The 14 Best Flare Pants For Every Occasion

These pull-on flare jeans have garnered more than 14,000 reviews on Amazon thus far, and they come in more than a dozen colors ranging from earthy shades like green and a rusty brown hue, to classic denim shades. You can also snag them in versions with unique features, including pockets or intentional rips at the knees, so you’re likely to find one option that speaks to your personal style. All are made from a blend of cotton and polyester, and reviewers have noted that the elastic waist can fall anywhere between mid-rise and low-rise. Shoppers have attested that the flares are easy to dress up or down, too. Just keep in mind that many reviewers have suggested that these jeans run long, so if you’re on the petite side, you might have to get them hemmed (or hem the pants yourself).

One shopper wrote: “I never wear jeans. I’m a sweatpants wearing kind of mom. I NEVER wear jeans. They’re always so restricting feeling [...] but these jeans are a game changer! Already bought another pair and love them! First time in over 35+yrs I can finally say I LOVE MY JEANS!”

This pair of ribbed-knit flare pants are both chic and comfy, according to reviewers. The elastic waistband and relaxed silhouette up the cozy factor, while the dainty lettuce hem makes the flares look and feel more elevated than regular sweatpants. While the knit ribbing might remind you of a thick sweater, one reviewer described it as a “thinner more breathable material.” Wear them while lounging at home or going on a quick coffee run with a friend.

These flare yoga pants are marketed as a “bootcut,” but many reviewers have described them as flares. They have a high-rise waistband and the polyester-spandex fabric has four-way stretch which one shopper wrote is “opaque and of perfect thickness.” Shoppers have worn them everywhere from the gym to casual office settings, and one reviewer raved that they’re “great to throw into a suitcase for travel and can be worn for exercise or for a night out on the town.” The flares come in more than 50 shades, including solid and patterned options, as well as versions that have a criss-cross waistband that cuts into a V shape in the front.

When you’re feeling fancy — even if you don’t want to spend a ton — opt for these velvet flare pants under $15.

The crushed velvet version of the pants come in this classic black and other jewel-toned hues (but you can also snag the flares in a variety of non-velvet hues and patterns). According to reviewers, you might have to alter the length of the pants if you’re on the petite side, as they may run on the long side.

One shopper wrote: “I work in a really hot climate, so even just leaving the office during the day can be uncomfortable.

The flare makes them that much cuter!”

Choose from solid and patterned versions of these pants (though not all have the same type of hem).
