Flare Pants and More: Celebrities Embracing '70s Fashion This Season"

By James Craig

Many Spring/Summer runway shows gave a nod to the colorful and eclectic ’70s.

We saw many classic ’70s trends coming back, such as chic button-front A-line skirts, suede clothing, fringed bags, collared cropped jackets, and our favorite flare pants.

Flare jeans, while similar, generally have a subtler flare than bell bottoms. They are also fitted through the hips and thighs but start to flare out either just below the knee or at the knee, creating a less dramatic flare than bell bottoms.

The easiest way to stay on point this season is to add these decade-inspired pieces to your wardrobe. Start with classic flare jeans and look up to these celebrities for some styling inspiration!
