How to Style Black Flare Pants for Men: 3 Clean Outfits

Start with black flare pants, add a simple top, and choose your shoes before checking the hem. That is our starting point for a clean everyday outfit. The ideas below offer three ways to wear the silhouette, followed by the fit and fabric details worth checking before you buy.

Looking for black flare jeans for men? Pay attention to the individual product: a cotton flare pant and a waxed denim jean can have different finishes, details and care instructions. Here is how we would build an outfit around each.

1. White tee, black flares, everyday sneakers

Try: a plain white crewneck tee, Jet Black Flare Pants, and white or off-white sneakers.

Keep the tee untucked to start, then try a small front tuck if you prefer a more visible waistline. For this look, we suggest a tee that ends around the upper hip rather than covering most of the thigh. Check the outfit from the side as well as the front: the goal is a shape you enjoy wearing, not a particular size label.

Put on your sneakers before judging the length. Walk a few steps and check that the back hem clears the floor. If it catches under your heel, have the length assessed instead of relying on a different waist size to solve it.

2. An overshirt and a restrained color palette

Try: black flares, an ecru tee, a gray or olive overshirt, and simple sneakers.

Wear the overshirt open to show the lighter layer beneath. We would keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the leg shape provide the detail. If the shirt feels too long, try a shorter jacket before changing the pants.

This is an outfit formula to adapt to your wardrobe. A solid-color knit can replace the tee; a light jacket can replace the overshirt. Compare one change at a time so you can see which proportions you prefer.

3. Waxed flares with a knit and boots

Try: Waxed Flare Zipper Jeans, a plain black or charcoal knit, and black ankle boots.

Our suggestion is to keep the top understated and make the waxed finish the focal point. Check how the hem sits over the boot shaft while standing and walking. The side-ankle zippers are a detail of this particular jean; they are not a feature of every Hyper Denim flare.

Prefer a simpler finish? Use the Jet Black Flare Pants with the same top and shoes, then compare the two looks.

Jet Black or Waxed: check the details

These are the specifications on the respective product pages at publication:

• Jet Black Flare Pants: slim through the thigh with a slight flare, 98% cotton and 2% spandex, and a slit at the hem with no zipper. The listed care instruction is machine wash cold.
• Waxed Flare Zipper Jeans: waxed stretch denim, 97% cotton and 3% spandex, with side-ankle zippers. The listed care instruction is do not wash.

Check the current product page and the garment's care label for your pair. Do not apply the cotton pant's washing instructions to the waxed jean. Fabric composition alone does not tell you that two styles will feel or stretch identically.

Check fit before choosing a size

For Jet Black Flare Pants, the published size chart lists a 32.5-inch inseam for size 30 and a 33-inch inseam for sizes 32 through 40. The model information lists a 6-foot-2, 170-pound model wearing size 32. Use those details as a reference rather than a guarantee of how the pants will fit you.

• Compare the product's size chart with a pair whose fit you already like.
• Check the rise and thigh measurements as well as length.
• Try the pants with the shoes you expect to wear most.
• Before altering a slit or zippered hem, ask a tailor how the alteration would affect that detail.

Two common styling questions

Can I wear sneakers with black flare pants?

Yes—sneakers are our starting suggestion for the first two outfits. Check where the hem lands on your particular pair. A different sole height can change how much fabric rests on the shoe.

Do all black flare pants have ankle zippers?

No. The Jet Black style featured here has a slit without a zipper; the Waxed Flare Zipper Jeans have side-ankle zippers. Check the individual listing rather than assuming that the same detail appears across the collection.
