How to Stack Your Flares Like a Pro
You've seen the look: a clean, heavy bunch of denim resting perfectly over chunky sneakers. That's the "stack" – the signature of true streetwear culture. But getting it right takes more than just buying an extra‑long inseam. Here's our pro guide to mastering the stacked flare.
Start with the Right Inseam
For a dramatic stack, your jeans should be 2–4 inches longer than your regular inseam. All our flares are cut with an elongated inseam by default, but if you're between sizes, size up for maximum bunch. The goal is to let the fabric settle naturally around your ankle without looking sloppy.
Pair with the Right Footwear
Stacked flares were made for chunky sneakers – think New Balance 550s, Nike Air Force 1s, or any platform silhouette. The bulk of the sneaker "catches" the hem and creates those vertical ripples. Avoid slim trainers or loafers; they'll make the stack look messy.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve the stack, never iron the hems flat. Wash inside out in cold water and hang dry – the raw edges will fray naturally, adding character. Avoid the dryer; heat shrinks the inseam and kills the stack.
