Bellbottoms & Flare Denim Jeans: Hottest Trends For 2011

Increasingly over the past few years, the question many would ask just before the launch of the latest collections of denim jeans by the leading designers and brands has been whether the skinny style trend would remain in fashion. It was no different this year and seemingly, neither was the answer.
However, although the skinny denim jeans and associated styles such as bootcut, jeggings and others remain fashionable, the hottest trend for this year as was evident in the denim jeans showcased in the spring-summer collections released by the designers and brands that are the leaders of fashion.
While bootcut denim jeans are figure hugging until they reach your calves or ankles, at which point they begin to flare so as to accommodate a shoe or boot (hence the name), flare jeans and bellbottoms are loose throughout. Unlike the wide leg baggy jeans style that became a popular trend a few years ago, that tended to be about as stylish as a sack, the flare and bellbottoms trend this year promotes a sleek and elegant look.
The flare style for denim jeans is a must have for men and women aspiring to look fashionable this year with different interpretations for each gender. For the mens version, the flare style is narrow around the thigh and waist and slightly wider than a regular pair of bootcut denim jeans. The hem's need not be as exaggerated as bellbottoms in the '70s but the flare should be overtly obvious.
The women's version of the flare style is slightly different, the jeans should be loose around the knee and flare out into hems that should be wider than your feet. The flare style for women works well with high waisted cuts and this is also very much in line with the '70s silhouette trend. However, you ca n always get a pair of low rise denim jeans if you wish to go for a more modern interpretation of this style.
