Add Some Flare To Your Style!

Spring Is Bringing Back 70's Styled Bell Bottoms!

Although we're still in January, we can't help but get excited for the 70's-inspired trends that we'll be seeing this Spring! In addition to the stylish flower pins that are quickly gaining popularity once again, be sure to expect flared leg jeans to show up everywhere from Forever 21 to Derek Lam's Spring Collection.

70's trends have always been present in mainstream fashion- think of the Hippie-inspired floral prints, flare leg jeans, and minimal styling techniques that somehow creep up on runways each season. Although consistently present, the influence of the 70's on fashion is never quite the same. Sometimes it's so apparent that styles are practically screaming "Woodstock!", and other seasons, it's so slight that its almost invisible to the fashion-untrained eye.

This season, although not as major as full-out bell bottoms, flare-legged jeans are definitely coming back! Their arrival is undeniable, as they've already been seen on the Spring 2011 runways of Derek Lam, Celine, D & G, Elie Tahari, Dries Van Noten, Badgley Mischka, Theyskens’ Theory, and Thakoon. My advice? Get ready to grab some flared leg jeans and embrace your inner flower child!
