A very cool and unusual pair of 70s flares from Colonials! While there’s little information available on this rather strangely named brand, I believe it was Australia-based. These flares have an eye-catching cut, featuring a distinctive curved high waist that sits higher at the back and lower at the front, along with a double-button fly. The standout details include contrast red stitching, patch pockets, and dramatically wide, flared legs. Versatile in style, they can be worn high on the waist or slung lower on the hips, as shown on my mannequin. Please note that the legs have been shortened by a previous owner, making them best suited for shorter gals!
Condition: Very good. Worn in and well loved! These have been rough chopped and not hemmed so they do have fraying.
Shown pinned on an approx UK size 6 mannequin in most photos, un-pinned in last 2 photos (B:34"/W:25"/H:34”)

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
