Boot cut

Imagine your pants! Boot cut is a shape that the bottom of your pants can have. It means that the leg of your pants is a little bit wider at the bottom than it is at the top. It got its name because it's a popular style to wear with boots because the wider shape at the bottom can fit over your boots. It's like putting a sock on your foot - the sock gets wider at the ankle to fit over your foot, and that's kind of what boot cut pants do for your boots!
