The future of flares

Take away the St. Trinian’s inspired school tie whose stripes unfairly dominate this look and you have not just another example of the evolving silhouette of trousers but also a far-sighted inspiration for this next potential evolution of this women’s trend.

To date we’ve seen most of the styling of wide leg trousers have a 1970s tilt to them and rightly so: fashion is all about reinterpreting the 70s right now. This look differs, however. Wide legged the trousers may be, but their ‘Oxford bags’ cut gives them a 1920s / 1930s overtone – and that’s one of the eras that fashion is likely to reinterpret across 2012 / 2013.

This look was snapped in London by the ever eagle-eyed Wayne Tippetts.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
