Anyone else glad bell bottom jeans are back in style?

I'm 54 and really can't do skinny jeans. I've been wearing wide flare bell bottoms for the last couple years and a few pairs are now well-broken in, faded and ragged at the bottom just like the ones I wore when I was 18.

For one thing it's possible to switch jeans without taking off my shoes. For another,finally my cankles have a little breathing room.

I'm 48,and wore bellbottoms years after :hey went out of style, until the last pair I could find no longer fit (late junior high).

Wore them until they were literally falling apart. And, yes, I was having trouble fitting in them, too, LOL.
