I can’t begin to express how happy I am that flared and bell bottom jeans are making a comeback. I still remember the first pair of designer jeans that I bought; the Seven for All Mankind Flares. They were fabulous, and I loved the way they fit my body perfectly. With skinny jeans being all the rage the last few years, I had put a stop on buying flares, bootcuts, and bell bottom style pants. It was a sad day in my house.
But, not anymore! Check out the various celebrities below sporting the flared jeans look. Can we all agree that they look fabulous? Yes. Is it just for girls with perfect bodies and long legs? Absolutely not. But more on that below.

As you can see there are a variety of women sporting this look. Very petite to very tall. Although fuller figured women weren’t in this selection, the key is to find a cut that fits your body best, and a length that doesn’t have to be hemmed too much. (It loses the integrity of the cut and the features placed at the bottom of the leg). Best to look for jeans that may come in petite or tall versions if you tend to be on one end of the spectrum or the other.
