ボトム

noun

bottom; lowest part

A katakana-style word for the bottom or lower part of something. In plain everyday Japanese, 底 is often more natural for the physical bottom of an object.

• このバッグはボトムが革かわで補ほ強きょうされている。

  The bottom of this bag is reinforced with leather.

noun

lower garment; bottoms

Fashion and retail term for clothing worn on the lower body, such as jeans, slacks, skirts, and similar items. Often contrasted with トップス.

• 白しろいトップスに黒くろいボトムを合あわせた。

  I paired a white top with black bottoms.

• 秋あき物もののボトムを一いち枚まい買かいたい。

  I want to buy a pair of bottoms for autumn.

noun

hem; lower edge

Apparel-use sense referring to the lower edge or hem area of trousers, a skirt, and similar clothing. 裾 is the ordinary Japanese word; ボトム sounds more like fashion or product-description wording.

• このスカートはボトムにフリルが付ついている。

  This skirt has a frill at the hem.
