An attempt to create a happy medium between disco-era bell-bottoms and New-Wave spandex that failed miserably. They are usually high-waisted, full-seated, and quite narrow at the ankle (their character trait). Still sold in stores like Wal-Mart, Mervyns and Kohls and worn mostly by suburban moms who don't watch Desperate Housewives or Sex in the City.

Running for exercise and picking up trash you find along the way. It's good for the body, mind, soul, and environment! Started in Sweden but is making its way to the U. S.
