Thigh-flared trousers
Pants that flare from the hip can be very wide, like a long skirt, or modest in width, more classic. This model is suitable for tall women with voluminous hips. Smoothly going down, wide legs perfectly smooth out excess fullness in this area, and also hide possible leg flaws - curvature, full calves, unattractive ankles, and the like.
Flared hip trousers can be made from different materials, both thinner and denser; they can be smooth along the waistline or have small or large folds.
Pleated models of such trousers look especially impressive, which, thanks to numerous vertical folds, visually lengthen the silhouette and make the figure slimmer.
Flared trousers from the knee
This model of flared trousers differs from the previous one in that here the expansion of the legs starts from the knee, and at the hips they fit seductively. In addition, such trousers can have patch pockets, both in the front and on the buttocks. Pants that flare from the knees are only suitable for girls with a beautiful figure, since they expose the upper legs and hips, and if these parts of the body are imperfect, the figure will look extremely unattractive. Also, short girls should choose such trousers, since, with a fragile figure, they can visually make the silhouette slightly longer.
Don't know your body type? Take the free test..What to wear with women's flared trousers
Flared trousers are the epitome of femininity and elegance; they fit perfectly into any outfit. However, trousers that flare from the hip and trousers that flare from the knee go differently with the same top, so you should choose it very carefully. So, flared trousers from the hip look good with blouses, blouses, jackets, with which they make a wonderful everyday outfit for work. If you choose a light top or a T-shirt with straps as a top, you will get a set for a walk on a summer evening, for going with friends to a cafe or even to the cinema. At other times of the year, you can safely wear a thin, tight-fitting sweater with a cowl neck or a turtleneck with these trousers. To pair with flared trousers made from thick fabric, you should choose high-heeled shoes or sandals. If the trousers are made of thin material and are not intended for business meetings and official events, it is better to choose sandals or sandals with flat soles.
Pants flared from the knee are more suitable for a casual outfit, and therefore go well with a classic shirt, loose sweater, or light T-shirt. In cold weather, you can throw a warm cardigan or a long tweed jacket over this outfit. Shoes should be selected with high or medium heels.
Outerwear for loose-fitting trousers is also different. For models that flare from the hip, you should choose a long raincoat or coat, preferably the same loose cut. Shortened jackets, short fur coats, and coats are more suitable for trousers that flare from the knee.
If you are tired of banal jeans and ordinary women's trousers, then you should think about changing your look. Try flared trousers, which have recently come back into fashion. This style of women's trousers 
can be called not only very stylish, but also universal.
Bell-bottomed trousers can be low-waisted or high-waisted. Most often, such trousers do not have a fastener and are held on by an elastic waistband, although some models that do not have a very loose fit can be fastened with a zipper.
What to wear with
Bell-bottomed trousers are usually long and quite spacious from the hips. This style has come back into fashion quite recently. You can see such trousers on women everywhere - on the street, in a cafe, on the beach, in the office and even at a wedding. Everyone loves bell-bottom trousers because they are stylish, comfortable, and easy to combine with other items from your wardrobe.
You can wear these pants with anything like crop tops, tank tops, lace tops, plain shirts and so on. Bell-bottomed trousers can be worn for any occasion. But it is best to wear them in spring and summer.
This trouser style has become part of street fashion. Bell-bottomed trousers are best worn in dark colors, with multi-colored or floral or animal prints. They are best worn with simple tops.
Who to wear
It can be considered a myth that bell-bottom pants cannot be worn by short women or those with curvier figures. On the contrary, with this style of trousers 
women can hide some problems of their figure and emphasize its advantages. If you are short with round shapes, then choose pants that are not too spacious and flared from the hip.
The top you wear with these pants should fit your body well. Tall women can wear bell-bottom pants with a looser cut. But they also shouldn’t forget about the right top for these trousers. Short, fragile women should choose high-waisted trousers, as this style will visually make them taller.
How to wear
You can choose flared trousers of any color and size. These can include trousers in pastel colors, rainbow colors, muted tones and, of course, classic black and white. You can buy trousers with different prints.
