’s both fashionable and functional. I also think this footwear looks fabulous with a black dress.
3. Clogs
Whether you’re after a baddie look or something more casual, the clog and flare jean combo is an ideal choice for your everyday outfits. Clogs have been an iconic staple for a while now because they’re so versatile.
They pair especially well with wide leg or flare jeans, since the looser silhouette of the pants really flatters the clog’s angular shape.
4. Retro Sneakers
Retro sneakers with flare jeans have been a fashionable go-to for women for years. I think the versatile and comfy feel of this pairing has made it a favorite fashion statement. It’s especially true now, when comfort is so important.
How to wear it:
- For a look that’s effortlessly chic, try coordinating retro sneakers with flare jeans and a short black top. It’s perfect for a casual day out with friends or a laid-back weekend brunch.
- Layering with a cropped leather jacket or an oversized flannel shirt gives it a contemporary vibe.
- I’d add some layered necklaces and a crossbody bag for some extra flair.
5. Platform Sandals
When you team them up with flare jeans, platform sandals create an effortless chic style for spring and summer. This is also one of those cute date night outfits you can try out!
The height from the platform and the flare leg combination works to lengthen your silhouette for instant flair. You can choose from a variety of bold patterns and bright colors to create a vibrant look, or keep it simple with neutral tones for a more elegant feel.
6. Chelsea Boots
The mix of sleek Chelsea boots and statement denim just gives off a contemporary elegance, which will boost your confidence in your stylish outfit.
Chelsea boots are also comfortable and versatile, letting you navigate the city in fashion without giving up comfort or worrying about foot health.
How to Style It:
- Pair some black Chelsea boots with high-waisted flare jeans for a sleek look.
- A tucked-in graphic tee and a leather jacket add an edgy style.
- For a chic finish, accessorize with layered necklaces and a crossbody bag.
7. Wedges
Wedges are the perfect accessory to pair with your favorite flare jeans. They are so comfortable and supportive, which is amazing if you’re on your feet all day but don’t want to lose that fashion edge.
Wedges give you a truly sleek look that will turn heads no matter the time of year.
8. Pointed Toe Pumps
If you’re hoping to make a statement with your outfit, look no further than pointed toe pumps with flare jeans. This combination is sure to turn heads! It also provides the perfect balance between playful and sophisticated.
The high-heel pumps add an elegant touch to any look, while the flared legs of the jeans bring out your inner fashionista.
How to wear it:
- For a polished ensemble, wear a full-sleeve floral top with flare jeans and pointed-toe pumps.
- You can elevate the look by accessorizing with a statement necklace or a scarf.
- Complete the outfit with a sleek clutch or tote bag for a refined touch.
9. Mid-Calf Boots
A black mid-calf boot looks amazing when you’re topping off light wash, vintage denim or any shade of blue jeans. If you’re going for a classic look, try some tan boots with your dark wash flare jeans. They are a perfect winter boot to have!
How to wear it:
- Style some brown mid-calf boots with flare jeans for a boho-chic vibe.
- Layer with a cozy oversized sweater or a chunky knit cardigan.
- I’d complete the look with a wide-brimmed hat and a fringe bag for added flair.
10. Vans Sneakers
Whether you’re wanting to give your everyday jeans a chic makeover or you need something unique for a special occasion, Vans sneakers with flare jeans can make your look soar.
This combo is not only flattering, but it’s also comfortable and stylish enough to make any woman feel like her most confident self.
How to style:
- Rock Vans sneakers with flare jeans and a yellow top for a vibrant casual ensemble. It’s perfect for a day of running errands or just hanging out with friends. I would accessorize with a crossbody bag for extra convenience and style.
11. Slingback Pumps
Show off your unique sense of style by pairing your favorite slingback pumps with flared jeans. This look is a timeless combo and is ideal for any occasion, from day-to-day wear to an evening out.
To get an edgy and fashionable look, consider bolder shades of jeans and shoes with softer printed fabrics.
How to Wear:
- Pair your slingback pumps with high-waisted flare jeans for a chic look.
- I’d opt for a fitted gray sweater to balance out the flare.
- Add some statement accessories like hoop earrings or a bold necklace for extra flair.
12. Ballet Flats
Women who want an effortless, yet stylish look should look no further than the classic combination of ballet flats and flare jeans.
The options are endless with these wardrobe staples, whether you go for a monochrome color palette or something more daring with bold prints. You can easily dress them up by adding a structured blazer or a statement belt.
13. Platform Heels
Platform heels are perfect for creating a sleek yet casual look, especially when you pair them with trendy flare jeans. The added height from platform heels lengthens your figure and adds an elegant touch without sacrificing comfort.
How to Style:
- Pair some platform heels with flare jeans and a black t-shirt for a trendy casual look.
- Add a denim jacket or an oversized blazer for layering.
- For added style, accessorize with hoop earrings and a crossbody bag.
14. Espadrilles
If you’re looking for a fashionable summertime outfit, you should consider pairing espadrilles with flare jeans. This combination is not only incredibly stylish and lightly breezy, but it also gives off a relaxed, boho-chic vibe.
I love that it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
