What do you reckon about flares?

[Ledkr]

I bought some flares. They are high wasted and fit really nicely.

I thought they'd make a change from skinnys and straights.

I'm size 16 with short legs so there's a danger I'll look ridiculous.

I also just realised that I can only really wear them with pumps as well or maybe wedges in the summer?

I'm not sure whether to trust the mirror but they look ok.

What is the rule for flared jeans you experts?

I'm not an expert but I think they can look nice.
They need to be long enough though...
Flapping around ankles isn't a good look.

If you look on Pinterest, there's pictures of people wearing them and you can barely see their shoes.

There's some fab photos of Claudia Schiffer wearing MiH Marrakech jeans.
Sorry but I can't link, on phone.

Yup, long enough to cover shoes when wearing high heels, and then I think they look great. Tops worn with them need to be of the right shape to balance the proportion.

Wrap are running a nice pair at the moment, I'm tempted.

Thanks, it's going to be hard work isn't it?

Yes I think they'll be harder work than skinnies!

I've just bought 2 pairs from Fat Face - the 'used' wash - they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm 5'8" size 12 and bought 2 lengths, the regular to wear with flats/Converse (they are just grazing the floor) and the long to wear with heels - the long is very long so will look good with at least 3 inch heels and the shoes will barely be seen as the previous poster says. They are very very flattering - I'm with you, I love flares.

I have some flares. I love them but DH takes the piss. I now tend to wear them in the garden and pretend I'm in the Good Life

I think they'd look good with some 70s esq sandals like saltwaters for the summer.

I used to have the most amazing miss sixty flares in my teenage years, I loved them. I want a pair of flared jeans now.

They wouldn't pass the DD2 ROLF test.

Only clothes that DD2 thinks are vaguely fashionable can be worn

Rofl

I just can't get past the "flares are the worst thing ever and you must never wear them" message with which I was vaccinated in 1979, aged eight. I blame the punks.

fab if you have wide shoulders and long legs like me

I've worn them today with a long jumper and converse and feel quite funky.
I'm dieting at the mo and think they will look better with less chunky legs!!
