boot-cut

Jeans over footwear

Boot-cut describes pants or jeans that fit snugly through the thigh and knee, then flare slightly from the calf down.

The widening accommodates boots worn underneath: boot-cut jeans.

The style emerged from Western and workwear traditions but became mainstream fashion, offering a middle ground between straight-leg and flared cuts.
