The word you're looking for is bell bottoms.

Cheegum,
Werent bell bottoms in the mid 70s? Are you talking about that period, or are you talking about some resurgence of the fad in the 90s?
I dont remember men wearing bell bottoms in the 90s. Maybe women were into it once again. Please clarify that part for everyone.
Funguy,
Was the mullah shalwar the same as dhoti shalwar, as someone else was also asking. I think not; so what was the dhoti shalwar fad?
No the Mullah shalwar was called so because it was a regular shalwar with comparitively large paincha’s just tied higher than normal so that the ankles (in some cases upto 5 inches) would show i.e. maulvi style. The dhoti shalwar looked just like a dhoti just that all the openings were sewed up to prevent…well everything that can happen to an unstitched dhoti 
FF, admit it. You still prance around in your polka dotted bell bottoms. 
^ Polka dots on Femme would make her so Yummy.
Yes I have a couple of polka dotted items Matty, but there is nothing bellish about them ;)
I agree FG. I look rather desirable.
I always shopped at H&H and Rasheed Sons for my school uniforms. Ours was the Blue pants, blue ties and white shirts. My brother and I both had our shirts and trousers tailored for that "edge" we were looking for during the mid 90's. Then we starched our shirts for school every week. We had 3 shirts for the week. Then we would restarch them. My brother was an extreme he even tried starching his own shirt cuz he was not satisfied with the quality of dhobi's starch work.
Trousers had huge painchay actually I was the first one in my school who took this drastic step, my brother who went to a different campus introduced it there too.
Then came the tight-hip hugging jeans, the essence of those jeans were they had to be tight around your thighs. As skinny as Karachi people usually are, it was a difficult task to achieve. Anyway this friend of mine and I had our names written on our own pair of jeans!
I still have nightmares about those fashions I participated in during my teen years. And now Teenage-goths roam the northern america I understand their misery too. And I will still understand their misery when they are older, and they get chills thru their spine thinking about the fashionista of their time. I literally tore all my pictures where I am standing wearing my fake-Rayban sunglasses, tight jeans and flower sprinkled shirts.
