Flared Jeans
If a wide cut that starts at your hips feels a bit too dramatic, try a pair of flared bottoms that start to open up around the knee instead. This subtler style still makes a statement without giving full-on bell-bottom. Look for a pair with chic trouser seams in a dark wash for elevated, going-out looks, or one with lived-in frayed hems for a vintage rockstar vibe. Click on to see if flared jeans are the best wide-leg denim option for you.

Barrel-Leg Jeans
Barrel-leg jeans — distinctive thanks to their sculptural shape and versatility across body types — have spiked in popularity recently, despite being a divisive style. Also called horseshoe or balloon jeans, they curve out at the knee (wider than your hips) and taper in at the ankle. Look through our top picks, which feature darted seams and statement stitching.
