The Considered Ensemble

Bell bottoms and flared pants are making a comeback for 2011.  The revival of 70s fashion is the motivation for this trend.  The modern take on the Bell bottom is to incorporate these vital elements: the hem of the pant should be at least as wide as your foot; they should not be cut slim, but loose around the knee.  And finally consider a high waist if accomplishing the complete 70s vibe; a low cut waist will be fine if going for a more modern look.
