holy flare

Who'd have thunk it?  It's been almost 40 years since John Travolta donned the famous flared trouser in the 1977 hit Saturday Night Fever and Slade ditched the drain-pipes for some less calf-restricting bell bottoms.

So here I am in the glorious 2015, wondering what ignited my unforeseen lust for some of those terrifically trendy trousers.  Vintage vibes have been unavoidable over the past few weeks, with plenty of designers showcasing 1970s inspired collections throughout the Fashion Weeks; Celine, Gucci and House of Holland are just a small number of fashion houses who are looking towards the past to gain inspiration for the future, with flared trousers taking centre stage.