To properly combine bell-bottom trousers with other items in your wardrobe, you need to decide on what occasion you are going to wear these trousers.
If you want to create a more feminine look, for example, loose-fitting flared trousers with polka dots and a draped or crisscross front top will do the trick. For a sophisticated look, pair black flared trousers with a tunic complemented by a belt.
For every day, you can choose simple bell-bottom trousers in some bright color and a plain, simple top in a contrasting color. If you're going to the beach, these pants will go great with your bikini top.
Flared hip trousers will also help create a vintage look if you choose colors such as ethnic prints, large diagonals, kaleidoscope patterns, and so on. A simple plain top goes well with these colors.
As for shoes, high heels 
Under trousers, flared hips are always a great choice. They visually lengthen your leg and make you look slimmer. But for the beach option and for every day, you can replace high-heeled shoes with strappy sandals, as well as mid-heeled or flat shoes. If you wear espadrilles with these trousers, you will get a completely nautical style.
The variety of models of women's wardrobe elements is constantly updated with new and current cut lines. Although some things return from the distant past. Women's bell-bottom trousers were especially popular in the mid-70s of the last century. In those days, it was difficult to imagine the wardrobe of a girl who did not have at least one such model. In 2017, this style is returning to store shelves - and we know why.
General trends in 2017
To give a model a flared silhouette, designers use several techniques. For trousers, flares can extend from the waistline, from the hip or from the knee. Traditionally, both 3/4 and capri leg lengths are allowed. However, this year only one length for such clothes will be relevant - “floor-length”, and the trouser leg should hide even a high heel. Only this style can be called fashionable and stylish. You should also definitely refuse all options with a low waist; a high corset belt, decorated with several rows of contrasting or matching buttons, looks much more attractive.
Among the fabrics, preference should be given to cashmere, thin drape, formal suit fabric and jacquard. This is, so to speak, clothing for all seasons. But for spring and autumn, designers have prepared a huge number of options from light flowing fabrics. It can be linen, silk, cotton, lace, guipure with chiffon lining, all types of satin and staples. 
Women's flared trousers made from thick denim never go out of fashion. Jeans like these should be in the arsenal of any fashionista. After all, in black they can go perfectly with a classic office jacket and blazer. But blue options in addition to a colorful blouse will create a magnificent romantic look for walks and dates. 
From the hip or from the knee: which one to prefer?
As mentioned above, the cut line may suggest flaring anywhere in the model. In 2017, bell-bottom pants are the most preferred option. It is worth noting that many models are combined, so to speak: the flare down from the knee is sewn separately in the form of a large wide frill, gathered in a line below the kneecap. Models with geometric prints on fabric look interesting. With this style of cutting, the result is a kind of break in the lines and an abstraction of the pattern as a whole along the trouser leg. In the photo below, bell-bottom trousers are presented in several variations, among which you can see many ideas for the coming summer and autumn: 
Women's bell-bottom trousers are respectability, chic and glamor. They are suitable for any occasion and bow. If you take the option of thick suiting fabric with a high-set belt, then in combination with a snow-white blouse it will be a wonderful ensemble for visiting the office or a business dinner.
But light models made of the finest lace are more suitable for the holiday period. Although in a stuffy hot city on summer days, they perfectly refresh the image and create a light and pleasant mood for the whole day. And if you choose linen models with lace inserts at the bottom of the legs, you will provide yourself with an excellent option for summer clothing for the hottest days. 
When choosing bell-bottom trousers, it is worth remembering the length of the legs. Under no circumstances purchase models that are clearly too short. It is better to buy longer than necessary and look a little careless than to create the wrong image of a “shot sparrow”. 
Which options to prefer, forming a wardrobe based on a retro style or creating a modern glamorous chic - any modern woman is able to answer these questions on her own, and in the meantime we move on.
Varieties for every taste, color and age
It’s worth talking about what types of this wardrobe element exist. What models are suitable for every taste and age, color and budget? Let's figure it out.
