Bell bottoms were worn by sailore because they were easily rolled up to keep them dry while scrubbing the deck or working in wet spots of the ship. Once your clothes got wet back then they took a long time to dry.
-That is not the reason. Everything in the military is for practical purposes. The bell-bottom cut trousers were designed that way so in the event that a sailor goes over-board, the trousers are easier to remove without getting your shoes stuck in wet pants.
Well the first answer was completely wrong and that's not how you spell sailor. But yes the second answer is right but the reason why you want to take your pants off while floating in water? It is because the ends of the bell bottom trousers can be tied off once the are removed from your body and used as a inflatable life preserver. That is why they wear bell bottoms.
