Among the abundance of fashion and beauty looks experiencing a revival from the 90s and early 2000s are wide leg bottoms, and more specifically, flare and bell bottom styles. Perfect for the upcoming fall season, this leg-lengthening fit is sure to be flattering on anyone. Flare style, as opposed to bell bottoms, are less exaggerated and narrower in silhouette, making them ideal for a less bold, more casual look. To take the statement silhouette even further, many brands are offering high-low versions of the bell-bottom style. Check out Alice + Olivia’s version, featuring a high waist and ideal look for a day-to-night piece. For a bolder take on the same look, try Topshop’s Mermaid Frill Trousers.
In the denim department, staple pieces like the Citizens of Humanity Drew High Rise Crop jeans or Paige Denim’s High Rise Bell Canyon jeans will take you straight through the colder months in style.
Click through the slideshow above to see our other top picks for flare and bell bottom styles perfect for the upcoming fall season.

The Show: Alice + Olivia Fall 2013
The Theme: “Fantasy Street Style”
The Color Palette: Moss, burnt red and orange, bronze, siren red, black
The Standout Piece/Collection Motif: Heavy embellishment was found on the accessories and garments, highlighted by nostalgic backdrops from various time periods with each display telling its own story. We have the the jazz age with the layered ball gowns, or the 70s paisley prints. But if I had to choose one standout piece (which in many ways I don’t know if I can) I would probably go with an accessory — the eye-catching zebra clutch.

Alice and Olivia’s Spring 2013 collection is a flash back to 1950s Woodstock and Miami Beach. With bright primary colors and icy blues and papaya oranges, the pieces have us itching for sunshine. A major highlight of the collection was the use of colored leather, with well-tailored moto jackets and shift dresses were featured in bright yellow, vibrant orange and pastel pink leather – definitely a must-have for spring.

The denim and tea collection also made a big statement, sure to be a hit in 2013 by bringing back detailed, embroidered bell-bottom jeans and t-shirts. The brand also launched their first line of handbags for spring including everything from large gold metallic snakeskin tote bags to small clear plastic clutches.
