Flares (trousers)

[Ihavenojob]

Are they making a comeback? I've been down to my mates near Bristol, and went shopping with SWMBO to a "mall" (Cribs Causeway) and noticed plenty of people wearing flares, some even sporting platform DMs. Have they come back into fashion or is this part of the country stuck in the 70s?

Maybe you went through a time warp at the entrance to the Mall

As a Bristolian, I'd say it's more likely they're just catching up with the original fashion for flares. Don't rely on the inhabitants of these 'ere parts for being an indication of current trends.

My kids' jeans are so voluminous lately, I reckon I could get three pairs out of a pair

Yep seen it all. My eldest lives in Worcester and he visits us wearing some eye opening rig.
My youngest is seeing a nice looking lass, that makes a decent living influencing. She wears some nice rig.
