Bell bottoms have a way of making an outfit look intentional. The trick is balance: the flare brings the drama, so everything else can stay simple. Here are seven ways to wear yours all year.

1. The classic bodysuit

A fitted bodysuit with high-rise bell bottoms gives you a long, clean line and no bunching at the waist. It's the easiest outfit on this list.

2. Vintage tee and a statement belt

Tuck in a soft graphic tee and add a wide belt. Casual, a little rock and roll, and ready for weekends.

3. Denim on denim

Pair a denim jacket with matching or contrasting bell bottoms. Keep the washes different enough that it looks deliberate. Browse our denim jackets and vests.

4. Knit and platform boots (fall)

A chunky sweater on top and a platform boot below. The boot lifts the hem so the flare swings properly.

5. Faux fur or suede layer (winter)

Bell bottoms hold up well under a statement coat. Go for texture on top and let the jeans stay the quiet part.

6. Cropped top and sandals (summer)

Light, breezy and festival ready. Add a pair of retro sunglasses and a gold necklace. See our adornments.

7. Blazer for the office or dinner

A fitted blazer over a simple top turns bell bottoms into something dressier. Choose a darker wash for evenings.

A quick fit tip

Bell bottoms look best when the hem skims the floor in the shoes you'll wear most. If yours are a touch long or short, tailoring makes a big difference.
