Trousers

Trousers are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately. They are a fundamental part of Western dress, and their usage has spread globally.

Trousers typically feature a waistband, a fly or other fastening mechanism (such as buttons or zippers) at the front, and may include pockets. The length, fit, and style of trousers vary significantly depending on fashion trends, cultural norms, and intended use. Variations include straight-leg, flared, skinny, cropped, and many others.

Historically, trousers were considered specifically male attire in many Western societies. However, since the mid-20th century, trousers have become widely accepted and worn by people of all genders.

The material used to make trousers can vary greatly, encompassing fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen, denim, corduroy, and synthetic blends. The specific material often dictates the formality and suitability of the trousers for different occasions.
