Flares - whose going to do them then?

[traceybath]

I have just purchased these amd they are very nice indeed.

Now I'm only 5ft so was sceptical but they are actually pretty leg-lengthening especially as worn long with high wedges.

Now just have to figure what footwear to wear with them now and what tops.

Whistles do some very nice long flares. Very flarey, bit £££ but always found their jeans last. I'm 5 11 and would most certainly have to wear them with wedges to avoid soggy bottom! Waiting for imminent sunny weather

There is definitely a difference between frumpy bootlegs and skinny flares!

I'd love to, but at 6ft I think I'd just look scary tall in them

Hmmm...has anyone tried the GAP (non-pintucked) ones? Am a little scared to order online without trying, or having a report of the fit, first.

I popped into GAP last week to try on the jeans (given 25% discount) and couldn't summon up enough courage to try on the proper flares. I did try on the high-waist version and thought they made me look a little frumpy - maybe just because I'm not used to to them.

I did really like the sexy bootcut but think I'm going to get these long & lean jeans Yes, I know some of you will say they're bootcuts!!

Agree with OP that if they are really long and worn with high heels they are very flattering and leg-lengthening.

Size 3 feet have put me off flares as hate having no shoe on display and have had that embarrassing moment when one foot gets trapped in the front of the other trouser leg (still haunts me now!)

I have just bought some oasis ones they are fabulous, have really interesting plaiting detail round pockets, proper 70s. They are high waisted too v slimming. Am sick of skinnies and to me bootcut just look frumpy and old fashioned.

Want some tops to wear with them, tucked in but not pussy bow, don't suit blouses really.

Today I dug out my flares and wore them with my new Boden (winter sale) white frill-front shirt. I thought it looked FAB. DH promptly googled a pic of Austin Powers . I am undeterred.

Chippy, clearly you're just too fashion-forward for him.

I love flares, being tall I find them very easy to wear. I think that they are the most flattering trouser cut of all tbh.
