Retro Chic

Nothing says retro chic like these high waisted bell bottoms - they look like a love letter to the 70s, but with a thoroughly modern twist. The striking silhouette’s got the best parts of those disco days, but this time they’ve managed to stay well clear of daggy. These jeans have an unapologetic wide flare from the knee down, and the high rise is cut to make legs look endless, even for those who are more shortstack than supermodel.

The structured denim has just enough stretch to keep things comfy and to stop them sagging after a long day out. The contrast stitching highlights the shape, and the patch pockets add a quirky throwback detail with their shiny metallic buttons. Another thing that’s especially fun about these jeans - they’ve got a real patchwork feel to them. There are statement seams running down the length of both sides and the front. It’s hardly reminiscent of all those old hippie mends though - it still feels crisp.

There’s another row of bright buttons on the placket, which adds a subtle vintage glint to make it pop. The extra high rise means that the waist is snug and fitted, while there’s plenty of drama in the hips (an hourglass effect that looks great on everyone). They’re made from 65% cotton and 35% polyester which means they’re practical and easy to take care of too.

If you like your denim with a little personality but don’t want something that’ll look daggy in under ten years’ time, then these are going to be your new wardrobe staple.
