boot cut

Jeans accommodating footwear

Boot cut describes pants or jeans that fit snugly through the thigh and flare slightly below the knee, creating enough width at the hem to fit over boots.

The style emerged from Western wear and became mainstream fashion: boot cut jeans, boot cut trousers.

The flare is subtler than bell-bottoms.
