The fact that fashion is cyclical will no longer surprise anyone. Bell-bottom pants seemed to remain forever in the disco era, but recent trends have revived this wardrobe item. Wearing them, however, is not so easy. Today's story will be about how to wear such clothes correctly in order to follow fashion and not look ridiculous.
What are they?
According to the shape of the trousers, flared pants are divided into two types:
- Knee flare. The upper part fits the leg quite tightly.
- With extension from the hip point. This model needs to be worn especially carefully, as it makes you look fatter than the previous one.
As for the waistline, it can be a regular fit, low or high. The first option is the most classic, suitable for almost all girls. The second one can highlight the figure in bad light, so you should choose it carefully. Well, the third one creates the effect of longer legs, which is often a plus.Depending on the material used, flared pants are divided into:
- Classic - most often they are sewn from suit fabrics.
- In the hippie style - from bright monochromatic fabrics or those that have a different pattern, often floral.
- Jeans – this option is most common, as it is versatile, comfortable to wear and can be combined with a wide variety of things from your wardrobe.
- Made from light, airy and flowing fabrics - a summer model, often extended from the hip.
What to wear them with?
In this matter, everything depends, of course, on many factors. For example, where and how this clothing is worn or what material it is made of. The latest fashion trends dictate the following combinations:
- With a white blouse, classic or original cut. This option is suitable not only for regular trousers, but even for jeans. If the dress code in the office is not too strict, this combination can be worn to work.
- A turtleneck can also make a worthy tandem. However, this piece of clothing highlights the figure very clearly and is suitable only for self-confident fashionistas.
- Any jackets and vests, regardless of their length. They best complement jeans and classic bell-bottoms.
- If the model is winter, a medium-length coat to the knee will go well with it. They can be of a classic silhouette with a fur trim or be lightly oversized. The most appropriate shoes are high-heeled boots, pumps or elegant flat boots.
- If you want to keep a sporty look, you will have to use windbreakers, medium-sized puffers or quilted sleeveless vests. Sneakers or classic low shoes with sports soles will suit this ensemble.
Pay attention to your feet
Pants with an unusual cut are often demanding on footwear. For example, if your height is not too tall and your figure does not have a pronounced elegance, it is better to wear higher heels or wedges. This will give the image an elongated look, visually stretching the legs. If your external characteristics or self-love allow it, you can wear bell-bottoms and absolutely flat soles with your trousers. In this case, its shape will no longer play a special role.
However, it is important to consider the length of your pants when choosing shoes. If they are tailored with a heel, then with regular shoes or boots the bottom will “sweep” the floor. But in the opposite direction everything is not so tough. In any case, you need to carefully select shoes to wear with flares. Taking into account all these features, you can create an attractive modern image in retro style.
