Hot take: Bell-bottom jeans are one of the most versatile pant styles currently trending. Whether rip-kneed for the rocker in you, high-waisted and retro, or tailored and subtly flared, the best bell-bottom jeans might seem extra at first, but really they’re just here to help you bring out your own denim personality.

What To Look For When Shopping For Bell-Bottom Jeans

Silhouette

When it comes to bell-bottom jeans, the leg opening is the star of the show. A super-wide flare will give you that retro feel, but if you feel a little bell-shy, you can still take advantage of the trend — simply choose a more subtle flare jean. Likewise, think about the rise of your bell-bottom jeans. A high waist is another stylish detail that pairs well with crop tops for a modern-meets-retro going-out look, while a mid-rise bell-bottom is a can’t-go-wrong classic.

Wash

While denim wash is a personal preference, it also does a lot to convey a certain aesthetic. For instance, light-wash bell bottoms can harken back to the early aughts (retro is more than just the ’70s, after all), while a bell bottom in a luxe, coated finish, or in black denim, brings a little more edge for nights out, especially when paired with the right top and accessories. And dark-wash denim always looks crisp and sophisticated, even when paired with this playful silhouette.

Styling

Once you’ve selected a pair (or two), think about styling. A tucked-in T-shirt tones down the dramatic silhouette, while a crop top in a loud print plays up the retro vibes. If the aforementioned cocktails are calling, pull out a pair of wedges (the bell-bottom’s natural shoe partner) and a luxe camisole or corset top; and for a workplace look that’s the perfect balance of casual and chic, tuck in a slouchy silk button-down shirt and add a pair of leather slides.

No matter your style preference, there’s a pair of groovy-chic jeans out there for you. Keep on scrolling to shop some of the best bell-bottom jeans Amazon Fashion has to offer.

The cotton and polyester blend features a touch of spandex for flexibility and stretch, while timeless details like the versatile medium wash, mid-rise, and the extra-wide flare will look incredible with everything from T-shirts and sneakers to silky camisoles and heels (add a dash of Parisian flair to your flares with a blazer). These are jeans you’ll keep for years to come.

Enthusiastic review: “BellBottoms are impossible to find in a store these days. I looked online and found these and I am super impressed. They fit great and look amazing. I will def buy again!!”

These Button-Fly Bell Bottoms With Edgy Ripped Knees

Perfect for anyone who’s a little more rock n’ roll than country, this pair of bell bottoms features a wide, statement-making flare, and edgy details like an exposed button fly, high rise, black wash, and ripped knees for some statement-making oomph. With classic five-pocket styling and cotton construction that reviewers praise for its comfy stretch, you can pair these jeans with a leather jacket and heels for instant attitude. Don’t love the distressed look? You’ll find a few rip-free styles in this listing, too.

Enthusiastic review: “These touch the ground wearing flats, and have great stretch so are very comfy! I have worn them two days in a row and they held their shape so I didn't get that annoying stretch out shape I get with the more expensive jeans.”

These Levi’s High-Waisted Flares You’ll Have Forever

Even if you’ve already got a pair of Levi’s jeans, you’ll want to add this pair to your collection; they have the sort of timeless details one expects from the classic denim brand. These have a high rise and a close fit through the hips and thighs, but the flared legs are a refreshing departure from your standard straight-leg or skinny jeans. In spite of the slim silhouette, the cotton, polyester, and elastane fabric has enough stretch to prevent this pair from ever feeling restrictive; if your favorite pair of skinny jeans and some ’70s flares had a love child, this pair would be it. The black shade pictured is particularly polished, but you have three blue washes to choose from, too: dark, medium, and light with subtle distressing.

Enthusiastic review: “These fit really well. They're very soft, aren't constricting, are really comfortable, and I feel good in them. That rarely happens might I add. They do gap just slightly in the back, but shouldn't be an issue.”

A Pair Of Popular Bell Bottoms With Cute Patch Pockets

How cute are the patch-front pockets of these bell bottoms? It’s the sort of sweet, retro detail that would pair so well with a whimsical printed crop top. These feature a medium rise and a classic medium wash, plus a flare that’s wide enough to make a statement while still being workplace-appropriate. Thousands of reviewers love that not only do these jeans have style, but with a little spandex blended into the cotton and polyester fabric, they’re also comfy.

Enthusiastic review: “These bell bottoms were everything I hope for when I order something as temperamental as jeans. They do have a good amount of ‘stretch and give’ that they formed to my thighs, butt etc., but still had the flair at the bottom. I literally took them out of the package, slipped them on, and immediately took them into my closet as ‘keepers’.”

These Pull-On Bell Bottoms With A Comfy Elastic Waistband

There’s no reason to sacrifice comfort for style (or vice versa) with these mid-rise bell bottoms. They feature a sleek, pocket-free flat front and a rich indigo wash, but with an elastic pull-on waistband, you get dreamy comfort, too. Made of a blend of cotton, polyester, viscose, and elastane, this pair features two back pockets, with a subtle V at the waistline that nods to the early aughts (show it off by tucking in a luxe button-down and a pair of stiletto pumps, while you’re at it). The flare of this pair is more subtle, so if you’re feeling a little flare-shy, this could be the pair for you.

Enthusiastic review: “I was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit. The jeans looked as nice as jeans with a zip fly and button waist but didn't dig in. I have pretty bad stomach issues and can't stand any pressure around my midsection but these were comfortable even after sitting in a car for 2 hours.”

Either way, Bella Hadid would surely approve.

A Pair Of Coated-Denim Bell Bottoms That Are Worth The Splurge

Also Nice: These Durable, Fleece-Lined Jeans With A Flared Hem

With a wide flared leg, this pair of jeans by classic brand Dickies is a fresh take on the utilitarian trend, featuring a unique plaid flannel lining that’s both cozy and stylish. A relaxed fit and high rise combine with 100% cotton denim for a pair of jeans with serious staying power. Wear these with a cozy sweater and loafers when the weather turns chilly, or with your Wellies to do some yard work — that durable cotton denim can take a beating, and the flannel will keep you super warm when you’re out in the elements. Keep in mind that since these won’t have the give of a pair with elastane or spandex blended in, so size up if you prefer extra room.

Enthusiastic review: “These jeans are lined with flannel and they are exactly what I was looking for to keep warm. I live near the windy city of Chicago,where it is cold @ 8 months out of the year, so when going outside walking the dogs in winter months, these jeans keep you warm. [...] The quality was very good and they are a great deal on Amazon, I think. I purchased another brand that was quite a bit more expensive than these jeans, and I think these are even a little bit nicer quality than they were. So for the money they are a great buy! I would def definitely recommend these!”
