bell-bottom
Leg that flares
Bell-bottom describes pants that fit snugly at the thigh and flare out dramatically below the knee: bell-bottom jeans, bell-bottom trousers.
The style was popular with sailors (whose wide-legged pants could be rolled up easily) before becoming a fashion icon of the 1970s.
Usually plural: She wore bell-bottoms to the disco.
