I can't believe how I used to love these type of pants. I can't imagine myself wearing them now and it's only been a couple of years :D Nice photos, though. :)
Nice!!! I didn't trash my flare yet.
I just acquired a pair of these! <3
Love the look.
Those are a bit on the extreme of flared pants but they keep coming back in some shape or form every year. Flare is here to stay for women I think.

to be honest, I really dislike them. The silhouette looks disproportionate in a bad way to me...
the contrast in the first image is amazing...beautiful composition!! xx meenal
There are trillion reason why I love flared wide leg jeans! 1 being they are super flyyy!!! Owned a pair from H&M and I can't seem to get enough wear out of them. I need a few more, so I think it's time to hit up another brand.

I LOVE that flared legs are back! I think they are so flattering on women. It is a nice departure from skinny jeans.
Love those flared pants!
That does it. I'm dropping the hems on an old pair of flares and bringing them back into the rotation!
Does anyone remember hip hugger Landlubbers? They were THE bellbottoms in the late 60s early 70s. I used to go to a store on Lexington Ave and they had them in every type of material including the denim of course. And this was before stone washing, so they were just the dark denim. They were unisex and the legs had to be so long that they dragged on the ground and the fabric at the hem frayed. I wore them with my platform Bare Traps sandals, my Olafdaughters clogs, and my Fred Braun all leather shoes. The Fred Brauns were the Doc Martens of the 60s and early 70s. I loved that look then, it was incredibly cool. But I don't think I will be revisiting it again! I will stick to my Levis 501s and my Acne skinny ones.
Love it!
I own a pair of men's flare jeans. I absolutely love them!
so cool!
love the silhouette they make mixed with more fitted garments. casual and wearable! =]

Love love looooove the jacket in the first picture and the jeans in the second photo!
Of course! Just when I finally catch on to (and fall in love with) skinny jeans!

Wooowwwww....GREAT.. ! ! !
Time to use the ones l got in Barcelona again.
Totally love them....
well, hell's bells!
I want some of those, but it super light blue denim. only to confuse those that might like them.
also, because i might look like gumby.
All I can say is-thank the fashion gods the flare is in... or still in... or back- ?? As much as I love-love jeggings (I mostly wear them when I'm wearing boots) the flare is what balances out my hips!
Great pics and I love those jeans, I just wish they'd make them especially for those with hips, it's hard finding a good pair that doesn't sit half off the bum if you have hips.
While these girls all look great there's something moderately alarming about the way flares conceal people's feet. To me, they make the wearer look like either a) a ghost or b) a spaceman.

Yea! I love flares - glad they're coming back in style. They're just so flattering to the leg line.
the coats are so perfect !
Bought flares early this year from "Closed", an adorable german label and I love those jeans!
Wow! I've gotta get me some flares now...
LOVE LOVE LOVE flared jeans. I'm been wearing wide legs for a while so I guess I should be happy they're in style' now.
love this post! reminds me of a Sartorialist post from Thursday, Sept 9 2010 "what's more important, fashion or style" - even though I feel like skinny jeans are all the rage, I just don't look or feel as great in them as I do wide-leg or, particularly, flares. LOVE to see them here in this post, lookin' so good :0) - love the ones in the last picture with the top tucked in! thank you!
Hmm... Not so soon, I daresay.
I think the hem on the 2nd image is perfect. It hides the top of the foot but still allows a portion of the shoe to show. You might say that means flares should only be worn with platforms.
A hem that's too long on a flare makes me feel like an elephant!
@Janna - Try high waisted flares. Gorgeous!
Honestly I could care less about the flare, but is that the Burberry Aviator jacket in the 1st pic? God, that's a beautiful piece.
http://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
I'm so warming to them, but oh, you do need long legs...
Great pictures, flares is my favourite trend this season it suits every body shapes and it comes in every color range i love it!!!
http://insidekatouscloset.blogspot.com/
Somehow I am starting to like the flare look again.
Is there a difference between bellbottoms and flares, they sort of look the same.
@ susanna
thank you for the story of the new york -60 and -70 brands. I love to hear stories like that - it's the part of history that most often disappears after just a few generations.
I like the flares on tall, skinny women like these. unfortunately it's not easy for most of us to achieve such a dignified and beautiful silhouette wearing flares, even with platforms. But I think the photo on the top shows a perfect example of the 2011 style, both skinny tights disappearing into high-heeled boots or the more deconstructed but still feminine and elegant look. This photo could enter history!

