Flares were something that was popular in the 70s if I remember rightly. Usually, when you search for the 70s or you watch anything like a music video from the 70s you will find that most will be wearing flares. 

I remember flares coming back into fashion for a little while around the 90's I believe it was and I owned quite a few pairs of flares back when they became popular again. Some people nowadays even though they are not as popular now still do wear flares and it is nice to see. 

Did you ever wear flares?
