Work your flair for fashion with one of this season’s key trends – flares! They’ve been seen all over the catwalks and are set to be a big hit in spring and summer thanks to their leg-lengthening loveliness.

The great thing is that this trend is really easy to wear, and can take you right through from dropping the kids at school to cocktails with the girls on a Friday night. We’ve put together some looks to show you just how simple it can be to stay stylish without spending a fortune!
