Comments left:	It's important to note that, like lots of styles from the late 60s to mid-70s, men's and women's bell bottom jeans were identical in cut and color. And in the 70s, we didn't use the term bell bottoms to refer to just any pant with a wide or flaring leg; bell bottoms meant only pants/jeans that were fitted from hip to knee and then flared from the vicinity of the knee to the floor. They were truly in style and popular from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, peaking about the middle of that period. Naturally faded denim, not pre-destroyed like in the 2000s, was the most common, and popular details I remember included orange topstitching, rainbow topstitching, beige leather or beige vinyl piping, colorful embroidery, patchers, studs and grommets, triangular gores/inserts in the bell/flare, etc. Some of the ones in the late 60s/early 70s sat as low on the hips as the low-riders popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
