Trousers are a piece of clothing that covers each leg separately, typically worn from the waist down to the ankles. In American English, they're usually called pants, while British English speakers stick with trousers. Either way, they're the same thing: a garment with two leg holes, a waistband, and often pockets.

Trousers became standard clothing for men in Western countries during the 1800s, replacing knee-length breeches. Today, people of all genders wear trousers in countless styles: jeans, khakis, dress pants, sweatpants, and more.
