I’ve always had a soft spot for flared jeans. There’s something about the retro-inspired silhouette that makes any outfit feel instantly cooler. But while I love the look, the reality is usually less enjoyable – rigid fabrics, uncomfortable buttons, and that tight squeeze usually make you want to take them off before the day has even begun.
So when I first tried on the Bowie Stretch Flare Jeans in Black from Saint + Sofia, I wasn’t expecting them to be the exception. But they are. And now I’m wondering how I managed without them. And although I did size up after reading some reviews, these beauties have become some of my most comfortable jeans, making them one of my capsule wardrobe essentials. They also come in a wide range of sizes from a UK 6 to a 22. Although, because of the size advice in the reviews and from my own experience, I would say they would fit up to a UK size 20.
