We have all the tips and tricks to help you look fly
Jeans are a wardrobe staple that work on everyone. They’re an absolute must-have in your closet that will never go out of style. In my opinion, nothing compares to a high waisted snug fit around the hips paired with a black long sleeve turtle neck and a silk oversized blazer. In an imperfect world, that is my perfection.
Because style is circular (trends come back every few decades or so), bell bottoms (AKA flared jeans) are a ‘70s-style jean that’s back with a vengeance. They’ll snatch your waist and show off those curves without fail. And you get them in different colors and fabrics for a fresh, new look. With the right style, bell bottoms will have you looking like the bell of the ball.
However, the bigger question is, how? Jeans can be intimidating, and bell bottoms are no exception. If you’re not sure how to make the style work on your body, you’re not alone. I’ve had my own fears when it comes to wearing bell bottoms the best way for my body type.
Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered. Read on for tips and tricks on how to slay bell bottoms, no matter your body type.
Petite and Curvy
If you’re on the shorter side but have a coke bottle body, heels are your BFF when styling your bell bottoms. They’ll hoist you up and the flared design of the jeans will make you look and feel like a supermodel.
Wear them with a black long sleeved turtle neck, off shoulder top or even a sexy corset if you’re feeling daring.
Petite and slim
To all the petite and slim women out there: you have curves to show off too! And the great thing about bell bottoms is that they’ll show off what you’re working with while giving you an extra umph. Pick a pair with a more subtle flare to compliment your legs and hips
We also want to focus on giving you some more length, so pair your jeans with a V-neck top for the appearance of a longer torso and accessorize them to your preferred aesthetic. Adding a black belt to your bell bottoms will also help define your waist line and outline your lower body.
Tall and slim
Tall women, this is your time to shine! Bell bottoms are going to celebrate your extra long stems. Just look at Zendaya! You can do no wrong while wearing these kinds of jeans.
Wear them high-waisted or low-waisted to show off those long legs, though the former will show off your tiny waist and highlight your hips. Pair it with a well-structured blazer for a sexy, office-appropriate look.
Tall and curvy
If you’re taller and curvier, it’s all about styling your bell bottom jeans to celebrate your dimensions. You want the world to see that waist, those hips, and that length, because that’s your power and your beauty.
Try bell bottoms with a fitted top or bodysuit to do just that.
