Are these coming back?

It's so hard to find them!

I think they tried but locally to me they all went into the sale and are now gone.

I've not seen many in the shops round here - I'd say those high waisted straight legs or wide legs are the main alternative to skinnies at the moment. But I've noticed quite a few women wearing flares again this summer so if the buyers notice too (which is perhaps a stretch too far) they might start re-stocking.

Ohhh flares!
I remember them well. The 1970's, the decade taste forgot.

I love 70s fashion, personally. I wasn't around to experience it the first time however.
I have flared jeans, from Top Shop. I got them the year before last though.

I nabbed an ace pair in Old Navy when I was in NYC a couple of years back. Cheap as chips and they look bloody amazing (dark blue denim). I find cheaper shops like New Look, H&M etc are more likely to have them.

I got mine from ASOS
I love them.
I got an original 70s wing collared t shirt to go with it.
Groovy.

I tried to find proper ones but no luck

MineKraftCheese · 09/07/2017 19:36

@IJustLostTheGame Sounds awesome. I love wearing mine with chunky platform boots for a 70s vibe.

HoneyDragon · 09/07/2017 19:37

You're not having mine I love them.

Try TKMaxx. I got a pair of flared jeans in there back in the autumn.

There was some attempt to bring them back last year I think, and it's a shame they didn't seem to catch on this time round. Loved wearing flared jeans in the late 90s/early 2000s! I think they flatter a much wider range of body shapes than skinnies or straight legs.

what shoes are you all wearing with your flares - I'm getting tired of skinnies

BeyonceZ · 09/07/2017 20:59

I'm also very tired of skinnies. And I remember how flared jeans make my legs look really longer. I miss that.

I wear chunky platforms, wedges, trainers of all kinds, flip flops or brogues. Ankle boots in winter.
