bloused
Draped with fullness
Bloused describes fabric that puffs out loosely, gathered at the edges but billowing in between.
A shirt bloused at the waist is tucked in but pouches over the belt.
Military uniforms are often bloused—trousers gathered into boot tops, sleeves into cuffs: He bloused his pants over his combat boots.
The effect suggests controlled volume rather than tight fit.
