What Shoes to Wear with Flare Jeans
Flare jeans and straight jeans are back in a big way (and, from the looks of it, here to stay). Whether you're feeling the pressure from Gen Z (we're not getting rid of our skinny jeans just yet), or just looking to expand your denim profile, there's just something about a bell-shaped silhouette that oozes SoCal cool.
However, one of the biggest problems with flare jeans (that many reluctant millennials have voiced) is figuring out the shoes you're supposed to wear with them. From peek-a-boo pumps and platforms that take full-length jeans to new heights to strappy sandals and heels that make the most of negative cropped space, read on for our top shoe pairings for flare jeans (and browse more denim picks here).
For Full-Length Flare Jeans
With longer jeans-and especially flares-you're often covering more of the foot, so a pointed pump offers a great way to ensure your shoes don't get lost in the shuffle. These pumps from Steve Madden have a high heel for preventing jeans from dragging, and are cut lower on the toes for a peek-a-boo effect. While we consider the black suede a wardrobe staple, it also comes in a spectrum of other colors and finishes (such as crystal rhinestone) for bold impressions.
Ankle Boots
Flare jeans are typically roomy enough to accommodate varying boot heights and widths, but we tend to prefer ankle cuts for greater ventilation and range of motion. This pick from Sam Edelman, which has a detailed toe and thick block heel, offers sophistication, stretch (read: comfort), and stability. Part western, part city-slicker, don't be surprised if you find yours all over town and racking up major compliments in the process (there are additional colors and patterns for switching things up).
