Musicians pulled out all fashion stops while attending the Grammy Awards this year and men had their moment in natty suits. One key trend that stood out on the red carpet was the bell-bottom pants. From American singer Sombr dazzling in his lace top and sequined suit from Valentino, to Benson Boone striking a pose in his velvet Giorgio Armani suit, the bell-bottoms were everywhere. The other stars who were spotted sporting bell-bottoms on the red carpet were Pharrell Williams and John Legend. These trousers have truly become a symbol of fashion's cyclical brilliance.
While the bell-bottoms have been popping up in the fashion scene for a while now, the Grammys seem to have put a stylish stamp on this '60s trend.
Bell-bottoms became a fashion symbol in the '60s and '70s, embraced by the hippie movement and anti-establishment youth culture. Designers and mainstream brands adopted them, turning the silhouette into a global trend for both men and women.
"What truly sets the resurgence apart is its inclusivity. Bell bottoms flatter a wide range of body types, balancing proportions and creating an illusion of height. In an era where fashion is shifting toward comfort, fluidity, and individuality, the flare offers all three without sacrificing drama," opines designer Pawan Sachdeva.
Celebrity stylist Isha Bhansali shares that styling bell-bottom pants can be tricky and men might make a faux pas they don't follow the styling guide. "Your tailored bell-bottom pants look flattering with formal shoes. Make sure they are well heeled as the flared pants look more flattering while you strut your stuff," she suggests.
It's time for men to invest in bell-bottoms and also incorporate them in your wedding wardrobe, by pairing your bandhgalas and achkans with them.
