How do these flare jeans fit compared with straight-leg jeans?

They fit close through the hip and thigh like a slim jean, then widen below the knee. Straight-leg pairs stay the same width from thigh to hem, so these read more retro and more dramatic at the ankle.

What shoes work with a flared leg?

Boots, platforms and chunky sneakers fill the flare and keep the hem off the ground. Flat, thin-soled shoes tend to let the hem drag.

Will the washed finish fade or vary?

Washed denim is meant to look worn, and shade can vary from pair to pair. Wash inside out in cold water and skip the dryer to slow further fading.

Do they have stretch?

Most washed flare jeans use a small amount of stretch for comfort. Expect the fabric to relax slightly after a few wears, so a snug first fit is normal.

How should I pick the length?

Measure your inseam and compare it with the listed inseam, allowing for the heel height you plan to wear. A flare that ends just above the shoe looks best; longer pairs may need hemming.
