bell bottom

bell bottom
Noun
pl: bell bottoms

This term describes a specific silhouette of trousers characterized by a dramatic flare. While it can be used as a noun to refer to the garment itself, it is frequently employed as an adjective to describe the style of pants (e.g., bell bottom jeans). The term carries a strong nostalgic association with the 1960s and 1970s counterculture and disco eras.

Because these garments are worn as a pair, they are typically used with the quantifier "pair of" in singular contexts, though the noun itself is countable. It is distinct from "bootcut" pants, which have a much more subtle widening at the ankle.
