Bell-bottoms

These are a specific style of trousers that widen from the knees downwards, creating a bell-like shape of the trouser leg. Originating in the 1960s, they became a fashion trend for both genders, initially in London, then spreading to Europe and North America. Typically made of denim, they flare out from the bottom of the calf, with slightly curved hems and a circumference of 18 inches at the bottom of each leg opening.
