It's no secret that everyone's favourite dream-filled era, the 70s, is having a resurgence. We've seen the period's popularity rise significantly in pop-culture throughout the last year, with references to its characteristics in fashion, beauty, interiors, film and of course, Tik Tok. Naturally, it's no surprise then, that one of the 70s defining fashion staples – flares – have made a comeback in 2020; and of course, we are all about it.

Renowned Australian designer, Kym Ellery, was ahead of the curve when she released her now instantly recognisable black flared trousers – a piece that became a much-loved item in the wardrobes of trendsetters, creatives and models the world over. Most recently, the floor-sweeping silhouette made waves on the runways and pavements of Paris Fashion Week spring/summer 2021; the vintage style receiving a nostalgic, but nonetheless modern, rendition on the classic denim bootcut and bell-bottom trousers. Breathing new life into the iconic pant, fashion houses Victoria Beckham, Balmain and Charlotte Knowles experimented with eccentric colours, textures and prints; creating perfect synergy between the pant's traditional features and modern styling.

To help you adopt the trend as a piece you can wear all year round, we've rounded up our favourite '70s-inspired-flares to add to your wardrobe now.
