Your jncos may be frayed and soaked, but the Slim Shady LP just came out and you're off to the theater with friends to see The Matrix.

But there was a cool mammoth on the back pocket
Bellbottoms were literally designed to avoid getting wet by being easy to roll up...ms bell or perhaps mr bottom is rolling in their grave.
We called it soggy bottoms! In the winter as it dried sometimes it would leave a salt line 🤣

The solution here was to live in a desert. I only had issues when visiting snow covered places or anywhere it rained.
I still want them, with my hair I could whip up cool Disco Stu cosplay.
1999? Did bell-bottoms have a come-back in 99? I remember a brief spurt, but the heyday of bell bottoms was in the 70's.
No, these are not bellbottoms. They're just pants with huge legs, there were shorts like that too. It was a fad in the late 90s
We never referred to them as bell bottoms but by their brand name; Jncos. And they were rather popular for a subsect of teenage/young adult culture in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Jncos are absolutely not bell bottoms. Bell bottoms are tight at the top.
They did at my school, bell bottoms were huge in 99-2000 but died a quick death around 01.

Yeah they were huge when I was in school, but I'm pretty sure the first pair are JNCOs
bell-bottoms have a come-back in 99
Kind-of. Think Austin Powers, Spice Girls, TLC, Oasis, Doc Martins. The late 90's definitely had some aspects that looked like a cultural revival of the 1960s that came out of slacker/ dropout culture.
I don't know that I'd call them bell-bottoms like the ones in the 70s (with skinny/normal legs, then large at the bottom). Pants in this style in the 90s and early 00s were really baggy all over and frequently dragging on the ground.
Also, cut very low, below the hips.
They were so comfortable. I miss them.

Yes, but we called them "boot flairs."
