From baggy styles to more fitted silhouettes, these flare jeans prove anyone can rock this classic design. (Nordstrom Rack)(Nordstrom Rack)
Sure, comfy leggings and joggers are all the rage, but one fashion staple simply won't fade away: jeans. If you look in just about anyone's closet, you'll find at least one pair (and probably a lot more). One particular cut is making a comeback, and happily, it's one of the most universally flattering: flare jeans. They're fitted in the thigh and seat and gradually widen from the knees down, creating a silhouette that's both retro and modern.

You don't have to spend big to get a high-quality pair of flare jeans, and these classics from trusted name Lucky Brand prove it. They have a touch of stretch, a wide flare and just enough fading through the leg to make them perfect for casual spring and summer days. And who can argue with 60% off?
Looking for a flare that's not too dramatic? These jeans are among Nordstrom Rack shoppers' go-to picks, and at over 55% off, they're one of the best premium-brand steals we've seen in a while. The dark indigo wash is polished, and there's plenty of stretch.
"Loved them back in 2008 [and] love them now!" one fan wrote. "Such a slimming classic denim. Perfect with a heel. Coming from someone who finds it really hard to find jeans because I don't have a curvy figure, this jean was literally made for me."
Levi's is an OG denim brand, so you know you're getting top quality with these mid-rise flares. They have an easy-breezy baggy silhouette that pairs well with a simple T-shirt. They're not stretchy, but the generous cut means they also aren't restricting, so you can wear 'em all day without tugging at them.
Looking for a more retro style that also has some give? These high-waisted flare jeans are made of soft, stretchy denim that makes them super comfy for all-day wear, and this medium-blue wash is a versatile classic — dress it up, dress it down, wear it everywhere.
"These were adorable," a shopper wrote. "Super cute fit and a great price! Love, love, love!"
Like the darker 7 for All Mankind denim above, the flare on these is more subtle, and since they're made of a stretchy cotton blend, they have lots of give. The lighter, more faded wash may be more versatile for some wearers, especially in the summer months.
"These jeans are perfect," wrote a pleased reviewer. "They are not as overpriced [as] the 7s anywhere else. You can literally buy these jeans for less than what you would pay for a used pair on Poshmark."
A raw hem, high-rise waist and subtle flare make these jeans an all-star find. (It also doesn't hurt that they're over 55% off.) Perfect for those late-spring and summer days, the denim is lightweight and stretchy, giving your legs room to move and breathe.
These also have one of the simplest silhouettes of the bunch, and at almost $130 off, this is a bargain you don't want to pass up, especially since all sizes are still in stock.
We couldn't round out this list without some sleek black denim. These high-waist jeans are super stretchy, and the leather-like coating and floor-sweeping flare bring the drama, no matter the season.
Right now, they've over 60% off, bringing them down to $100. If you love that leather look, but can't fathom that annoying sound and sticky feel that comes with the real thing, these are a comfy alternative.
