Customize the 2025 cropped jeans trend by tweaking your flare width
The cropped flare umbrella is a wide one, literally. This jeans trend covers everything from tiny flares like Bella Hadid’s white cropped kick flares at Cannes in 2025, to ultra-wide cropped flares that are a lot bolder. The key difference lies in where the volume begins and how much of it you’re working with. Slimmer flares are more casual, and wider ones are more dressed up and look better with heels than anything else. However, regardless of the width of your flare, the most important thing is to keep the length right above the ankle.
This hemline is what keeps cropped flares looking intentional rather than accidental. But remember that because of this higher cut, you’re better off skipping low-rise denim styles, even if they’ve been staging a comeback no one is ready for. Cropped flare jeans already shorten the length slightly, and pairing them with a low waist will only make things feel more squashed. Mid- and high-rise cuts help rebalance the silhouette and create a more flattering shape.
But beyond the cut and waistline, colors matter, too. Don’t stick to only the typical jean washes. Blue denim is classic, but summer 2025 is perfect for atypical denim colors. Try something new like white, black, or, if you’re feeling bold, a summery-pink or rich-brown denim. These shades aren’t always easy to find, but a solid tip is to shop where the girly pops leave glowing reviews.
