Choosing jeans as a teenager in the early 2000s wasn't just a fashion decision, it was a statement of identity.
At that time, groups could be differentiated by the type of jeans they wore. Some belonged to the skater-jeans crew, others copied Destiny's Child's style with low-cut models, and still others wore bell-bottoms. The jeans simply told their stories.
Today, Generation Z is mainly inspired by social media and stars who promote different styles for the latest trends.
It was on social media that Bella Hadid emerged as the face of the return of flared jeans, combining them with her love of equestrian style – cowboy boots, leather belts, and structured shirts.
If you're ready to wear those jeans again, here's how to wear them in 2025:
- Shoes: Combine them with low heels for a sophisticated look or with retro sneakers for a more relaxed style.
- Cut: Subtle that gently follows the curves and widens towards the bottom edge for a contemporary effect.
- Style: Opt for a high waist with a belt that accentuates your figure. Throw in a classic white T-shirt or structured shirt for a sleek look.
Flared jeans prove that even old jeans can be fashionable again and worn with style.
