9 Bell-Bottom Outfits to Wear at Any Occasion
If we said we loved every ’70s-inspired trend that’s made its way into 2018, we’d be making a major understatement. From the earthy hues and Western-themed silhouettes to flowing bohemian styles, there’s a reason this particular decade has had staying power that rivals no other—and with the bell-bottom outfits we’ve seen everywhere from runways to Instagram, the era has become more relevant than ever.
We may have thought the flared style had come and gone the first time around, but some of our favorite fashion girls have been sporting the retro trend, giving it a fresh new take for the season. There’s no time like summer to channel the good vibes of the ’70s, so why not let these pants be your seasonal pick?
