What happened??
It seems to have virtually disappeared. The Gap is now highlighting three options for jeans: Long & Lean, Curvy, and Low Rise Boot Cut.
Their Long and Lean jean is flared. Curvy and Low Rise Boot Cut are boot cut. They have backed off completely from the wide leg jean.
It stands to reason, since boot cut and flared jeans are so figure-flattering, slimming the thighs like no other cut can do.
As a children's clothing designer, I have to keep two factors balanced: the jeans cut that works best for kids, and the adult trends which inevitably predict kids' trends.
Fortunately for both adults and kids, flared and boot-cut jeans seem to be here to stay for awhile.
