This Anti–Skinny Jean Trend Is Coming Back With a Vengeance in 2020

If I opened your denim drawer right now, I bet I could guess some of the key silhouettes stored inside—straight-leg jeans, skinnies, and perhaps even an of-the-moment outlier like those “grandpa” cuts. But what’s one style that probably hasn’t surfaced to the top of the pile as much as of late? Flares. Sure, cropped flares have been well, cropping up, over the last few years, but the more polarizing bootcut and bell-bottom styles (aka anti–skinny jeans) haven't been as popular again until recently. Well, get ready—as we continue to see on the runway and streets, flares are officially back and will continue to hold strong through 2020.

That’s right, designers from Celine to Paco Rabanne reintroduced fresh flared jeans in their S/S 20 collections as the next It denim pick for the forward set. And fun fact, celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, and Harry Styles have already been following suit in ’70s-inspired flares. Fashion girls are also starting to embrace the vibe after stepping out in a range of cool styles throughout fashion month.

To highlight the look further, we broke down how the flare trend is taking over the runway, celeb, and It-girl world right now for you below. We also shopped out the coolest cuts of the moment if you’re ready to try the trend again—before everyone else does come 2020.

Light-wash flares pop even more with black separates like with this cropped black knit. On Margot Robbie: Chanel sweater
A tangerine-colored sweater half-tucked into wider-leg bell-bottoms feels so right now. Who: Harry Styles
The split-seam opening at the bottom of the flare makes these jeans especially modern. On Gigi Hadid: Monse Jacket; 7 for All Mankind Luxe Vintage Exaggerated Kick-Flare Jeans ($225); Ferragamo bag
Amp up flared jeans even more with a vibrant cropped jacket and statement accessories. On Penélope Cruz: Paige Genevieve Flares ($229); Chanel bag
Celine sent a slew of models down the runway this season in a variety of bell-bottom cuts. This denim-on-denim vibe with the slouchy white blazer is where it's at.
We’d describe this Brandon Maxwell silhouette featuring iconic flared jeans and that popped-collar blouse as "classic with a twist."
Embroidered flares turned up in Paco Rabanne’s S/S 20 collection as the most playful way to lean into those ’70s throwback vibes.
While the longer bell-bottom silhouettes generally reigned supreme, this Alberta Ferretti ensemble proves that cropped flares still have a home come spring 2020.
Elevate dark flares with a modern blazer and classic white ankle boots.
A long duster coat works flawlessly with longer flares for an of-the-moment silhouette.
Slightly cropped flared jeans in a tailored cut paired with a tucked-in top and blazer are polished for work (or a night out).
Adding a multi-patterned turtleneck into your denim ensemble is a simple way to make a serious impact.
Fashion editors everywhere are all about the Levi's "ribcage" silhouette. 
Voila. Here are the jeans Gigi loves.
A dark-wash pair is ideal for more dressed-up occasions.
Try these slightly cropped flared jeans with flats or heels.
The lived-in feel of these vintage-inspired jeans feels so right.
Team these lighter-wash flares with a printed top and heeled mules for a night out.
Floor-sweeping flares are incredibly forward.
Love skinnies but want to try flares? Go for a skinny-flare style for a happy medium.
Pair these spot-on flares with a lower heel to keep the silhouette long and cool. 
If you work in a more casual office setting, try these polished flares for that 9-5 life.
We have a feeling elevated denim flares like this will stay "in" for seasons to come.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
