Urban Distress Flare

Flared denim has wandered back onto the style radar, but the Urban Distress Flare has a delicious air of nostalgia about it. And nobody’s grandad is rocking these numbers. Not unless he wears a metallic-buttoned waist, flared full-length, five-pocketed design that’s supposed to be distressed - not accidentally worn out by poor old Mr Craddock from number 42. This pair says effort while looking effortless in high-rise, vintage-wash non-stretch denim that's spiced up by rips and abrasions at all the right spots. Immaculate attention to detail - and a bit of raw indifference - is evident in the prominent knee rips, thigh and back pocket abrasions, and a touch of cheeky frayed hem that gives a new meaning to ‘lived-in’. Whether you’re into bell-bottoms or skinny flares (is there such a thing? Surely not), the Urban Distress Flare accentuates all body types without discrimination. The classic vertical seams on the crotch are like public transport buses running on time - effective yet rare. Silver hardware and matching light blue stitches cinch the deal for an outfit that can be styled up or down, depending on how much you want people to notice your envy-inducing pants.
