5 ways to wear cropped flares this winter
The cropped, flared jean is a classic piece of denim that a lot of us probably have in our closets. But with most of the attention on low-rise, floor-length jeans these days – the spotlight has been taken away from this classic cut – maybe leaving you without inspiration. But don’t worry, if you’re not sure how to style cropped flare jeans these days, here are 5 tips that can help get out of your style rut.
1. With a statement knit
Never underestimated the power of a statement sweater. With cropped pants it’s key to understand proportions – so go with a either a more cropped cut or a longer length that hits below the widest part of your hips. If your sweater falls somewhere in between – just give it a tuck to give your waist some definition.
As far as sweaters go – wear what speaks to your personal style! Our reccomendations? A half-zip sweater, a chunky turtleneck sweater, or a casual, crewneck sweater with a white t-shirt underneath.

2. With a long coat
Cropped jeans in winter can be tricky. Not sure what coat to wear with cropped flares? Go for an unexpected color like white – or an unexpected silhouette like an oversized menswear coat. Because of the cropped length of the jeans it’s important to also think about the length of the coat. A good option is an extra-long cut that hits somewhere below the knee and about your ankle. Avoid a length that hits directly at your hip bone, as this can make your legs appear shorter than they actually are.

Still looking for style inspiration? Why not try a cute, fitted cropped cardigan? If oversized silhouettes are not your thing – this could be your style answer. Wear it completely buttoned up, with a tanktop underneath, or a little bit undone for a more sultry look.