Anyone knows which designer bag this is??
The grey one in the second picture <3
Thanks !
Helena
Long live the flare! They are fabulous and flattering on most women.
Super la première photo ! J'adore l'opposition des deux looks : jean slim ou flare alors ?
Pour les Sisters, sera flare...
@helena, it is hermes.
can anyone tell me who makes the glorious pea coat on the woman in the first photo?
I think I've worn flares every now and then for the past 5? years. They're a bit of a staple, and I love them - glad I'm not the only one.
So they are really back?! I had them when I was 5, 10 years, I think that's enough for me. :) But I love them in your pics!
/helena
love this 70's jeans!
Now I feel even better, and a little proud, that I was wearing my favourite jeans today - my flare denim from ASOS.
The photos are amazing!

I knew theyre coming back!

amaezingfashion.blogspot.com
one thing about trends...they always come back into vogue. Gotta love bell bottoms, but I don't look right in them lol
Yay! Death to the skinny jean!
Oh no! Pls beware of flare... I sooo do not miss them :-) Sincerley hope they will not come back but I guess they probably will in some form...
Lovely shoots, as always!
I need me a pair of these!
http://myialife.blogspot.com
can't believe its coming back?
Honestly I dont like them at all.
so happy they're back in style!!!
Elephant pants, 70's nostalgia!
I'v allways loved flare and have few pairs already, though have to confess, my skinnies still keep creeping back to my closet :S. Great photos!
http://kairikuuskmann.blogspot.com/
oh no... not again!
Great photo. Italy as a background does give an extra elegance to the clothes. Hope I was there.
http://www.sandals4us.com
That's why I never wear jeans, they keep changing from skinny to elephant... It works for many people, but for me just too quick.
They don't work for London: impossible to wear in the rain, yuk!
update to anyone that cares: the woman's peacoat is men's balmain. (my boyfriend tracked this down for me, believe it or not).

