Hi Misha,

The bell bottom is one of the most iconic trousers styles out there. From the ’70s to the ’90s, they were a fashion staple. But, how can you use them in a chic look today? Here are 5 ways to style them:

5 Ways to Style Bell Bottoms:

Try these outfit ideas for rocking your flared jeans:

1. Keep it classic with a T-shirt: A crisp white tee goes well with flared pants, and if you want to make it a bit edgier for going out at night, you can throw on a leather jacket.

2. Go for all-denim: You can easily create a cool, all-denim look by pairing a black tee with a denim jacket and flared jeans.

3. Get smart casual with a blazer: Adding a blazer to your button-up shirts makes for a casual office look.

4. Create a summer outfit: Pair them with a crop top, beach hat, and sunglasses for an effortless look.

5. Cozy up with a cardigan: Whether you’re going outside in the fall or staying inside in the winter, a cardigan or turtleneck is the perfect piece of clothing to wear with flare jeans.

In terms of accessories, keep it simple since it will make you look better. Just enough detail will be added to the outfit with a statement belt or a pair of bold earrings.

A pair of bell bottoms will add a bit of flare and drama to any outfit. Styled correctly, they can look modern and contemporary. Isn’t it worth a shot?

Love,

Petrica!
