We've seen denim trends come and go only to circle back with a 15-second video that pops onto our For You pages. Recently, long-forgotten styles like micro-mini denim shorts have resurfaced in the fashion world. Now, another nostalgic denim silhouette is making its comeback: bootcut jeans.
A major fashion staple in the '90s, this slightly flared style was a go-to for celebrities, especially for airport outfits. Why? If you buy the right pair, they're as comfortable as sweatpants but look stylish and chic. With the resurgence of kick-flare pants thanks in part to High Sport's viral designs, it's no surprise that bootcut jeans are back in the spotlight. Shop the best bootcut jeans available now. While they pair perfectly with boots, as their name suggests, they also look great with heels or pointed ballerina flats for a polished look.
This wash taps into the '90s in a major way.
