Pants can be short or long, depending on how much they cover the legs.
Pants is a concept that derives from the French language and refers to a garment that is part of clothing . The pants cover each of the legs separately and have their support at the waist.
For example: "My pants tore at the crotch," "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 knee or even the calves. Depending on their length, the pants can receive different names (which also vary according to the geographical region): shorts , Bermuda shorts, fisherman or capri pants and others.
Pants Features
A pair of pants 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, money , etc.).
It is important to note that there are pants for women and men. Generally, the cuts and design vary to best adapt to the anatomical conditions of each gender .
