If you thought the trend for 70s clothing clothing is passé, think again. Bowing to pressure from indie band style leaders, classic trouser brand Farah is to reprise the skinny-legged slacks that were a school yard staple in the 1970s.

Bands such as Franz Ferdinand are hankering after the original trousers that had to make do with the more recent 020 and 504 styles. Now the real deal is to return. New sub brand Farah Slacks and Leisurewear will offer 16 styles in grey, navy and brown - with whispers of louder colours on the horizon.
