Trousers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Beige-colored trousers with a high waistline, featuring a button fly with seven small buttons and six small buttons on either side at the waist. The trousers have a wide waistband, two side pockets, and tapered legs with small slits at the bottom. A row of six small eyelets are on either side near the bottom hem. The trousers are made of a lightweight fabric, likely cotton or linen, and have a smooth texture. They are laid flat on a white surface, with the front side facing up.
