Name of the Pants...from the 70's I think?

Question

I wanna call them parachute pants, but I'm not quite sure. I think they were used during the 60's/70's era. They're really tight around the thigh area, but then they open up really big at the bottom. I guess they are parachute pants. I dunno. Correct me if I'm wrong will ya. I wanna use it for my costume.

Answer 1

Bellbottoms. They open up like a bell at the bottom. Its true, its not parachute pants- thats '80s

Answer 2

Parachute pants weren't really tight anywhere....they were loose, made out of parachute material in bright colors with a lot of pockets...they were from the 80's. Bell bottoms were more the 70's they were tight up top and very wide at the ankle, like our boot cut or flare. Not too much of a difference, I think just a bigger bell....

Answer 3

they were parachute pants but they were from the 80s. MC Hammer made them famous. So they're also called Hammer Pants.


Sorry, I was thinking something COMPLETELY different.


Bell bottoms is correct.

actually, these are parachute pants. They don't flare at the bottom really (I had a pair once...) They are just kind of baggy down toward the bottom. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of bell bottoms.
