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.
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.
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.
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.

Also, cut very low, below the hips.
They were so comfortable. I miss them.
Believe me, the 70’s ones did too.
Yeah they were huge when I was in school, but I’m pretty sure the first pair are JNCOs

Yes, but we called them “boot flairs.”

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, I do remember a flash around then. It seemed to come and go pretty quickly.
This is why my pants were wet in the 90s
Holy wow. They just took 70’s pants and turned the dial aaall the way up, didn’t they?
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
