The Greatest Flared Trousers Wearers of all time

Lets be honest, everyone reading this is already sold on the awesome powers of flared trousers.  But how did we come to appreciate this fine fashion statement in this way?  Well the answer my friends is thanks to a long list of alpha male flares wearers from the 1970s and beyond.  We all know it is just a matter of time before these funky fashion items once again become the trend of the day but until then we will patiently basking in the  classic distinguised history of this most amazing trouser.

So just who of the famous flare wearers do we admire most here at flaredtrousers.co.uk?

  1. John Travolta.  Yes, you probably already guessed it.  John is our number one flares wearer.  Of course we are thinking of the iconic Tony Manero white suit as featured in Saturday Night Fever.  If you don’t know what I am talking about then to be honest you aren’t cool enough to wear a pair yourself.  Go buy some dungarees.
  2. James Bond.  Not the ripped bone crunching Bond of recent years.  No.  We are of course referring to the Bond of the 70’s which can only mean, Roger Moore.  Bond was always the coolest and he has never been cooler than in a pair of flares.  Think of Moonraker, think of The Spy Who Loved Me.  Think of flares.
  3. George Best.  The oringinal football style icon.  Forget the Beckams and Ronaldos of today, this is the guy that started it and in his 1970’s peak you will find him regularly wearing a pair of wide angle bell bottomed trouser.
  4. Elvis.  The king of rock and roll.  Initially know for his slick ’50s looks but a decade later Elvis coined his trademark outfit – the flared jumpsuit.  This is now one of the most iconic outfits in pop history and will be forever associated with the King.

Now tell us who your favourite flare wearers are?
