Yo Ho! M&S 70s flares back in stock!

[Love2Dance]

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

[janestheone]

just bought a pair from M&S France site, free delivery. Now let me outta here before I spend any more money

Thanks Ring. I like a trouser that sits on my natural waist, but it can be difficult because my waist is 2 sizes smaller than my hips. I'm a classic "pear."

[RingtheBells]

I'm 31 inch waist and size 14 fits me perfectly and is not all loose like some jeans, so probably true to size.

[Springisontheway]

How do they run in the waist? Are they relatively small in the waist?

[BerniceBobsHerHair]

Have also seen these and these at H&M as an alternative.

[RingtheBells]

I can also recommend the Next couture flares, I didn't get those though as the length wasn't quite right on me, they are quite similar to the Marksies ones.

[RingtheBells]

I bought 14L and they are 34.5 inch leg, just right on me with a small heel, I'm 5'10. I tried them on with my knee length cardigan and they looked good. I also have a black pair from Next which are a bit more subtle and are very flattering.

Absolutely love mine, I'm 5"8 and they are really long, I wear them with some purple suede wedge boots and they are perfect.....soooo pleased with them. And they're really flattering too, I'm a 16-18 and they make me feel fabulous x

[Pandsbear]

I don't think they are massively massively flared- but then I never embraced the skinny jean look so they are not such a divergence from the wide leg look I like. BUT they are sooooo long. I do have short arse legs but even so I have had to take them up a bit to wear with my blockest heels for general wear! Oh and I think they will stretch, anyone found this yet?

[Anjelika]

The 2 pairs I've bought recently (Next & River Island) both require heels but I pulled an old Next pair out of the cupboard today which I had thankfully kept hold of. They are too short to be worn with heels and in the past I have only ever worn them in summer with flip flops but I am wearing them today with (smart) trainers for work (dress down Friday). It's definitely good to have some flares to wear with flats!

[SconessMcFloness]

I finally found a flattering pair in zara but they require heels which limits their appeal to the odd night out.

[WagonWheel]

Still loving mine, although I am really as to everyone's comments that they are really flarey! I am 5'9 and bought an 8 in them and they don't seem at all humungous or triangular around the bottom. (This is from someone who remembers them as a child first time around and has the photographic evidence). Anjelika, I tried the Next ones and they didn't look good on me, although others have recommended them too.

I am liking the idea of the 70s coming back into fashion. Gives me a chance to do it better this time...

[Anjelika]

I collected a pair yesterday but promptly returned them in favour of the Next "Couture" flares (the £28 ones) which I had tried on the other week and liked but not bought at the time. The M&S ones looked OK on me but the Next ones looked better so I would urge anyone who's missed out on the M&S ones to try the Next ones.

Thanks

I'm 5'3 and I would class myself as a size 11 annoyingly. I bought size 10s in a fit of optimism and they fit perfectly for a high waist.

They are long on me. And actually I think they look better on slightly curvier folk. I Can't remember the model on the website to compare to im afraid.

[FlaviaAlbia]

Do they looked nicer/more flattering on than on the model on the website?

I've bought things in M&S sometimes which look great on me begone modesty but not great on the models on the website. I'm 5'2' and a size 12 so not exactly a supermodel either.

[ThursdayLast]

Picked mine up today (finally) and I LOVE them!

[oigetoffmycheese]

I wore mine today. Loved them. Forced me to wear heels as they do need the extra height. Felt fab in them all day.

After years of skinnies I think I may love the flare again.

Thx for the tip off.

[CointreauVersial]

Teens don't get this flare-love.

They are such fashion dinosaurs.

[MrsGuyGarvey]

That's be pert of arse although I've probably been part of an arse too.

[MrsGuyGarvey]

Got mine today too. I'd thought they'd look suit me as I'm reasonably tall and still manage to be part of arse. Ha ha ha ha they gave me large thighs I never knew I had and made me look dumpy. They gave my teens a good laugh. Going straight back.

[Katz]

Mine arrived, and love them, the fit on the leg is great and the flare is genuine flare not boot cut and they're just the right length to wear with low heels - thank you love2dance for the heads up.

[oigetoffmycheese]

Well. I have just tried on my size and the size down. Both fit. The size down only just.

So my question is. Do they stretch?

Ps. I am only 5ft 2 and don't find them too long or too flappy. Just right. I am amazed as all the ASOS ones I tried were about a foot too long. I was ready to give up.

Can anyone who has worn them advise on the stretchiness?

TIA

[oigetoffmycheese]

I've just taken delivery of mine. If they are that flappy though I might give them a miss