now i must save 1700 euro....check back in 5 years. sigh...
love the flare......
I like this!
Pantalones pata de elefante, asi les llaman en Perú!! :)
i don't like pants that hide shoes, but i think flares look great on tall women. I'm no good with flared jeans, but I may look into the trend again.
I love the look, but if you look closely at the second photo you can see how they're getting wet. All the wide leg pants I've worn in Oregon have had the same problem. The more they swing, the wetter they get. The long length that covers the shoes reminds me of high school in the '70's. All the petite girls could achieve that look with their platform shoes. I was sadly tall and I'm sure my pants came to my ankles. I was very jealous of that shoe covered look.
@beth, YES. tall girl here and i always coveted the hidden shoe look. still do, no matter how many disparaging comments i hear about it. ;)
Love how modern fashion encompasses many different looks...skinny jeans AND now the flares are here to stay for a while too. Nice dark blue J Brand flares in the bottom photo...my favorite fit!
I'm excited to see more flare pants this season.
My Heart Blogged
they're back..... wonder if they will be merely a phase or if they are back for good as were skinny jeans.... love it though!
http://wordbyjessie.com
you know what? emmauelle alt is hot. she's gonna pull this off...
FINALLY! My everyday pants are on trend again! I wouldn't leave my skinnies though. And someone already brought up the edges getting dirty. That's a problem
Eh. I fell in love with skinny jeans circa 2005 and have only rarely broken out denim with other silhouettes since then. Plus, in the first photo, I honestly think the look on the left is cooler than the one on the right!
I've noticed that the fashion industry is trying to bring back the wide leg (since it fits with the 70's theme that's been returning), but people should stick to what they look best in. NOW, if you have very large thighs, or if you're very petite, maybe you should opt for a pant with a wider leg.
Big fan of flares. And I love the lady's feather jacket in the 2nd photo!
jennysicatimage.blogspot.com
j´adore the feminine mermaid silhouette they give to all girls (of any age...!), they're so glamorous!!!!!, and cool
isn't that Jennifer Connelly in the top pic?
I agree with P8 since last year, the fashion industry has been pushing the wide leg jean and the whole 70s thing, and it's fine. But fashion is also free, and we have to wear what we like and look good in.
That being said, does anyone know if the last jeans are Seven?
thanks!
J'ADORE
I love the contrast in the first photo, and they all pull it off so well!
Always amazed with your photos. Thank you for continuing to keep inspired daily!
http://omcvintage.blogspot.com/
Ah flares. My favorite.
1st - The contrast of skinny and flare is in perfect balance. They are both worn so well.
2nd - Is that flare with a cuff in the second shot? Love it. The pop of the pink against her grey bag is nice.
3rd - The puff of blouse sticking out of the crisp jeans is such a nice feminine touch.
I love flair pants!
http://slackandlack.blogspot.com
The pendulum swings again. Notice the very high shoes that must accompany them.
J'adore le Flare!
cool jeans, wow! <3
www.abitoffashion.com
like the pictures, the 2nd: a great look! BUT: the woman on the 1st pic: I like most! SO nice!
wide wide legs !!!! Nice !!!

The return of one of the all-time least elegant silhouettes: it's fine for the supermodels among us but I very much doubt that it fits 98% of mankind.
There is nothing wrong with wide legs per se but flares are tricky for two reasons: only the very long-legged can really pull it; where the flare starts has to be right & this is very difficult to get from a ready-to-wear department.
http://davidikus.blogspot.com/
Not a fan. Flares are tolerable in a hippie-style outfit, otherwise no for me.
This silhouette is much more architectural than the flares from the past. Beautiful line, not the frumpy 70's demin.
Yes, Susanna, I do remember those brands from the sixties. I'm in the sixties now but for a different reason. I loved my bellbottoms, though on my petite 5' 2" frame they probably didn't look particularly good. But those were times when the wider, the better, and clothing was an almost political statement and you wore them proudly no matter what your body type. Now that I can look at them with a less impassioned eye, the look is less appealing to me. But if younger folks want to give them a try, let them enjoy them.
For some reason, I'm glad to see the comments about rain and flares. I love the look as it can be very elegant in a funky way, but I find I wore mine less and less when I moved to Ireland. I plot to wear them on sunny potentially rainless days (rare); somehow I never entirely was conscious why!
Yes, they are seriously non-rain options; skinny jeans are more practical in that sense, though I do prefer the flare. It's a bit of attitude where you least expect it.
Ditto--loved the historical overview of 70s fashion and brands. Wish there were more of that!
I strongly believe in Flare...
Emanuel Alt docet...always!

they're totally back with a vengeance.

