1990 fashion

Bell-bottoms
In 1996, women's bell-bottoms were reintroduced to the mainstream public, under
the name "boot-cut" ("boot-fit") trousers as the flare was slimmer. By 1999, flare
jeans had come into vogue among women,  which had a wider, more exaggerated
flare than boot-cuts (boot-fits). The boot-cut (boot-fit) style ended up dominating
the fashion world for 10 years.
Women's boot-cut jeans are tighter at the knee than men's, and flare out from knee
to hem. Men's styles are traditionally straight-legged, although the pants came in a
more flared style in the early and mid 2000s, but this was optional. The bell-
bottoms of the 1990s can be distinguished from the flare or boot-cut (boot-fit) of
the 1990s and by the tightness of the fabric at the knee.
