Seventies High-Waist Flare Jeans
The flare
High-waist flare jeans with a wide hem
Slim through the hip and thigh, they kick out into a wide flare from the knee: the classic seventies line that balances the hips.
The flare is generous but balanced, retro rather than costume.
Over a heeled boot or platform the legs look endless; with trainers, the hem skims the ground. It is one of the most flattering jean shapes there is.
Flares are back for good reason: the wide hem balances the hips and makes legs look longer, especially with a small heel or a chunky boot.
The rise
A high, flattering waist
The waist sits at or above your natural waistline, smoothing the stomach and lengthening the legs.
It is firm enough to hold, comfortable all day, and stays in place when you sit.
A zip and button fly, five pockets and high back pockets that lift the shape. Soft fading on the thighs and a raw, frayed hem add vintage character.
The high rise sits at the natural waist and smooths the line under a tucked-in shirt or a fitted knit. It holds you in comfortably without pinching when you sit, so they work from desk to dinner.
The fit
UK sizing, S to 4XL
S is UK 10, M UK 12, L UK 14, XL UK 16, XXL UK 18 and 3XL UK 20, followed by the 4XL. Choose the size that matches your waist and hip measurements.
The legs are long, so they look best with a heel or a platform.

Deep blue is the classic, light blue feels relaxed for spring, and black dresses up easily for an evening out. Wash them inside out at 30°C with dark colours to keep the shade rich for longer.
From Maria & Denis
High-waist flare jeans are pure seventies glamour — a high rise that holds you in, a slim fit through the hip and thigh, and a wide flare from the knee to the floor.
Light blue, deep blue or washed black, in sizes S to 4XL. They make legs look endless with heels, and cool and relaxed with trainers.

Fabric & care
Wash inside out at 30°C with dark colours, especially for the first few washes — that keeps the wash where it is and stops dye transferring.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in these jeans?
They come in sizes S to 4XL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the jeans themselves, taken flat: bust, waist and hip. Measure a similar pair you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash these jeans?
Wash inside out at 30°C with dark colours, especially for the first few washes — that keeps the wash where it is and stops dye transferring. Hang to dry. Tumble drying shrinks denim and fades it faster.
What shoes go with these jeans?
Clean white trainers and ankle boots work every day, loafers make them smarter. With a longer, wider leg, pick shoes with a little height or a chunky sole so the hem does not drag.
