How to wear flares
This season’s must-have trouser style takes its cue from the Seventies. It’s time to have some flare…
The flared trouser is an excellent kicking-off point for anyone looking to give fresh legs to a revolving wardrobe of chunky sweaters and low-fi tailoring. Certainly, a pair of trousers with a bit of flare – a bell bottom, if you will – are a fine choice for anyone keen to add some fashion knowledgeability to their look this autumn.
While straight-legs are the sensible choice, flares are the playful alternative. In a nod to the Seventies – think Ali McGraw in Love Story rather than John Travolta throwing shapes on the dance floor – the best new flares combine interesting textures with a great cut. A pair of leather flares will make a fine companion for your favourite double-breasted jacket, while a corduroy style will look heavenly teamed with trainers and a chunky knit.
