Flares --- the only trousers a hippy will ever wear. the only trousers for trendies and hippies in the '70s, but went out of style except for hippies who still wear them, and believe they will eventually come back in fashion. This is
like the Second Coming for hippies. Flares eventually got even wider and became LOONS, before disappearing from the real world.
FLARES were often converted from
normal jeans by adding pieces of
old curtains until they looked
like jeans with inverted lampshades attached.
"like
man, flares will come back one day"
"look at the 70's throwback - flared trousers, flared shirt, flared
hair and flared
head."
