From the BBP site: Our take on a classic style with a super flared leg! Our Bell bottoms have a high waist and elastic at the back of the waist for more flexibility in sizing. Super wide flared leg. Extra wide 3/4" belt loops for a little vintage touch. No pockets in front so the silhouette stays in tact but our signature big pockets in back as well as a key loop on front. There's a lot of room in the hips on these pants but similarly to our trousers-- the extra room is designed to drape well and look good on those with or without wide hips. Made with our signature 9oz American-milled 100% cotton twill. Worn once- they are absolutely stunning, just not quite my style! In perfect condition, hand washed once. Of note- I tend to wear a size L or XL in this brand and purchased a size M - it is extremely form fitting and curve highlighting! But if you are a true M these will likely be a more comfortable fit.
