Quick fact. Do you know how bell-bottom pants appeared? According to fashion historians, the word bell-bottom has French roots and means “bell.” This form of trousers appeared in the 1810s in the American Navy primarily due to practicality. When climbing onto a yardarm, mooring to a sloping shore, or cleaning the decks of a ship, the sailors easily rolled them up so as not to wet their trousers. If you found yourself in a shipwreck on the open sea, you could quickly get rid of such trousers, since they widened from the hip itself, and the fastener was located on the side of the belt. It was enough to unbutton your trousers, quickly dangle your feet in the water and, due to the width of the flares, they would slide off without touching your boots. By the mid-19th century, bell-bottom trousers disappeared from naval uniforms, only to return at the beginning of the 20th century. True, only naval officers, mainly students of the naval corps, wore them. Sailors were strictly forbidden to alter government trousers and wear bell-bottoms. In Russia, from the first months of the February Revolution, sailors began en masse to alter their trousers to a style with a bell at the bottom, which sometimes acquired ridiculous, cartoonish dimensions. Flares entered everyday fashion as an element of modern style in the 1970s, and since then, over the following years, they have periodically returned again.
