Hello, everyone.!
I hope you are enjoying the last week of September.
I am currently obsessed with flare jeans and fascinated with the 50s, 60s, and 70s fashion trends.
When did bell bottoms start? "Bell-bottoms, pants with legs that become wider below the knee, were an extremely popular fashion during the 1960s and 1970s. The belled or flared legs on bell-bottom pants were originally a functional design, worn by those who worked on boats since the seventeenth century."
The large legs allowed the pants to be easily rolled up out of the way for such messy jobs as washing the decks. In addition, if a sailor fell overboard, bell-bottom pants could be pulled off over boots or shoes and the wide legs inflated with air for use as a life preserver.
Enjoy and thank you for visiting.!!!
