As the weather changes between spring and summer, a breathable knit top and a pair of vintage cut flared jeans is the perfect transition formula. You don’t have to layer, you can just use items you already have in your closet to create an easy and stylish everyday look.
This is a great combination that can handle the difference in temperature between morning and evening, as well as keep your style stable in the event of a sudden afternoon thunderstorm. Street fashionistas have already demonstrated the “bell-bottom pants + knit top” look, whether it’s minimalist, romantic, or casual, it’s a great way to show off your personal style. Let’s take a look at Vogue’s top picks for inspiration on how to be both practical and stylish during the seasonal change!
How do you pull off the “flared jeans + thin knit” look?
Gray Flared Jeans + Pink Vegan Knit Shirt
The street style has spoken for itself: the best jeans for Spring/Summer 2025 are the vintage flared jeans. Choose a light gray, slightly tailored design, and pair it with a pink knit shirt and normcore-inspired pumps for a color-blocked look that’s not only refreshing, but also eye-catching in a low-key way.
Raw denim flared pants + fluffy printed polo shirt
In the face of a sudden drop in temperature in the afternoon, a fluffy printed polo sweater will do the trick. We recommend pairing it with denim jeans in the original color, or even vintage items from thrift stores or at home. A leather trench coat, white T, and sneakers make for a classic and practical mix and match.
White Flared Jeans + Zipped Ribbed Knit Shirt
If you like to keep it simple, go for a white look: white flared jeans with a zip-up ribbed jumper in the same color, a black tailored blazer and pointy toe boots. This look is perfect for a formal meeting or a workday.
Washed Brushed Flared Pants + Chunky Knit Irish Sweater
The texture of the sweater brings out the understated quality of even the most avant-garde washed styles. Pair it with coffee-colored boots and you’re ready for a holiday picnic, a city stroll, or even a road trip.
High Waisted Light Blue Flared Pants + Ruffled White Knit Top
Flared pants are not just for bohemian style! Pair them with a white ruffled knit top, a wide brown belt, and fringed loafers for an elegant yet sweet look.
