Styling Cropped Flare Jeans in 2021? We’ve Got Your Back!

Denim is back in style and so are cropped flared jeans. Denim has been everyone’s staple since forever. Everyone owns at least one pair of jeans – they’re comfortable, durable, and can be styled in numerous ways. In the mid-1960s, flared jeans were a thing. It has evolved a lot since then. Cropped flare jeans are the basic flared jeans we know of, but just that, as the name suggests, they are cropped to the ankle.

So in this article we are going to discuss some tips on how you can style them, where to buy them, and we will also be answering some FAQs.

Tips for Getting and Styling the Right Cropped Flared Pants!

  1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FIT

When choosing flared jeans for yourself, you need to check the fit and get the perfect one for yourself. There are a lot of disadvantages to wearing the wrong fitted clothes; the most important one is that it doesn’t flatter your body and looks very shabby. Please get the correct size of jeans unless you want to go for a baggy look.

In order to get your perfect fit, cropped flared jeans, you need to keep a few things in mind:

  • SIZE: It is very important for you to understand the shape of your body and to know your correct size. This helps you choose a better fit for yourself. When you buy your cropped jeans or any other jeans, make sure to select the right size.
  • LENGTH-As the name suggests, we are here talking about cropped flared jeans. So, the perfect length for cropped flared jeans should be the ankle. You need to make sure the fit is not longer than the ankle, because then it is no more than a cropped flared jean.
  1. CHOOSE HIGHWAISTED JEANS.

High-waisted pants are loved by most people nowadays as they make you look kind of taller and give the illusion of having long legs. We get high-waisted features in almost every piece of clothing nowadays, from skirts to trousers to everything in between. Similarly, you can also find some high-waisted cropped flared pants that look super chic. Although low-waist jeans are coming back into trend, high-waist jeans are never going out of style.

But how do you style them?

You can pair up your high-waisted, cropped, flared jeans with a button-down shirt, or just a casual t-shirt, or even a blouse. Whatever you wear with your high-waisted cropped flared jeans, if it’s long, please TUG IT IN.It looks absolutely stunning.

So, you must be wondering why I got so worked up about tugging on the shirt. Tucking your shirt or t-shirt into any high-waisted pants emphasises your curves, elongates your lower body, and creates a visually appealing proportion. Sounds cool, right? So just go and try it!

3.STYLE THEM UP WITH HEELS 

Cropped Flared Jeans are super chill and comfortable jeans which you can wear everyday. So how do you choose what shoes go with it? Well, you can go for sandals, flats, heels, or anything you want. Just make sure it compliments your upper garments as well. Wearing a solid-coloured button-down shirt with high-waisted cropped flared jeans and heels, for example, will give your outfit a very classy look while also complementing your upper garment. We have attached some pictures for your visual reference:

Having said that, don’t be afraid to try something out of the box. You can wear chunky heels and different colours mixed and matched, which takes us to another point, colourblocking.

  1. THE COLOR IS BLOCKING THE LOOK

Ever heard of colourblocking? No? Well, no worries. We are here to help. Colourblocking is basically using two or more colours which are opposites in a colour wheel to make interesting colour combinations. The colours compliment each other and have contrast.

Does this sound complicated? Well, to make it easier for you, let’s take an example with some visual reference:

First of all, did you know you can get cropped flared jeans in a variety of colours nowadays? You name it, they have it. This year was all about different colours, patterns, and bright and pastel shades. So, for colourblocking, you can use flared jeans of any colour. So, for example, let’s say you have yellow cropped flared pants, so you can wear a pink shirt or t-shirt on top and then pair it up with green heels and a bag. So this not only makes your outfit look super colourful, but also very lively. But if you don’t like too many loud colours, then you can stick to monochromatic outfits. Let’s look at these beautiful colourblocked outfits:

  1. FLARES WITH FRAYED HEM

The frayed hem is very popular and trendy. There are brands selling various clothing items with frayed hems. It gives a raw look and you can even make it your home. Cropped flared jeans with frayed hems look very raw and stylish. The distressed look it gives is not very distressing.

So you have cropped flared jeans but without a frayed hem? Don’t worry, you can simply do it at home. All you need is a scissor and tweezers.

  • First you need to cut the hemline of the jeans very carefully. Don’t cut it too short and make sure you measure it on yourself and mark it first.
  • When done cutting, you need to take your tweezers and pull the threads from the hem.
  • Make sure you have a clear idea of what kind of fray you want. So, accordingly, you can pull more or less threads and TADAAAA….. your DIY Frayed Hem Cropped Flared Jeans are ready to be worn.

