bootcut

Jeans over cowboy boots

Bootcut describes pants or jeans that flare slightly below the knee, allowing the leg to fit over boots: bootcut jeans.

The silhouette is narrower than bell-bottoms but wider at the ankle than straight-leg styles.

The cut emerged from practical Western wear and cycles in and out of fashion.
