Ah, the USDA's prophecy of a #wheatpocalypse 🌾🔮—as if the world wasn't already in crumbs. But no worries, you can't read the article anyway, so just imagine the smallest harvest since bell bottoms were cool. 🙃🚫

@n0icz Я так боялся их возвращения, и, самое странное, подкрались они довольно незаметно, хотя клёш и незаметно — невозможное сочетание. #streetwear #bellbottoms

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Do you remember how, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, bell‑bottom trousers were just about the only thing you could buy? Even suits came with bell‑bottoms. Some brands tried to soften it by calling them “flares,” but everyone knew what they were. That was simply the way of things. Thinking about it now, I can almost hear a Bee Gees tune drifting in from somewhere. And then, almost overnight, the whole bell‑bottom craze went quiet and vanished. At least that’s how it felt to me. I was a soldier then and mostly lived in uniforms, but I owned a few pieces of civilian clothing. Looking back, the fad was here for a moment and then—poof—gone.
In the 1990s I went to a semi‑formal gathering of Sergeants Major at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The post straddles the Tennessee–Kentucky line, though the post office sits on the Kentucky side. But back to fashion. At that gathering, old suits emerged from closets, and suddenly there they were again: bell‑bottom trousers, wide‑collar shirts, even platform shoes. Small platforms, thankfully—not the kind with goldfish swimming in the soles. It was the natural result of a room full of middle‑aged men who rarely wore civilian clothes, especially the dress‑up kind. They simply reached for whatever was hanging in the closet, unaware that the world had moved on.
Over the decades, bell‑bottoms have resurfaced now and then in women’s fashion, only to fade again. I suppose the fad could return in full force someday. That’s up to the new generations.

Good morning. 🐦🐦🐦

Do you recall wearing bell bottom trousers in the 60s and the 70s? They were pretty much the norm. I recall when they first became popular in the 60s, but I don't recall the end of that ultra popular fashion trend. It was just like poof suddenly they were gone. I think maybe the end of disco spelled doom for that particular trend. Oh, I know they are still present a bit in women's fashion, but it's not the same, is it? Do you know that I once had a headband, and a long leather belt that tied on my right hip and hung down the side - in retrospect that was pretty silly. I wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack back then but amazingly, I wasn't the dullest either.