How To Dress In 2022

Taking notes from the Spring/Summer 2022 collections.

With Paris Fashion Week coming to an end, just like every year, stellar collections were put out by a lot of talented designers this year too. Of course, our lives have changed drastically owing to the pandemic and so has the fashion industry, but now everyone is looking forward to getting better than before. A lot of shows consisted of new silhouettes, bright colourful designs, drama with elegance and also bringing the Y2K style with a modern twist to it.

This reminds us of a quote by Karl Lagerfeld – “There is nothing worse than bringing up the ‘good old days.’ To me, that’s the ultimate acknowledgment of failure.”

So this feels like an apt time to talk about next year’s fashion and how to dress in 2022. We are looking at runway looks from the Spring/Summer 2022 collections by brands like YSL, Moschino, Alexander McQueen, YY/Project, Junya Watanabe, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, Dior Men, GmBh, and Dries Van Noten.  In this blog, we will be discussing what caught our eye and why.

All Black Chic

Although it is no new information that luxury/couture designers love black, this Spring/Summer we got a lot more fits in all black than we were expecting. At Junya Watanabe, we got to see the new era for menswear with skirts and blazers in all black. It looks very effortlessly classy and comfortable too.

Saint Laurent is known for his classic, chic and timeless black and white colour palette, which has trickled down to menswear designs as well, almost the entire collection was a sea of black and white just like Rick Owens. But other than the colour palette nothing else is similar about the two giants. The silhouettes at Rick Ownes were a lot more pronounced with deconstructed knits and trains.

 At Louis Vuitton as well we saw quite a few all black outfits, although each one was styled with a different pop of colour, and this green and black combo really spoke to us.

The trend of denim never fades

We have already discussed about denim in our previous blogs, let us reiterate denim is making a comeback this Spring/Summer. This time designers really put their thinking hats on and manipulated denim in unthinkable ways, which was very fun to watch.

Rick Ownes’ take on denim stunned us the most! Making a long and baggy t-shirt out of denim in a deconstructed style is genius. Junya Watanabe has made really commercial denim jackets for the Spring. GmbH understood the assignment by pairing a blue denim jumpsuit with a brown belt to cinch the waist and also zippers placed all over the garment in a very enticing way. Y/Project also took a dive into the denim on denim look but their pants have two layers, the one on the inside is darker than the one on the outside, giving it a sense of depth. And Louis Vuitton went big with a colourful jacket in what looks like a tie dye print and paired it with acid washed denim with the classic LV monogram

For some reason, quite a few designers are anticipating demand for knits this coming spring. Demand or no demand we are here to enjoy the show and high quality artistic knits.

How To Dress In 2022

Y/Project really stunned us with this textured knit sweater with cutouts near the neckline, almost like a fishing net or a bunch of ropes tied smartly to create drama. At Dior it was a knit fest, to say the least, they showcased knits with fun designs, motifs, and their monogram too, which shows the craftsmanship of the brand.

Moschino showcased campy sweaters in bold colours and paired them with denim to let the sweater shine through.

Monochrome-zone

I’m sure you all know by now what monochrome is (if not we recommend you to go through our colour blocking masterclass)

This season monochrome was done differently. It was done in both usual and unusual colours. Rick Ownes and Dries Van Noten chose to showcase outfits in white and khaki monochromatic scheme. While Rick’s whole outfit looks extremely editorial and edgy, Dries Van Noten’s suit deserves to be worn by an A-lister on a red carpet.

Monochrome-zone

Then we have Louis Vuitton and Dior, who took a road less traveled. Louis Vuitton played with texture and volume in this blue outfit, it looks like armor over a raincoat with a hat and mufflers. If you feel this is a bit too much, you always have the option to pick and chooses elements from the look. Dior also showed a look in minty, almost neon, green paired with the same coloured bucket hat.

Shorts

This seems like a usual garment to be included in every collection, this fueled the designers to add their own flair to it. Dior put long panels of fabric on the sides of the shorts, that look like pockets in the size of paper bags that you get take-outs in, this definitely looks like the next big trend.

At GmbH we got shorts paired with their signature crisscross designed coat. The shorts look super commercial and something their clientele will really enjoy.