You should start with a model called full flare. It is distinguished by the fact that the expansion of the trouser leg extends evenly from the waist line, while emphasizing the hip line. Who would this style suit? First of all, slender, long-legged and young. Although ladies of Balzac's age can afford similar chic trousers in the style of Madeleine Dietrich, if I choose the maximum length and combine it with high stiletto heels. 
Extending the leg from the knee is the most popular option, which looks great in all styles without exception. This style allows women with a disproportionate figure to correctly place accents. The trousers perfectly balance the wide shoulder line, correct wide hips and successfully hide short stature. Should not be combined with a fluffy top. A tight turtleneck and a formal business vest made of fabric are the best companions for this model. In hot summer times, you can wear it with an alcoholic T-shirt, a transparent chiffon blouse or various tops. 
The hip-hugging top and high waist are more of an option for choosing jeans for every day. In this case, trouser legs flared from the knee create the impression of slight negligence, which can be smoothed out by a contrasting, formal top.
The highlight of 2017 are flared trousers with a corset that reaches the chest line. They can be complemented with wide suspenders or straps to match the main model. When combined with a classic white shirt, complemented by a lace jabot, you get a sophisticated casual look for the office. 
How, where and with what to wear a modern girl?
How and where should a modern girl wear these models, if most of the styles are made in retro style? The answer is clear - anywhere. But the question of how should be given a more complete answer, since the success and integrity of the entire image depends on this.
So, what to wear with bell-bottoms to the office, for a walk, on a trip out of town and when going to the beach? Let's listen to the advice of stylists and designers. 
Let's start traditionally with the most favorite time of the year - spring, summer and early autumn. Light flowing fabrics, bright, sometimes even variegated colors, loose fit and a lot of variations are appropriate here. In the summer, you should pay close attention to lace and guipure models - they will be at the peak of popularity due to their mystery and attractiveness.
Second in the ranking are trousers made from floral fabric. Moreover, here it is worth looking towards a large print with roses, peonies, carnations and fantastic buds. Any checkered, striped, geometric pattern is an option for a monotonous look. What does it mean? First of all, it is worth noting that for the top you should choose a T-shirt, blouse or shirt that exactly matches the pattern of the trousers. 
What else can you wear these styles with in the summer? For footwear, you can choose sandals and slippers, or for the evening - sophisticated stiletto sandals. But for the office, the boat model would be the best choice. Wide belts in boho style are suitable accessories. These are wicker models, macrame, twisted and perforated leather. 
In winter and late autumn, it can be combined with any type of thin sweaters, blazers and pullovers. The cardigan should be matched to the pants. Under warm clothes, wear a turtleneck or a classic-cut shirt. It is worth remembering the current advice of stylists and designers. In no case should you combine hoodies, fluffy shirts and blouses, or sweaters made of thick coarse knitted threads with such trousers. The only exception to this rule is a frill made of the finest lace.
Knee-flared trousers have returned to fashion again after almost 10 years of oblivion. Many flared models are relevant: from the waist, hip and knee. The latter are especially popular with girls, as they are much easier to wear than wider varieties. The widening of such trousers begins only in the knee area, and in the hip area they fit the body and focus on its advantages, while models from the hip are wider in the gluteal area.
Yellow high-waisted trousers are a good choice to pair with a white ruffled blouse:

Work clothes of people of different professions are a typical basis for fashionable borrowings. In life, it turns out that most often designers are inspired for new ideas by military uniforms. The history of world fashion has seen many such cases. A successful example of such adoption is women's flared trousers. Let's look carefully at photos from fashion shows to understand what and how to wear such clothes. We also note the main tendencies of the current trend.
Initially, trousers that flared from the upper thigh were worn by military sailors. The roomy design and side seam closures have been designed to help a person get rid of their clothes faster when in the water.
Flared trousers were a real decoration for military sailors. The fashion revolutionary Coco Chanel tried to introduce uniforms into the women's wardrobe. She was the first to set an example for women by wearing a striped vest and loose trousers.
