no one who has a stash of 70s era bell bottoms can squeeze into said bell bottoms
because their bottoms have probably belled |

View Quote You can tell by the look on his face he is proud to be modeling that particular outfit. Looks like he’s wearing 2 bowling pins, or try to show up that girl with a 100 pound leg. |

They never looked good on anyone, and they don't look good now.
Boot cut is about as much flair as jeans need. |

So long as chicks stop with the mom jean abominations, I don’t care about the bottoms.

Gave 'em up when we switched outta dungarees. My niece was in college late 90's and I gave 'em to her. She loved 'em.

For the fourth time since the late 60s, which I was a little tyke. Came back in the mid/late 70s after being out of style for about two years. I almost figured out why they looked hot on girls, but wasn't quite there yet, damn close though. They came back in the 90s, and then I knew. Had a girlfriend, later wife that wore the ones with the really low rise hips. Damn. I knew, I knew. She was 18, I was in my thirties, and all the girls her age ( college age) were absofreakinglutely hot. They came back again in the mid 2000s, but weren't as popular.

If we can revert to 70s fashion by the time I am in my 70s, I am going to be the biggest pimp dressing baller old man ever.

I have been wearing Wrangler pro rodeo 13mwz for the last 40 years. I don't think I will change now.

Fuck that, just bring back the mini skirt. Wait a minute, not sure this is a good idea with all the land whales out there.

not quite bellbottoms, but I have an uncle that stubbornly clung to his angel flight pants all through the 80s and 90s.
he's in his 60s now, so he has finally retired them. |

Main reason I went into the Navy was because they wore bell bottoms

Quoted: Wait... so we're done with boot cut? I can't keep up. View Quote There was a thing called Flairs, then small bells. Both were far superior to what we now call boot cut. The small bells were usually Levis but the Wranglers back then were larger at the opening than today's boot cuts. They were way easier to get over any type of boot and didn't ride up when you sat down. |

I used to wear those in the 60s. I still got some Wembley ties kicking around, but no airplane-collar shirts, and the bottoms of those jeans got mega-frayed long before the rest of them barely got some wear.
But let me know when London Fog comes back in style. |

I’d rather wear those than got thru the parachute-pants years of the 1980s.

Quoted: No, no they're not. View Quote Yeah, they are. Sigh… I just mentioned to my wife this morning that the kids (HS) need to pick a decade already. Dropped my youngest daughter off, she’s wearing what I’d consider 80’s preppie wear. Jeans, Nikes, pink Izod. Girl right in front of her was wearing big bell bell bottoms, and a lacy hippy shirt and hair in ring braids. Girl behind her was a pink haired fattie in pajama pants and sloppy hoody. What I consider basic 2000’s kid wear. I guess everything is in style now? |

They went out of style for me after the first time they got caught in my bike chain and I ate shit.

Saw a perfectly curvy MILF at the grocery store yesterday wearing bell-bottom denim jeans. Very sexy.
Dudes and bell-bottoms? Nope... |

Jesus no!
I was a kid in the 70's and even back then at an early age I knew the shit we wore was goofy af. |

Quoted: They never looked good on anyone, and they don't look good now. Boot cut is about as much flair as jeans need. View Quote This. Bell bottoms are stupid, but they're still 1,000 smarter than skinny jeans. Whoever came up with skinny jeans should be choked to death with one of the pant legs. |

Quoted: If I had to choose between the two, I'd take the antithesis of the bell bottoms. The 80's tuck roll. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9c/61/46/9c6146f54452371372c35565c847c6d4.jpg View Quote White or black t-shirt, blue jeans & chuck T's are a style that was & always will be cool. Jungle boots a good substitute for chuck's too. |
