After Kendrick Lamar wore a pair of flared jeans at the Super Bowl halftime show, searches for the style have risen by 5000%, and we’ve already found how to get the look for less
There were plenty of discussions online about Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show, but one thing we weren’t expecting to be front and centre was his wardrobe choices. Despite the spectacular show, which saw him bring on special guests including Samuel L. Jackson, SZA and Serena Williams, Kenrick’s cut of jeans were the main focus of many people’s conversations, causing searches for flared jeans to skyrocket by 5000% in the following days according to Endource.
His flared jeans, which were the £830 Flared Surf Jeans in Summer Dazed Wash Denim from Celine, had people delighted by the low key, unexpected look. It’s no surprise, therefore, that fans have been hunting high and low for their own version to copy Kendrick’s style. So if you’re looking to get his look for less, we’ve found three different styles to shop.

Stradivarius Low Rise Flare Jean In Mid Blue, £29.99
With their slim fit through the hips and thighs and dramatic flare out from the knee, not to mention the mid-wash blue colour, these Stradivarius jeans are the perfect way to get Kendrick’s look on a major budget. Available in sizes 4 to 16, they have a low rise waistband that’s perfect for nailing the 00s-inspired look.
Abercrombie & Fitch Mid Rise Bootcut Jean, £75
If you prefer a mid rise to a low one, these Abercrombie & Fitch jeans are the way to go. Although you can get a similar mid-blue wash to Kendrick’s pair, you can also pick them up in four other shades of black and blue. They’re fitted at the waist, hips, and thighs with a bootcut leg shape below the knee, and are made from a stretch fabric which features high stretch for added comfort and fit.
They also have a longer length, similar to Kendrick’s Celine pair. If you struggle with jeans that fit both your hips and waist, you can also pick up the Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love Mid Rise Bootcut Jean, also £75, which have additional room through the hip and thigh for curve-hugging comfort.
Levi’s Ribcage Bell Jeans, £120
If all this talk of low and mid-rise waistbands leave you in a cold sweat, Levi’s jeans have got you covered – literally. The ultra-high waisted ribcage fit jeans have a 12 inch rise, and now come in a bellbottom style shape that flares out below the knee. You can also choose from three different leg lengths – 30, 32 and 34 inches – so you can get the perfect fit.
