What is a bootcut?
As the name suggests, the boot cut is said to be a silhouette of pants invented by cowboys to match their tall boots, and is characterized by a silhouette that flares out from the knees down so that the hem does not lean. It is said that the flared silhouette pants first became popular in Japan in the late 1960s. At that time, in addition to “bootcut,” they were called “bell-bottom,” “pantaloons,” “pants,” and so on, depending on their subtle silhouette and nuances, but today they are often collectively called “flared pants. When the boot-cut silhouette pants became popular a long time ago, famous examples were ” FARAH’s Hopsack Pants,” ” Levi’s 517,” ” Wrangler’s “Ranchardless Pants ” and so on. The models mentioned above have also attracted renewed attention over the past few years under the influence of the revival boom. Now that tapered silhouette pants have become the orthodox style, many people may find flared silhouette pants refreshing.
Flared jeans with a shallow crotch like True Religion, which represents Y2K fashion, and flared pants made of velour material are also rapidly gaining popularity. The above are topics that are gaining momentum, especially among ladies, and should be kept as reference information.
