Bell Bottoms Are Back! Can you believe it?

Did you think the sailor-style of high-waisted and bell-bottomed (or flare-leg) pant would ever come back?  It was big fashion around 1968-1978.  Way before the pencil-style (aka skinny leg) became the current fashion rage.  You only saw people wearing the bell-style as a brief comeback in the late 90's as a reflection of That 70's Show on television. followed by an occasional appearance as a "hippie" party costume.  Now, over 4 decades later we are seeing celebrities wearing the bell style pant leg as everyday wear.  As before, the smaller bells are more popular in jeans,  The bigger flare (formerly known as elephant bells - which lead to the 70's trend of elephant-leg lounge pants that flared down from the hip) seems to be reserved for dressier styles and lady country singers.

All sorts of pant styles are making a resurgence in fashion.  However, the lycra-infused skinny leg is still very popular!  Women still want to look thinner and be comfortable at the same time, which this time-tested style still provides.  So the skinny-leg and jeggings may stick around a while longer.
