Recasting industrial designs to make trendy street wear is a time-honored tradition, but there's a fine line. With clothes like carpenter jeans, cargo pockets, and Carhartt work wear, it's hard to strike the balance between hipster, trying too hard and being mistaken for an actual professional craftsman on their lunch break. Could you imagine a friend going out in a pair of coveralls and actually pulling it off?Continue reading Are You Gruff Enough to Rock the Boilersuit - Yea or Nay?

The growing backlash to skinny jeans might reach a tipping point in 2009. Siwy -- one of our favorite denim brands -- just debuted a 24" bell bottom jean called the Chloe.

While designer Michelle Siwy has always offered flared-leg denim, this pair takes the bell to a whole new level. (Flats are definitely not an option when you're rocking these.)
Siwy isn't the first to rebel against skinny and straight-leg denim. 7 For All Mankind, for example, has also been offering some 60s-inspired silhouettes for women who have tired of too-tight jeans.
We think it's high time denim designers started experimenting with flare again. But is the world ready for pants with a two-foot wide opening? Only 2009 will tell. Keep reading to check out some celeb examples of the trend.

Katie Holmes took a lot of fashion flack this year for wearing pegged jeans. But just a couple of months ago in New York, she scored style points by taking a very different denim risk. These bell bottoms put a modern spin on the classic shape with flattering, slimming seams.

Katie has more in common with Penelope Cruz than she does with her husband Tom. The Spanish actress was a belle in bell bottoms when she donned a slouchy pair to an appearance on Good Morning America this summer.

The supermodel -- who can get away with wearing anything, really -- recently rocked a pair of psychedelic ultra-flares on a Brazilian runway. (We'd save this very tight, very tie-dyed version for a long night in Ibiza, though.)

Victoria Beckham has been ditching her usual skinny jeans lately and making the scene in bell bottoms. Here, she put a 1970s spin on the bell at the May launch of her denim line, dVb, with menswear inspired pants and a dramatic blouse.

Blumarine gave the classic denim a snow-bunny spin for this season, pairing it with puffer vests and metallic accessories. There's nothing dated or difficult about this take on the bell.

T-Boz and Chilli took the super flare to a whole new level at this summer's BET awards. But their over-the-top look came across as a bit too costume-y. (Their feet apparently agreed and went into hiding for the night.)

Iconic "It" girl Edie Sedgwick (here with Andy Warhol) rocked a glam, downtown version of the bell bottom in its heyday at the 1971 Mod Ball in New York City. (Yes, those are silver lame.)

When it comes to articles of clothing that define the awesome eighties, the Members Only jacket absolutely must be on the short list. Just the name alone signifies the 'too cool for school' attitude that we associate with Generation X. Since its resurrection last year, Members only has been working its magic with a re-issued jacket. Now, they're hoping to build on that success with the launch of a denim line.Continue reading Members Only Launches Denim Line - Ladies Only
