There was a time when the flower power seventies, Woodstock, dum maro dum moments and the psychedelic prints, patterns and colours ruled the fashion world. From Mumtaz to Neetu Singh, Shabana Azmi to Zeenat Aman, Bette Davis to the daring CHARLIE’S ANGELS, everyone sported the flower power seventies back then, through the eighties and the nineties as well. One of the quintessential styles in the seventies was the running amok fashion statements of the bell-bottoms. The new-age avatar being palazzo pants.

One of Charlie’s Angels
We loved the style mantra of the CHARLIE’S ANGEL threesome beauties. High-waisted bell-bottom pants with a tucked in shirt and satchel to carry along was the trend back in the seventies. Afro hair or perms, feather cut or leaving it loose and straight, we leave the look to you!

Bright and cuffed
For a pool party where the norm would be to run into the waters wearing a bikini, should you feel not to be the run-of-the-mill lass and yet would want to spread your vibrancy around, think monotone fashion from head to toe. Cuffed bell-bottom pants in the same colour as your top with white borders brings in the chic touch.