But real success came only in the 70s of the last century. Back then, no one even wondered whether bell-bottom trousers were in fashion? It was a time of undoubted success and absolute dominance of the new trend.
The freedom-loving hippies were the first to put on stylish pants. All women, men and even children liked flared trousers. They instantly spread throughout the globe.
Modern flared trousers belong exclusively to the women's wardrobe. They bear practically no resemblance to their distant marine ancestors. Today their popularity is incomparably lower than forty years ago, but they still cannot be considered unfashionable.
Options for fashionable styles
Based on the cut line, there are two main types of clothing:
- bell-bottom trousers– smooth divergence of the trouser legs along the entire length;
- knee-length bell-bottom trousers– a tight-fitting upper with an extension from the middle of the leg.
The width of the trouser legs can range from the smallest flare to the maximum size called “sun”. The latter option is not suitable for everyday bows due to its impracticality. Its direct purpose is to create vivid stage images.
In modern models, arbitrary leg lengths are allowed. Cropped bell-bottoms can reach a limit of 3/4 or 7/8. Classic maxi styles reach to the middle of the heel, sometimes to the floor.
Who suits flared trousers?
The main advantage of the retro style is its versatility. Flared trousers suit almost any woman. The main thing is to decide on the parameters of the model in order to highlight all the worthy parts of the figure and cover up the flaws.
It's easy to hide voluminous hips under wide-bellied trousers. The model is ideal for plump women of medium and tall height. Spacious trousers can correctly distribute accents and correct a disproportionate figure.
For short girls, the optimal style is knee-length flares with arrows. Such models are able to visually stretch the legs and make the silhouette slimmer.
The tight-fitting top of the trousers draws attention to the smooth curve of the hip. For slender women, models with patch pockets located at the back and front are suitable.
If you have full knees, it is advisable to choose trousers one size larger. This way you can avoid unnecessary tightness in the problem area. Fat girls should also give up decorative elements.
What to wear with bell-bottoms?
In general, the fashion trend is characterized by a successful combination of practicality and elegance. The model, flared from the hip, looks good paired with a blouse, a fitted turtleneck, a slightly fitted jacket or a leather vest. In hot weather, a tank top, a tank top with thin straps, or a blouse made of translucent fabric will work well.
A top that hugs the hips and slightly widened legs – this is what typical flared denim trousers look like, suitable for everyday looks. A loose and tight-fitting top harmonizes well with them. For example, an oversized sweater, an A-line blouse, a short T-shirt. Shirts with checks, polka dots, small flowers, plain or with an embossed pattern look stylish.
What shoes to wear with bell-bottoms?
The presence of a heel is the main condition of the trend. In addition to the fact that an elevated foot slims the figure, it also balances proportions well and makes a woman’s gait smoother. For the office and business meetings, stiletto heeled pumps, comfortable sandals, and ankle boots with stable heels are suitable.
In case of problems with the legs, it is allowed to wear moccasins, boots or light boots with low speed or a small platform under the flared trousers.
Popular models of bell-bottom pants
Since the 70s, trousers have undergone various changes more than once. Fabrics, colors, prints, decorative elements, width and length of flares - all this is subject to endless design experiments and attempts to find a fresh solution for traditional forms.
Thus, in the collections of many fashion designers there are stylish leather trousers. Black, dark gray or blue matte surface color will be an excellent choice when putting together a business ensemble. You can decorate leather flared trousers with decorative zippers sewn into pockets, embroidery, and small rhinestones.
A very interesting model are wide trousers made of thin silky fabric that flows beautifully when moving. A shiny dark background and a soft floral print are the best clothing option for festive events. Stylists recommend buying these trousers paired with a jacket. Pants with flares from the knee, colored to resemble crocodile skin or leopard skin, look very impressive.
The real find of the season are high-waisted flared trousers. A wide belt, similar to a corset, reaching the chest line, looks especially impressive. These stylish trousers are complemented by wide removable straps or suspenders to match the outfit.