I notice that many of these photos are taken in areas with beautiful cobblestone and brick sidewalks. How do these beautiful ladies walk in platforms and high heels? I live in an area with similar sidewalks and streets. Women ALWAYS wear flat shoes outdoors. To do otherwise is to risk a turned ankle or worse.
beautiful pics--i love the coats in every one, especially the amazing brown coat in the first picture. But FLARES? please let this be a fleeting trend...fleeting enough that it passes right by me...
I love flare! I truly hate when everyone is wearing skinny and the jean companies make it hard for me to find a good pair of flares. I love the last picture the most. Thank you!
I love the look of the flares. Has anyone had luck finding a pair for $100 USD or under? I've been on the hunt with no success!
I have always loved flares...Just wish I was tall enough for them, sigh...
These pics are really chic: I love the burberry shealring coat and the militar one....And hermes is simply hermès!
http://fashiondoesntexist.blogspot.com/
it's a very late 60's early 70's cut on these jeans..tight to the knee then flared to cover the foot.
( not good for rainy days as seen in the second photo..the hems act as wicks)
the last photo of flares is
J Brand jeans ( noticible byu the little green stripe on the waistband) it's also their telltale 'wash'
to Helena:@4:31
that gorgeous grey iconic handbag is an Hermes Birkin Bag.
Nice Peacoat flares lady.
ok I've been debating whether or not to get flares again(since the 90s) and the first photo makes me want a pair - dark ones worn with a breton top would be good for spring! thanks!
I just ripped an old pair of flares from college. I wasn't thinking about replacing them. I was going to opt for a high waist straight, after seeing these...the flare will be back. These women are so beautiful. Thanks.
Is it odd that I prefer the skinny jeans in the first photo?
to Maryanne:@10:04
Thank you so much!!
You're great!! :)
Greetings
Helena
Great Shots!
But, come on.... does it really have to be flared leg jeans again?? Still sick of wearing them!
bring back the flare!
Super great!

i love the flare - my fav. jeans are flared/high waisted. so chic, retro.
thecoffeeexperiment.com
What's with all this "are they back" / "are they not back" nonsense? If that's what you like to wear and you know you look good in it, then you need to rock that shit. Don't be a slave to what's "trendy"...just do you.
You see when it comes to jeans it should be more about the practicality not the trend. Skinnies should be for winter because they don't get wet on the hems and they work with all your boots, e.g. the second picture
And flares in spring and summer when our taste runs more bohemian in the warmer weather, and also they look great with wedges and heels, whereas skinnies not so much.
I hate when fashion gets so unaturally 'fashion concerned' and these kind of pants are an example, the ladies in the pictures make the most of them though.
Nice! You inspired me, and I'm trying to make my own blog :)

Geraldine & Emmanuelle..loveee their style!The photos are amazing, I'm into flared pants..and the birkin just LOVE
http://smallfashiondoses.blogspot.com/
My favourite were called Chemin De Fer (not sure if the spelling is correct). Was so thrilled when i saw Mackenzie Phillips (a la One Day At A Time) wearing the same pair.
Ahhh, those were the (flair) days.
PS. Last pair is J Brand.
Hurrah! They look great! I just found a fabulous pair o' flares at a local thrift store, brand new! :)
I absolutely love! So excited for this new trend!
http://jeaninereyes.blogspot.com/
I remember wearing very wide bells in 6th grade, and tripping on them as I climbed up stairs. They look good here!
I'm so excited for this trend to come back in. Granted I live in Utah so I will have to wait a couple more months for it to catch on but still, it's coming!
Loving the flare look. I was happy when it went out... but now I'm glad that it's coming back! Love the options in denim world!
I would love if you could check out my blog...

Excellent point/counterpoint in the first photo
thank god i kept my pair of jean flares (levi's) all these years and sheer coincidence that i took them out earlier this year and they are back in fashion!!!!
i honestly do not like the flared jeans look. they come back every few years, but it's just not very flattering.
See why you shouldn't wear them in wet weather?
I love that girls are wearing these falres, they look so fresh. Also with a high waist and platform shoe they are very sexy!!
I want some!
I hate flare jeans. I don't know why. I always go for the straight leg.
nice pics!
do the know that you make the pictures? :D
Love the contrast in the first pic between the skinny and the flare!
Although I feel it's too early for a comeback, the third one is gorgeous denim and has excellent fit! Does anyone know the brand? Does it have pink stitching on the belt loop?
I like to wear flares, but only with the tallest of heels. For any kitten or flats i wear my skinnies. Come to think of it, these ladies are doing that too.
I am loving the return of the flares...
It's been far too long!
Finally, I don't have to fit into the skinny jeans anymore!
Love,
Barbara