Shorts

Moschino also included shorts with a food motif all over them, Jeremy knows everyone is craving to eat at fancy places so he made an outfit to match the mood. While the food motif is not new at Moschino, here it feels quite fresh.

Saint Laurent designed chic, comfortable yet classy formal wear for their collection. It seems like a perfect outfit for an outdoor summer wedding, because who wants to be in uncomfortable tight pants and sweat all day long anyway. And luxe loungewear got a new face at Dries Van Noten, with bold colours and silky soft shirts and shorts.

Drama

Opulence, extravagance, and drama are what we have been craving for some time now, and designers really showed up and showed out. With eye-catching colors, cutouts in interesting places (almost weird too), shiny fabrics, costume outfits, face masks covering the entire face, we were really served a wide range of drama.

Drama

Louis Vuitton made monochromatic fits but added elements of drama like a chessboard print face mask covering the entire face paired with a hot pink coat and pants or cartoon-ish ear muffs with cat-like ears on them. Also, their combination of soft furry ear muffs with all leather outfit screams drama in itself.

Y/Project really explored cutouts this season and this coat really impressed us. The construction is so interesting. By putting out this scarf-like shirt having cutouts near the naval with a well-tailored jacket, Y/Project is letting the big players know they are one to watch out for.

Moschino and GmbH explored new fabrics and showcased this stunning sequins suit in a shiny royal purple color. While GmbH did their signature coat in white fur, adding snow king drama this Spring/Summer

Which one of these styles impressed you and what will you dare to wear this coming spring/summer let us know in the comments below.

  1. Colour Blocking Sweater

We informed you in our color blocking masterclass (if you haven’t read it already, we highly recommend you check it out to amp up your fashion game) that colors can be used smartly to accentuate the body parts you like.

If you have narrow shoulders and a wider waist and want to make the shoulders look bigger while making the waist smaller, you will love this color blocking sweater.

Or even if you have wide shoulders and want to flaunt them you can opt for this loose-fit sweater made out of spun cotton fabric, having a round neck with long sleeves.

Zara is tricking our brain with colors – the dark color of the torso makes it look slimmer and pushes it to the back, and the bright and light colors make it seem closer to us thus making it look bigger than it actually is.

You can pair them with black trousers, which will elongate your legs.

  1. Abstract Jacquard Sweater

We have not come across anything more punk rock than this black and white graffiti-like print sweater.

We are sure everyone has had a goth phase growing up, if not then perhaps a rebel phase. And this sweater perfectly embodies the energy and mood of that phase.

Best Zara Sweaters for Men

The tie dye-like edges of the abstract white stripes makes the sweater look grotesque and violent. Pairing it with black pants and silver jewelry will definitely make you look like the coolest hitman that has ever walked on this planet. If you would have told us that this sweater was designed by Alexander McQueen or Rick Owens we would have agreed with you.

The next two sweaters are specifically for super funky people, it is not for the faint of heart so proceed to buy with caution.

  1. JACQUARD SWEATER WITH LETTERING

Want to become the talk of the night? This sweater looks like it was designed for the VIP members of the rave club. The high contrasting yellow and black exude drama. They may seem loud, but if styled correctly, you will look classy.

The sudden change of the colors in a cut-like design on the chest looks interesting. The letters are randomly placed and don’t necessarily spell anything, but it can be a fun ice breaker, right?

The yellow and black combo makes it a bit difficult to pair it with anything other than black trousers, but you can always try it with some shorts or even a black hoodie over it to add another layer perhaps. If you want to look invincible, you may as well add a black face mask to get a high level of anonymity.

  1. FAES WAVES SWEATER
FAES WAVES SWEATER
FAES WAVES SWEATER

Via – https://www.zara.com/in/en/–faes-waves-sweater-p02893300.html?v1=114345407

This is a loose-fitting sweater with a round neckline, long sleeves, and Jacquard Faes print. The dark green leaning toward teal color seems to compliment the light green wavy designs. To talk about the print looks like a modern-day digital art inspired by the painting – The Great Wave of Kanagawa  

Again, just like the previous sweater, the colors make it fit well with mostly black. If you are feeling adventurous we would recommend you style it with green pants that relate to the sweater and blue or red or yellow glasses to add a pop of color.

This is a great look for a day out running errands or window shopping with friends. We can only image high-end designers or famous influencers wearing this at Paris Fashion Week, so you need to hurry up and get this right now!
