3. IMO bell bottoms weren't ridiculous. They were the fiashion of those times. Fashion changes and evolves.

There's a look now that's similar to bell bottoms called flares. Back in the late '60s and '70s most young people had at least a pair in their wardrobe.

Back then as poor student we got them at the Army/Navy store...Navy work pants, denim bell bottoms. They were inexpensive and coming into style.
