How To Wear Flares This Autumn
Knowing how to wear flares is key. Trousers distinguishable by their style of fitting as they flare out from the bottom of the calf, flares were popular during the 60’s and 70’s but are still having their moment within fashion today thanks to celeb style influencers like Gigi Hadid and Chrissy Teigen.
IMO, flares are a wardrobe essential.

From denim to corduroy, styling them isn’t that difficult either as they match with almost anything.
