Definition of
Pants
Pants It is a concept that derives from the French language and that refers to a garment that is part of the outfit. The pants covers each of the legs separately and has its support at the waist.
For example: “My pants tore at the crotch height”, “My girlfriend gave me black pants for my birthday”, “Put on your pants and get ready, the visitors are about to arrive”.
It is possible to find pants of different lengths: they can reach the feet, the ankles, the height of the knee or even the calves. According to its extension, the pants can receive different names (which also vary according to the geographical region): shorts, bermuda, fisherman or capri pants and others.
A pair of trousers always has at least three openings: one for the left leg, another for the right leg and a third for the waist. The usual thing is that they have an additional opening, although with a closure or zipper, at the height of the genital area. They may also have pockets to store various objects (keys, moneyetc.).
It is important to note that there are pants for women and for men. In general, the cuts and design vary to adapt in the best way to the anatomical conditions of each gender.
Likewise, it should not be overlooked that in many activities one type or another of pants is required to be able to carry them out safely and comfortably. In this way, for example, skiing requires that the garment adequately protect the person from the cold and possible damage from falls. That is why it is necessary that it be long, that it has thermal padding, that it has a waterproof membrane and that it offers breathability.
according to material and to the design, the pants can be an elegant and formal garment (like the pants that, together with a jacket, form a suit), or a garment worn on everyday occasions (the Jean either cowboyhe jogging).
In addition to all of the above, we have to expose the existence of the culottes. As its own name indicates, it is a perfect mix between both garments. Thus, apparently it is a skirt but, in reality, it is a pair of pants.
It should not be overlooked either that there are various colloquial expressions that use the term pants. Thus, for example, we find the following:
• “Drop your pants down”. It is used to record that someone has given in some aspect or has ended up accepting something that, in principle, he was not willing to tolerate and that is precisely not beneficial to him.
• “Tie the pants”. In some countries, such as El Salvador or Costa Rica, this verbal phrase is used colloquially to establish that a person has armed himself with courage and courage to face a situation.
• “Wear the pants at home”. In Spain this expression is widely used to talk about sentimental relationships. Thus, it is said that the one who wears the pants at home is the member of the couple who orders the most and who is always in charge of making the decisions.
