Dare to Flare

The new season is a upon us and we’re so excited to see that flares are making a comeback, pear shaped girls can I get a hallelujah?!

Well, here are our favourite flared looks as well as the best flared high street finds. We’re just too good to you.

THIRTY YEARS APART

January is nearly over and what a month it has been! Failing new years resolutions and crazy dieting aside, we are keen to get back on track to all things beauty, fashion and lifestyle! Helping us do so is SHU Style reader, Mabel Wattam who helps us round off January with a bang. Mabel's article is celebrating the January birthday's of ultimate Brit fashion icon and SHU Style girl crush, Kate Moss and French 'it' girl Francoise Hardy.

We are sold! Who said 41 and 71 had to be boring?
