They are back online for anyone who missed them first time around. Recommended.

Buy, buy, buy people! They are gorgeous, but a warning that they are very long (as they should be) so for wearing with heels only.

They look more boot cut than proper flares. Still like them though.

Dotty P's looks like they have some nice soft flares in. I saw them in Outdit the other day and they looked nice.

I bought the last pair in my local M and S first time around and they are really flattering so another recommendation, here. And yes, definitely more bootcut than true flare. As a comparison my DH bought me the Me and Em slim flares as a surprise but they are going back, sadly, as they are HUGE all the way down, and even longer than the M and S ones. I am 5'9 and wear the Mark's ones with no problem with converse.

Wonder if the renaissance of this item means they'll also get more of that denim skirt back in....

That's annoying, just tried to order a pair marked as low stock on the site and when I try to add to my basket, it comes up as out of stock :(

Thank you Love2dance. Got the long and regular just to be safe. I ordered them three flipping times before and they emailed me each time to cancel my order. So I phoned and said stop this nonsense why are you taking my money if they're not in stock but are showing up? And all they said was "we understand you are disappointed". Meh.

Thanks for link. I watched the video and they don't look good on the model at all. Do they look more fitted in real life?

God, they look crap in the video don't they! Trust me, they are waaay nicer in real life. I got a size 8 and they are really fitted and then flare out nicely. Definitely not bootcut. I hate bootcut jeans.

I hope they don't look like cheap bootcuts in the flesh

I'd say true to size yes.

I am so not ready for this.

I hate everything about them & with heels? Nooo! I can't bear that look, favoured by Victoria Beckham - it looks like you've got no feet.

I must be very untrendy.

Thank you kindly.

Now can we talk styling? I plan to wear them with wedges or clogs, but what else might work?

Deffo wedges and chunky platform sandals when it warms up.
