A Ribbed Tee With Faded Blue Flares

A white scoop-neck tee sits close through the torso above medium-blue flares, with fine ribs running toward a narrow brown belt. Brown suede sneakers and a small leather shoulder bag bring warm color beside the faded denim. The tee’s lower edge meets the waistband, leaving the curved front pockets visible. Pale patches across the thighs follow the fitted upper legs before the denim spreads outward over the sneakers. The ribbed cotton and brushed suede look particularly good with a softly faded wash. A rounded sneaker toe shows beneath each opening.

Choose The Length In Your Shoes

Have full-length flares pinned with the shoes you intend to wear beneath them. The front edge can rest lightly on the shoe’s upper, with the back clearing the ground. Walk a few steps before the length is marked so the denim settles over the shoes.

Check where the leg begins to widen. On close-fitting flares, the narrow section should sit comfortably around the knee. Shortening the jeans reduces the distance between that shaped section and the finished hem. The knee position remains where it was originally cut unless the alteration includes reshaping the leg. Denim tailoring guidance treats that position as part of preserving the intended silhouette during substantial shortening.

A pinned hem also shows the opening at the proposed length. Since the lower leg widens toward the bottom, folding several inches upward places the new edge in a narrower section. Look at the folded outline from the front and side before deciding how much denim to remove.

Include the existing hem finish in the alteration request. A faded stitched edge contributes to the appearance of washed denim, and an original-hem alteration is an option to discuss with the tailor. Levi’s lists original, standard, chain-stitched and raw hems among its alteration finishes.

A Soft Shirt At A High Waist

Tuck a blue-and-white striped button-down into high-rise flares, then ease some cotton back above the waistband. Start near the side seams and work around the waist until the shirt rests softly through the stomach. The front buttons can run down toward the jeans’ fastening, with a few loose folds on either side.

Thin, supple cotton gathers comfortably inside the waistband. The shirt needs enough length to stay tucked when seated, leaving some ease above the belt.

Deep-blue flares, burgundy penny loafers and a narrow brown belt suit the striped shirt. The dark denim gives the fine blue lines a rich setting, especially with burgundy leather visible beneath the hems. Leave the top shirt button open so the collar rests naturally around the neck.

Dressing Around Studded Pockets

The front pockets on The Supermade’s Vintage Washed Studded Pocket Flared Jeans – 2617 have curved borders outlined with metal studs. Heavy fading and whisker creases cross the upper denim. The cut fits closely through the thighs and opens into pronounced flared legs.

Use the upper row of studs to judge where the top should end. A fitted black tee resting at the waistband leaves the complete pocket curves exposed, including the metal pieces near the outside hips. Wear the jeans with black platform sneakers and a compact black shoulder bag.

When arranging a tucked top, let the cotton settle above that same row of studs.

A Long Cardigan Over A White Tank

An open taupe cardigan falls to the upper thighs over a white tank tucked into blue flares. Brown ankle boots sit beneath the denim. The long knit overlaps the fitted upper legs, and its fronts move away from the hips as you walk. Keep the sleeves relaxed through the upper arms. The tank sits close beneath the cardigan, giving the knit room to settle around the waist.

Outfits For Different Denim Washes

Opening A Hoodie Above Ruched Denim

Fasten a gray hoodie through the chest, then raise its lower slider toward the waistband. This requires a two-way separating zipper, which allows the front to open from the bottom. Wear the hoodie over a white tee tucked into black flares, with white leather sneakers. The lower opening reveals the jeans’ fastening between the sweatshirt’s corners.

The Supermade’s Vintage Distressed Button Fly Ruched Panel Flared Jeans – 2648 have a multi-button fly and gathered panels through the upper legs. Lighter areas of the distressed wash follow the raised folds. The jeans have a slim upper fit and strongly flared lower legs.

Ankle-Length Flares And Mary Janes

Red leather Mary Janes are a noticeable part of an outfit with blue flares ending above the ankle. Their straps cross the exposed instep, and the rounded toes sit clearly beneath the denim. Add a navy-and-white striped crewneck and a navy shoulder bag. The top can hang straight to the upper hips, with its sleeves reaching the wrists.

Choose a cropped cut whose outward curve is already visible below the knee. Look at that section with the jeans on: the denim needs enough room around the calf to fall into the flare.

Denim From The Collar Down

Place the denim shirt beside the jeans and compare the blue around their plackets, waistbands and pocket seams. For a closely matched outfit, start with a similar medium blue in both pieces.

A soft snap-front shirt tucked into flares looks good with brown suede boots and a narrow brown belt. Ease a little fabric above the waistband so the chest and shoulders retain room. Pointed chest-pocket flaps and stitching across the shoulder yoke give the shirt detail above the belt. Pearl-look snaps form a pale line down the front, ending just above the jeans’ fastening.
