The flare jeans for a long day of sitting and commuting

A high rise flare jean in stretch denim, cut loose through the leg and slightly wider at the hem. The listing offers three inseam lengths and a fabric of 93% cotton, 5% polyester and 2% spandex, so here is what that means.

The fabric is 93% cotton, 5% polyester and 2% spandex. Cotton carries most of it, and the listing calls the denim soft and breathable. The 2% spandex is where the stretch comes from, a small amount, with the 5% polyester alongside it. The listing does not state a denim weight in ounces, so how heavy or light the pair feels is not something the specification answers.

The shape is high rise, wide through the leg, with a slight flare toward the hem. The listing describes the loose cut as suited to long stretches of sitting, commuting and everyday movement, and says it is aimed at pear shaped and hourglass figures. Those are the seller’s claims about fit, and whether a flare looks right on you is a matter of taste rather than measurement. Inseams come in Short at 29 inches, Medium at 31 inches and Long at 33 inches. The listing gives no rise measurement and no waist or hip chart, so check the size table before ordering.

Care is simple: machine wash cold and tumble dry low. The listing mentions careful stitching, and says the jeans are imported. It does not name a country, and it does not say whether the denim is pre washed.
