French sailors were the first to wear trousers with flared legs. The unusual cut was to their advantage, since rolling up wide pants while washing the deck is much easier than narrow ones. After this, the interesting style passed into everyday life, periodically either returning to the ranks of fashionable things or falling out of trends. Having experienced the peak of popularity in the 70s and 90s, today flares are again on top and are considered one of the main “must-haves” of 2019.
Types of women's flared trousers
Girls who definitely want to be among the most notorious fashionistas should definitely pay attention to flared trousers, especially since the number of their variations can satisfy any needs. Current trousers with an unusual cut of the legs include the following models:
- High waisted. You can kill two birds with one stone by combining two trends in one look - high waist and bell-bottoms - with formal trousers with a high waist and flared legs.This model is perfect for both a strict office style and for spending time in your free time.
- "From the hip." The flare from the hip is considered the widest. Palazzo pants with a loose fit hide “everything that is not needed” and emphasize the advantages of any female figure. In pants of this style, made from light and weightless fabrics, you can walk in the summer without feeling any discomfort.
- "From the knee." Knee flares can most often be found on jeans. Elegant and feminine, they complement any look well and are considered a universal part of a woman's wardrobe. The list of the most fashionable jeans of 2019 includes just such models.
- With an unnoticeable extension. Those for whom bells from the hip or even from the knee seem too unusual should start getting acquainted with the trend with trousers, where the legs only slightly widen downwards.
- "To the floor." One of the most extravagant, but no less fashionable types of popular trousers, are flared models that are long to the floor. At the same time, even the longest heel should completely disappear under such a trouser leg.
Interesting! Jumpsuits with legs flared from the hip or knee look very interesting and at the same time unusual. You should definitely pay attention to them and buy a couple: one for work, the other for going out. Moreover, overalls are also a trend.
Who suits flared trousers?
Fashion is a rather capricious and fickle young lady and she does not always succeed in pleasing everyone. However, with the return to the former popularity of flared trousers, she was right, as they suit almost everyone. Only girls whose height is less than 160 cm should choose fashionable jeans that flare out at the bottom with caution.Stylists advise such petite young ladies to choose models with an unnoticeable extension and a high waist, as they visually lengthen their legs. A high heel will also help to lengthen your legs, which in combination with wide legs looks simply incomparable.
For girls who do not suffer from lack of height, choosing bell-bottom trousers will not be a difficult task. The only thing you need to remember is this:
- flaring from the middle of the thigh will help hide the excess fullness of this part of the body;
- an extension from the top of the trouser leg, which can resemble a skirt, suitable for any type of figure;
- High-waisted trousers can hide imperfections in the abdomen and back;
- a sharp expansion from the knee downwards is suitable for women who have ideal body parameters.
Important! The bottom with jeans, with a sharp expansion from the knee, creating an ideal proportion between them, perfectly helps to balance the top, which is heavy due to a too full bust.
What to wear with bell-bottoms
The key to a successful and correct image according to all fashionable canons is the choice of shoes and clothes that are in harmony with each other. Flared trousers can become the basis for any style - youth, casual and even business, the main thing is to know what clothes and shoes to choose for them.
Selecting the “top”
A shirt or blouse or translucent fabric will help you create a successful business look with bell-bottomed trousers made of thick fabric. Over them you can wear a jacket or a fitted jacket that reaches mid-thigh. You should have 2-3 shirts in stock that can dilute the severity of trousers purchased specifically for the office dress code.
For romantic dates in a cafe or cinema, you can choose trousers made from beautiful shiny fabrics such as satin or silk. It is best to combine them with elegant T-shirts and tops.Don’t be afraid to experiment with cutouts and décolletés; bold T-shirts and tops with bare shoulders or a bare back will go perfectly with this style of trousers. Don't forget about textures. Blouses and blouses made of openwork lace will look good with smooth, tight trousers made of satin or silk.
Owners of a flat, pumped-up stomach can afford to wear short T-shirts and tops along with flares from the hip. Jennifer Lopez's style is more relevant than ever this season. You can dress this way both for walks with friends and for going to the movies or nightclubs.
For the cold season, you can wear both turtlenecks with a high collar and oversized chunky knits under flared jeans. A mid-thigh length coat or trench coat with a long scarf casually thrown over the shoulders will complement the look.
Choosing shoes
Girls who cannot imagine their life without heels will like fashionable bell-bottoms because the shoes that go with them should be either wedges or heels. It is best if the length of the trouser leg reaches the middle or completely covers the heel.
Jeans and trousers that visually lengthen your legs look great with even the widest heels and narrow stiletto heels. Boots with a high hoof-like platform, which are also experiencing a second youth in 2019, also go well with these pants.
Important! Low-heeled shoes in tandem with flared trousers will visually increase the volume of the body and add extra centimeters where it is not needed.
A few words should be said about color. For spring and summer 2019, you can purchase pants in traditional pastel shades - nude, beige, peach or lavender.For colder autumn and winter, blue, black and warm orange models are perfect.
