These flare jeans sit at a high rise, fit closer through the top, and open into a wide leg from there. The denim is a comfort stretch blend of cotton, rayon, polyester and spandex, with a zip fly, button closure and classic five pocket styling. Here is what the listing says, and what it leaves out.

The fabric is 73% cotton, 14% rayon, 11% polyester and 2% spandex. The listing spells polyester as Rolyester, which reads as a typo, but the four numbers add up to 100. Cotton makes up almost three quarters of the blend, and the 2% spandex is the part that provides the stretch the listing keeps pointing to.

The cut is high rise, fitted around the top and wider down the leg. The listing calls it flare, bell bottom, wide leg and bootcut in different places, and those words describe different shapes, so no single one tells you the exact leg opening. It gives no inseam, no rise measurement and no size chart, so look for those on the page before you order. It does not name a wash or say how long the stretch lasts.

Fit is described as snug at first, with the seller saying the jeans get more comfortable the more they are worn. That is the listing’s claim, not a measurement. The closure is a front zip fly with a button, and there are five classic pockets. Care is machine wash cold and tumble dry low. They are imported. Whether flare is your shape is a matter of taste, and the page cannot settle that.
