| In our daily life, people wear trousers each season. And you can see trousers attach with hangtags in market. Trousers are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately rather than with cloth stretching across both as in skirts and dresses. The word trousers is used in the UK and Ireland, but some other English-speaking countries such as Canada, South Africa, and the United States often refer to such items of clothing as pants, a shortening of the historic term pantaloons. Australia is known to differentiate between pants and trousers. Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower than the knee depending on the style of the garment. In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower body clothing for males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Since the 20th century, trousers have become prevalent for females as well. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports, and also often by children. Trousers are worn at the hips or waist, and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt, or suspenders. These kinds trousers are often need to attach to hangtags. Leggings are form-fitting trousers of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex. There is some evidence, from figurative art, of trousers being worn in the Upper Paleolithic, and there were not hangtags at that time. An example are the figurines found at the Siberian sites of Mal'ta and Buret'. Trousers first enter recorded history in the 6th century BCE, with the appearance of horse-riding Iranian peoples in Greek ethnography. At this time, not only the Persians, but also allied Eastern and Central Asian peoples such as the Bactrians, Armenians, Tigraxauda Scythians and Xiongnu Hunnu, are known to have worn them. Trousers are believed to have been worn by both sexes among these early users. |
