Bootcut jeans, however, seem to have some more leeway.
They adopt a more straight-legged silhouette with a less exaggerated flare below the knee.
Rather, theyre meant to accommodate a boot, not make a disco-inspired statement.

While people remain divided, Celine weighed into the debate, categorizing Kendrick Lamars light-wash denim as flares.
So at least one case is settled.
