Yay or Nay?: Bell Bottoms

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday September 26, 201169 comments


Imagine my surprise/chagrin when I came upon a pair of bell bottoms for sale at Forever 21. 'Huh', I thought, 'are these "in" now or something?'. When did bell bottoms become the new 'it' item for fall? I don't remember that. Apparently, Forever 21 is not alone, I found a pair of denim bell bottoms for sale at Old Navy. It's not just denim and solids flares that are returning either, printed pants- like the floral pattern below have been spotted too!

Celebrities seem to have embraced the bell bottom denim trend. Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Richie and Katie Holmes have all been spotted sporting this style of denim.

On the one hand, a flare or trouser pant is very flattering- it accentuates all your lovely womanly curves. On the other hand however, a throwback 1960's or 70's bell bottom seems like a bit too much to me. What do you think Chicks? Is this trend a YAY or NAY?

YaY ! For sure, I think this is such a classy look, whether its jeans or slacks. It looks really nice with heels, or boots or even flats. I like it.

I say yay only if the flare isn't too exaggerated!

Have to go with NAY....not sure it's a figure flattering look.

Yay...ish. I like a slight bell but not a large bell.

Nope. I've never really liked the look of bell bottoms so I would say Nay on this "trend".
