My Friend Asked What to Wear With Flare Jeans, and I Suggested These 6 Basics

If there's one denim style that's ramping up to be essential among the fashion-and-celeb crowd, I bet it would be flare jeans. The retro silhouette had a strong presence on the S/S 20 runways thanks to brands like Celine and Michael Kors, and style setters have continued adding them into their rotations for months now. Naturally, one of my chic friends has taken notice and is interested in testing out flares in her day-to-day this spring and summer.

While I directed her to this piece on some of the key cuts to try on, she was also curious about which items pair well with the jeans.

They all featured fresh and trendsetting basics to complement that statement-making nature of the jeans.
