The words trousers and pants are pluralia tantum, nouns that generally only appear in plural form—much like the words scissors and tongs, and as such pair of trousers is the usual correct form. However, the singular form is used in some compound words, such as trouser-leg, trouser-press and trouser-bottoms. [8]
Straight-leg: Jeans which are the same width at the leg opening as they are at the bottom of the leg, making for a slightly baggy fit. [58] Boyfriend: Often with a mid-low waist, boyfriend jeans have a baggy, "borrowed from the boys" fit. [57] Flared, or bell-bottomed: Often fitted around the thigh area, then become wider from the knee down. [59]
When the pleats open towards the pockets they are called reverse pleats (typical of khakis and corduroy trousers) and when they open toward the crotch, they are known as forward pleats. Utilitarian or very casual styles such as jeans and cargo pants are flat-front (without pleats at the waistband) but may have bellows pockets.
Corduroy is a textile with a distinctively raised "cord" or wale texture. Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between them. Both velvet and corduroy derive from fustian fabric. Corduroy looks as if it is made from multiple cords laid parallel to each other. [1]
