French Women Dictate The Fashion Trend: Cropped Bell Bottoms Are The Must-Have

Parisian women have embraced the retro cut of jeans, and this season we are also adding it to our spring wardrobes.

Can we hope? Are bright, spring days finally on the horizon? After a winter that seemed eternal, gray (and cold!), surely we are all looking forward to the change of season. However, as we well know, spring can be extremely unpredictable. A series of sunny days can suddenly be interrupted by rain, and that’s exactly why jeans remain our indispensable choice for every day.

With its distinctly retro cut, this model follows the line of the leg and subtly flares from the knee, ending just above the ankle. The result? An elegant form that brings the perfect balance of sophistication and nostalgia. 

In keeping with the overall comeback of the wide leg—fueled, among other things, by the new wave of boho aesthetics spearheaded by Chloé —this chic variation seems made for spring. You can wear them with chunky clogs or Mary Jane shoes for a playful, vintage look, or combine them with pointed loafers or elegant boots for a sophisticated effect.
