DIFFERENT TYPES

OF TROUSERS
 TROUSERS/PANTS
Trousers are an item of clothing worn on the lower part of the body from the waist to the ankles, covering
both legs separately (rather than with cloth stretching across both as in skirts and dresses).

The word trousers is used in the UK and Ireland, but some other English-speaking countries such as Canada,
South Africa, and the United States can also refer to such items of clothing as pants.
