Flares... I Need 'Em!!

I'm having soooo much trouble finding a decent pair of plain black flared trousers. Does ANYONE know where I can get some?

I have one pair (that have a huuuge hole in!) that I bought from the Oasis market in Birmingham, but cannot for the life of me find any more... Help!

P.s, I'm not into those god awful curtain type bell bottom cord jean things that 'greebo' kids walk around in. Just a smart pair of plain black flares!!

Help! Ilora x

    Dorothy Perkins sell them via their website, under 'trousers'
    > 'essentials'

    No, not bootleg. Flared. Plain flared black trousers or jeans, must be black....

    why dont you just buy some black trousers or jeans and convert them into flares? i do it loads, unpick the outside seam up to the knee and sew a long triangle of material in. simple and cheap.:D

    Thanks to those who helped...

    After 6 hours of searching Birmingham city centre, I stumbled across a pair of black flares from Diesel!

    They were reduced from £100 to £60 :D
