Zoë Kravitz Just Brought Back 2016’s Favorite Kick-Flare Jeans

What makes Zoë Kravitz so effortlessly cool is that she never looks like she’s trying to be cool. Case in point: one casual step outside, and the internet is officially in a frenzy over her jeans.

At first glance, Kravitz’s denim looks like the perfect throwback: low-rise, cropped at the ankle, and finished with a subtle flare. She paired the not-so-everywhere-right-now silhouette with a perfectly cropped white tee, kitten-heel ballet flats, shield sunglasses, a YSL bag, and the ultimate cool-girl accessory: wired headphones casually dangling from her bag. Add her signature micro twists, and the whole look feels like a master class in making the ordinary look impossibly chic.

Naturally, the internet had questions. Are they The Row? EB Denim? R13? After a little digging, we found the answer: they’re the Alexander Wang Trap Jean, a style that dates back nearly a decade. And while they may look low-rise and cropped, the original silhouette is actually designed to sit differently. What Kravitz has tapped into is the kick-flare jean—a style that had a major moment around 2016 and, judging by this sighting, might be ready for its comeback tour.

Want to recreate the look? The secret is all in the fit. Go for a slightly oversized pair of jeans and wear them lower on the hips to mimic Kravitz’s effortlessly undone, low-rise effect.

The original Alexander Wang pair may be long gone from traditional retailers, but that’s nothing a little eBay deep dive can’t fix. And if you’d rather skip the vintage hunt, we’ve rounded up 10 similar styles from our favorite denim retailers to help you get the look.
