Our favorite jean trend is back and it’s bringing all the drama. Flare leg jeans, the iconic ’70s silhouette that once ruled disco dance floors, have been given a modern twist for 2026. And yes—every fashion girl you follow is already wearing them.
Think the perfect balance of curve-skimming and lower-body-flattering, but with a fresh, modern twist. From low-rise flares to ultra-high-rise wide-leg styles, and everything in between, this is the denim shape that effortlessly updates any outfit.
We love flares because they’re endlessly versatile: heels, boots, sneakers, or flats, they all look instantly elevated. And of course, being denim, you’ve got endless options in colors, washes, and brands.
We did the heavy lifting and rounded up the must-see flare leg jeans from Old Navy, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, Quince, Good American, Madewell, and more. Best part? You don’t have to break the bank to get in on this trend—we even spotted flares under $20 right now.
