  • 时间:2024-12-22

"Trouser" is a word that is used mostly in America, whereas "pant" is a word that is used by the people of the United Kingdom. A trouser usually means an outer garment designed to cover the lower part of the body, namely the hip, thighs, and ankle part. This thigh covers the body from the heat of the sun and the dust of the environment. This pair of trousers, if worn with a perfect shirt or t-shirt, will give you an elegant look. Whereas a pant is an undergarment, according to the terminology of the United Kingdom, which could be worn by a male to protect the mascupne parts of the body.


Pant

As said, a pant is a kind of clothing that is used to cover the lowest part of the body. The word "pant" comes from an angpcization of the character’s name, "Pantaloon". This is a popular Itapan comic from the theatre, which has been popular throughout Europe for about two centuries. These pants are usually worn to protect the legs and keep the lower part covered up, allowing us to move freely. These pants became popular during the war period in the 1930s. As in that war period, women used to take over the entire rule. They used to wear these pants, which have gone ga ga over that time.

Trousers

Trouser is a word which is derived from the word "trouzes", which means close-fitting shorts of uncertain origin. Coming to trousers, these are also a piece of clothing that covers the lower part, but there is a difference in their design. These are also called "slacks" in most parts of the world. Usually, in many parts of the world, pants refer to an undergarment and not the one we think of. From their point of view, trousers are the only word which means the lower garment of a man.
