Where to Find 70’s Style Flared Trousers

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for this certain style of pants that seemed to be popular in the 1970’s, but I can’t find them now. Think Led Zeppelin. The pants are slim fitting at the waist and thighs but after the knee they start flaring out a bit. Doesn’t seem like “bell bottoms” is exactly the right term, because when I search that on google, the flaring is extremely exaggerated at the feet to the point where it looks goofy. I will attach some pictures. Sorry for the terrible quality on some of them.

It seems like there was many different ranges of this flare out in these pants. I’m looking for more of a middle of the road flare out, maybe not full bell bottoms. Jeans are cool, but I think they made these in other materials as well…?

Does anyone know where to find quality trousers in this cut?

I'd look into Gucci. You can get the flare tapered a bit if it's too extreme for your liking

Get some Wrangler Wranchers



They're 100% polyester and not exactly high quality but they do the job and are probably a better entry point than designer stuff unless you have money to burn.

Gucci will no doubt have something that fits the bill. Flares are having a moment so many other brands also offer variations on them right now. Still, if you see flares in the wild there's a good chance they're Wranchers, that's what everyone's wearing.

Agree on the Wranchers and recommended the same to the OP in another thread. But just came across this and thought it looked pretty good, so thought I'd share. Not trousers, but maybe the OP will be interested
