Rag & Bone Women’s Alex Cropped Mini Flare Jean

Description

The Alex is Rag & Bone’s cropped mini-flare — fitted through the hip and thigh, subtle flare from the knee, cropped at the ankle. This is the flare for people who want the silhouette without the ’70s commitment. The short inseam (27 inches) means the mini-flare ends right above the ankle bone, which balances the proportions beautifully with both flats and low heels.

Honest take: the Alex solves the flare-jean problem that most cropped flares have — they look stubby. Rag & Bone nailed the proportion by keeping the flare subtle and the crop high. Built in 12-oz Italian cotton-elastane, with meaningful stretch through the hip and thigh so the fitted-above-flared-below silhouette doesn’t feel restrictive. Runs true to size. The washes are where Rag & Bone usually shines — the rinse-dark indigo and the faded medium-blue both age well. At $275, they’re investment pricing; justify it if you actually wear flares regularly.

Why we recommend it: The cropped flare done right. Subtle flare, ankle crop, proportional balance. Not stubby.
