These Jeans Are Your Secret to Longer-Looking Legs

Choosing a ‘fit around your flared jeans may be tricky, as you want to balance out the widening silhouette at the bottom, which is why stylist Cynthia Kennedy loves pairing them with fitted tops. “Think a tucked-in tee, a sleek bodysuit, or a cropped sweater that hits right at the waist,” she exclusively told Glam. “A structured blazer instantly polishes the look, and a belt always helps define your shape. As for accessories? Oversized sunnies and a slouchy shoulder bag give off that effortlessly cool vibe without trying too hard.”

As for the perfect shoes to wear with your flared jeans, you can never go wrong with platforms. “They give you height and keep the flare from dragging, but they still feel walkable,” Kennedy stated. “A pointy-toe boot is also a great choice because it keeps the leg line super clean. If I’m going casual, I’ll do a chunky sneaker or even a low block-heel mule — anything that gives a little lift without disappearing under the flare.” And remember, although you want your legs to look longer, you never want the hem of your jeans to be skimming the ground, as that will look sloppy. Be sure to find a good tailor who will know just where the legs of your jeans should end to give you that perfect, statuesque figure.
