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.

With summer now in full swing, it’s the perfect time to try out those daring, whimsical pieces that are much more difficult to put to use during the colder months of the year. Luckily, this season, some of the most popular brands are leaning more toward statement-making items rather than minimalism. One trend in particular that is hard to miss is animal-themed prints. This lighthearted look is perfect to be paired with classic pieces and basics, or even another print to heighten the trend. Check out Zara’s Printed Top with Bow Sleeves, complete with strategically-placed bird detailing, making it easy to pair with the denim already in your closet. Similarly, Reformation’s Sparrow Dress is great for more formal occasions, while still maintaining a sense of amusement. For accessories, the Furla Metropolis Mini Cross Body Bag and the Alexander McQueen Printed Silk Scarf are finished with leopard and butterfly detailing in a apt vibrantly-hued color palette. Try pairing these with a neutral-shaded sundress or denim for everyday versatility.
