Noticing them everywhere but mainly on the younger crowd. I’m 30 and quite like the style of them. Is anyone wearing and loving them?

I'm 39 and I've always loved flares. River Island have some lovely ones

ladygindiva · 05/05/2022 20:15

kind of. I'm going for the super wide leg palazzo style. From petite range as I'm short. So much more airy than skinnies! Loving them.

ladygindiva · 05/05/2022 20:15

and I'm 47 !

samthebordercollie · 05/05/2022 20:19

I've just bought some and love them. Had compliments from the rest of the family. Usually wear skinny/mum/boyfriend jeans.
I'm 56

Not jeans but trousers, and I'm still wearing my flares, bootlegs and wide-legs from last time around! I dodged skinnies entirely, save a couple of pairs of everyday cords which I begrudge every time I put them on. I say choose trouser shape to complement your figure, height and personal preference, and to hell with fashion diktats trends.

ScarlettDarling · 05/05/2022 20:38

Yes, I’ve just bought a pair and I’m 47. Hadn’t crossed my mind that
im too old for them!

DinosaurOfFire · 05/05/2022 20:39

Yes, me, but I never stopped! I am glad to be able to find several pairs, my previous ones were 7 years old and starting to fall apart. This time round I'm buying a couple of pairs of my fave ones!

TheCanyon · 05/05/2022 20:39

I don't wear any other style of Jean and haven't for 20 odd years. I'm 35.

Scampi89 · 05/05/2022 22:42

I’m 39 and have glared jeans - love them!

FinnRussell · 05/05/2022 22:52

Had my new flares on today and late 40s. So happy to be back in flares.

thebabessavedme · 05/05/2022 23:49

Im 60, so so happy with my flared jeans - I have done skinny for years, got boyfriend and mom, flares look best, look great on my bum and actually make my legs look longer. woo hoo.

L0stinCyberspace · 05/05/2022 23:51

I had a fabulous pair from Mexx that I wore for a decade. Finally had to recycle them recently but nothing is coming close in terms of the flattering fit.

OldWivesTale · 06/05/2022 00:06

I have flares and never really stopped wearing them. I like them and don't care what's in fashion.

CatAndHisKit · 06/05/2022 00:15

I'd love recommendations of which ones aer best - I don't like traipsing may shops! Looking for wideish ones but not palazzo. I normally wear medium to dark jeans but I think flares aer nest in pale denim?

MoiraQueen · 06/05/2022 00:19

I'm 53 and love my skinny flares, I've been wearing them on and off for the last few years. Love flares. They don't go well with the wet weather and puddles though.

never stopped.

Sunnytwobridges · 06/05/2022 00:41

I've never stopped wearing them- I love them. But they have been tough to find over the years. I hope they come back and get more popular like they used to be.

mnnewbie111 · 06/05/2022 05:39

Yes got a few on the ahi. Soooo flattering so short people with new mum bum and hips and little waist

Mycatsgoldtooth · 06/05/2022 06:11

Yup. Getting lots of compliments on them. Didn’t realise I was too old.

lateSeptember1964 · 06/05/2022 06:53

I bought the Fat Face Elise and fly flared. Love them and at 57 never considered my age

AceofPentacles · 06/05/2022 07:06

Yes bought a pair of massive flares last year, they make me feel like Farah Fawcett 😂

Notarealmum · 06/05/2022 07:06

Are you all wearing full length or cropped?

LeeMiller · 06/05/2022 07:06

Flares and cropped flares. I’m petite and an inverted triangle and they balance me out and lengthen the legs, really flattering and I’ve been getting lots of compliments. I’m 40.
Mine are from Rouje and & Other Stories.

letsgetbackto2019 · 06/05/2022 07:09

Yes yes yes, I'm 40. I have never loved anything else and so happy to find them again everywhere. I am stocking up for the next cycle of the awful skinnies!
