Заполненный текст: In those days, trousers with a wide leg below the knee were practical for many reasons: for example, they were easy to roll up when cleaning the ship or to take off when they got wet. In the sixties was when flared trousers became popular. Many singers, like Sonny and Cher, wore them. At that time, young people made their own flared trousers because shops weren’t selling them; in the seventies, you could buy them in almost every shop. Hardly anyone chose a different style of trousers during this decade. There were a few times when flared trousers came back, for instance throughout the 1990s and in 2015. Although fashion designers, like Balmain and Gucci, presented them during fashion shows, they didn’t become as popular as in the 1970s.

Перевод: В те дни брюки с широкими штанинами ниже колена были практичны по многим причинам: например, их было легко закатать, когда чистили корабль, или снять, если они намокали. Именно в шестидесятые годы брюки-клёш стали популярны. Многие певцы, например Сонни и Шер, носили их. В то время молодые люди шили брюки-клёш сами, потому что магазины их не продавали; в семидесятые их можно было купить почти в каждом магазине. В течение этого десятилетия почти никто не выбирал другой фасон брюк. Брюки-клёш возвращались несколько раз, например в течение 1990-х и в 2015 году. Хотя модельеры, например Balmain и Gucci, представляли их на показах мод, они не стали такими же популярными, как в 1970-х.
