A fly (UK: flies) (short for flyers) is a strip of material covering an opening on the crotch area of trousers, closed by a zipper (often), or buttons. On men's garments, the fly always opens on the wearer's right side; on women's garments, it may open either on the left or on the right. [1]
A fly is a covering over an opening join concealing the mechanism, such as a zipper, velcro, or buttons, used to join the opening. In trousers, this is most commonly an opening covering the groin, which makes the pants easier to put on or take off. The opening also allows men to urinate without lowering their trousers.

During the 1980s and 1990s, one-piece pants or shorts outfits that had back zippers or occasionally buttons were popular. These posed the problem that the wearer would be required to reach in back to unzip the garment simply for bathroom usage. Only those who were capable of reaching in back to zip/unzip these garments themselves could wear them.
In 1911, Harry David Lee made the first bib overalls, made of pants with pockets with a bib and straps over the shoulders. [3] In 1927, Lee's developed a "hook-less fastener" and created "button-less" overalls. Zippers replaced buttons. [3] Soon after, suspender buttons were traded in for belt loops to attach over-the-shoulder straps. [3]
