bell bottoms
Wide-legged pants
Bell bottoms are pants that fit snugly at the waist and thighs but flare out dramatically below the knee, creating a bell-like shape at the hem.
They became iconic in the 1960s and 1970s, associated with hippie culture and disco fashion.
The style originated from naval uniforms, where the wide legs allowed sailors to roll up their pants easily.
She found some vintage bell bottoms at the thrift store.
