Bootcuts are making a comeback, actually. Two years now - mentioned&nbsp;in my seasonal trend reports.&nbsp;</p> <p>Heels look best with bootcuts - and a reason I personally don't wear them as often as I'd like to. Plus they get so soggy in our weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you have 24 pairs stashed away in a holding zone?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-bottoms#post-1427426 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 12:53:58 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1427426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh geez did I call them bell bottoms lol? &nbsp;I meant bootcut. &nbsp;I guess I'm not seeing any boot cut pants out there on the streets (of NYC) anymore. &nbsp;Everyone is wearing skinny and straight pants and those cute slouchy pants - which I can't wear because I'm a pear shape!</p> <p>So I think I'll hang on to them for a bit, maybe even wear a few as a tester. &nbsp;When I used to wear them a few years ago I wore them with a heel. &nbsp;Is that what we're still doing these days?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-bottoms#post-1427399 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:51:53 +0000 Dimity 1427399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a fun shape.&nbsp;Even if you don't want them all as bell bottoms, some might make good cut offs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-bottoms#post-1427392 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 10:00:58 +0000 Brooklyn 1427392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep them.

If you love them, keep them! Would you be willing to take a pair or 2 to a tailor and see if you can adjust them to either a boot cut or straight leg? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-bottoms#post-1427278 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:51:18 +0000 columbine(erin) 1427278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they look great on you, perhaps try wearing updated tops and footwear with them and see what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bell-bottoms#post-1427276 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 01:48:43 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1427276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a massive updating in my closet today and found no less than 2 dozen pairs of bell bottoms! I'm donating a few to the Salvation Army but there are some that still fit nicely and were rather expensive jeans, what should I do with them? Are bell bottoms even acceptable gear nowadays? Should I hold on to them in case they come back instyle? </p>
