70s Starlets to Inspire Your Bell Bottom Revival

The psychedelic days of disco and dance halls gifted us with some of fashion’s most notorious icons. Long before Gaga, Minaj and Beyonce, were the sartorial leaders of the 70s: Keaton, Jett and Birkin.

Each known for their individual and equally far-out style, these women romped around in the signature denim of the decade: bell bottoms. With the flared pandemonium on the rise, which of these style icons will inspire your bell bottom revival?

If you see turtlenecks, pantsuits and loafers as the epitome of 70s style, then let Keaton be your guiding light. Update her borrowed-from-the-boys look with a pair of flares and a blazer. Keep with the retro vibe and complete the look with a pair of flatform loafers and a blouse.

For an iconic style with serious attitude, look to the rock n’ roll demi-god herself, Joan Jett. Known for her black hair and signature eyeliner her look was more glam than boho. To channel this hard-rocking woman wear a slender flare in a dark denim wash, paired with a snakeskin bootie. Pull on a shrunken tee and leather jacket and you will be ready to put another dime in the juke box and rock the night away.

Jane Birkin was the 70s poster child for care-free natural beauty. With large, doe eyes framed by tousled brown bangs and stick straight hair, she was a bohemian beauty.

Are you elegantly androgynous like Keaton, gothic-glam like Jett or a natural beauty like Birkin? Whomever you admire, channel their 70s era sartorial sense with a bell bottom.
