Knowing Which Shoes to Wear With Flares Is Tricky—Here Are 6 Styles That Work

We all know that shopping for jeans can be quite an impossible task. With sizing and fit differing from brand to brand, finding "the one" can be tricky. But once you know the style that suits you, you've completed half the mission. And with non-skinny jeans a firm favourite at the moment, flared jeans are at the top of the list.

Whether you go for a wide-leg flare, a tighter fit or a crop, the next step is to know which shoes to style with them. Not all shoes, sandals and boots go with all flared jeans. While longer styles are most suited to heeled ankle boots and sandals, cropped pairs look effortless with trainers and other flats. So to find out which shoes suit your favourite flares, keep scrolling for some outfit inspiration.

1. Cropped Flares + Flat Sandals

This time of year, a flat slip-on sandal is an easy way to make indigo flared jeans feel more summery. 

2. Cropped Flares + Loafers

A cropped flare is perfect to wear with flats, so embrace the comfort of a classic loafer. 

Of course, Ralph Lauren always has great shirt options. 

It's all about the slight stretch for extra comfort. 

3. Slim Flares + Square-Toe Ankle Boots

You'll wear these so many times across all seasons.

Adding a small heel to a pair of flares will help elongate the legs even further. 

Perfect if you prefer a tighter fit. 

5. Cropped Flares + Trainers

If your flares are cropped, you can easily wear a casual trainer. It's not about the floor-sweeper look, though, so make sure your jeans aren't dragging behind you (especially if they're white).

Such a good length to wear with kicks. 

6. Long Flares + Heeled Sandals

Heeled sandals are always a winner when it comes to a longer length flare. Make like Anne-Victoire and go top-to-toe tonal for a seamless look. 

You'll wear this so many times. 

The buckles make these look so premium.