want some so bad, but still looking for the perfect pair!
http://www.informalthing.blogspot.com
The jeans on the last picture are J Brand, you can tell by the green stitching on the back of the waist band. The first two pictures could be J Brand too, possibly their Love Story style.
Excited about the bell-bottoms for Spring ! I feel like a pony in them ...
http://mouthmotions.blogspot.com/
The combination of the NAVY COAT and thr pants are amazing. Where can I get a coat like that?
These outfits are just fantastic. Not over the top or anything but they're so well crafted. Sophisticated and simple. Does anyone have any idea where that aviator jacket comes from? It's beautiful!
Last year, I travelled throughout Italy and France and never saw anything other than skinny jeans. It's nice to see flares back again as an option.
The first picture is amazing
Wow I can't believe they are back. I loved my bell bottoms in high school! I knew I should have kept them! (Well fitting into them is another story)
i love the 2nd pic. anyone know what brand they are?
I love this new trend wide legged pants are awesome. I always knew they'd make a comeback.

I believe the first Lady is wearing a Burberry Flyjacket, I love them so much! It's enough to create a style
amo essas calças !!♥
Flares make super skinny legs look even more so, and IMO that's not a good thing.
They look nice on these women but I think because they are all very thin. I like the 2nd shot best. In general I am tired of jeans. I wonder when, if ever, they will be completely out of style, irregardless of the cut?
I am so incredibly happy this style is coming back in, I was getting a little tired of straight legs. These look great!
Love the top picture of the two women with opposite extremes for the jeans. I do love the flare jeans and so glad to be getting away from skinny ones.
Are those Vigoss Jeans at the bottom???? I love them!
70s are back! Great post as ever!! http://www.torinotrendy.com
love it!!!
I love that these are back! Great blog, btw, though I'm sure everyone says that!

These flares are hot, definitely love the 2nd photo. Gorgeous yet simple! :)

I am so happy to see bells again!
those big bells are ringing mine!
I love these, so long as they aren't 70's huge, but the dark, classic cuts are lovely.
Love all three photos...BUT in the first photo, I couldn't tell who that was with Emmanuelle Alt...been trying to figure it out since you posted. Geraldine Saglio!!! They look great in this photo with the perfect contrast and compliment to one another. ♥

Un ritorno degli anni 70'! Mi piace!!! ^_^
The revival of the revival - yawn...
Hot Tamale! Time to bust out the wide legs again.

yep...gotta love bellbottoms...they are back:)
The girl in the 1st pic to the left is a young Babs Streisand. Well hello Gaw-jess! LOL
I only like either skinny jeans or wide leg jeans where the whole leg is actually wide and baggier.
Very beautiful to see the different amount of fabric used for the legs and it works, narrow or wide, and to see them next to each other.
The fashion industry has been pushing the flare for the past few years. They're going to keep pushing until every women in American buys a pair. I'm so sick of trends.
Skinny jeans are atrocious unless one is actually skinny! Viva la flare! Thrilled to see them back in again. I never stopped wearing them really, but when skinnies were everywhere I just started wearing dresses all the time!
Yes, they are back! :))) I love flares. Now I will finally enjoy wearing jeans and pants again. :)
Working this. Has always been a fan of flares. But thought against it since I thought it looked best on girls with thin long pins. But I managed to figure out getting them couple inches longer and got me some platform wedges (MORE assuring than the stilettos when walking about)...so yeap yeap...working it an thinking I would be sticking to it for a long time to come.
The first image is great.
However, the real issue to address here is that of everyone is always overlooking or not knowing about the jeans brand MiH when looking for 70's flares. I bought a pair of the Marrakesh flare in that brand from shopbop.com and I think they are amazing. The color is a nice dark even rinse that's on point, and they make your butt look SUPER and pair great with a nice button down to give it that modern look. Highly recommend those for any ladies looking for a pair of 70's flares.
I'll be drawing the ladies in image #1 in charcoal, then ink. the clothes have as much gesture as the figures!
love flares, they make legs look miles long, and love them even more w/a pointy stiletto - that way the feet don't ghost away under them
