For a trend designed to let other trends take the spotlight, consider a pair of cropped flared jeans that will allow your most stylish shoes of the season to take center stage. “With the rise of athletic sneakers and cowboy boots, customers are looking to show off their new footwear with anything cropped,” says Christine Chung, VP of sales and marketing at Just Black Denim. And that’s not the only perk, she adds, pointing to the elongating quality of a slight flare as an example. “Not only is [silhouette] helping to lengthen the leg, but it’s super comfortable and wearable from day to night.”
