There are times when a standard, well-fitted, plain pair of jeans can be just the ticket. This is not one of those times. The Diesel Ultra-Flare Jeans ($190) feature a weathered look with a fit that is tight around the knees then flares to the bottoms, as well as worn edges on the hems and distressed stitching on the back pockets. What really makes these attractive for us is their similarity to Abercrombie's now-deceased Barstar Flare line, which were some of the coolest jeans ever made.
