Resurfacing from the ‘70s, flared pants are back in style around the University of Maryland’s campus. A Harper’s Bazaar article on 2022 fashion trends even explained in its low rise section that “trousers and denim are loose and sit coolly at the hips.”
Sarah Cohen, a freshman psychology major, shared that she wears flared pants almost daily.
“I like flared pants because they add a sense of style while still being comfortable,” Cohen said. Check out how UMD students paired their flares on Tuesday, Feb. 8 around McKeldin Mall.
A student sitting on the McKeldin steps flared their black yoga pants over a pair of black Vans.
A pair walking into the library showed off flared jeans over their matching New Balance sneakers. One added a splash of color with an orange puffer coat.
These two students walking past the sundial on their phones displayed similar looks with their flared pants over block-style, white sneakers. The left look incorporates a splash of blues and another 2022 trend: vests. The right look aimed to showcase more neutral colors and a blazer.
