bottomwear
Clothing below waist
Bottomwear is clothing worn on the lower body—pants, shorts, skirts, and the like.
The term appears mainly in retail and fashion contexts, especially in South Asian English: The store's bottomwear section includes jeans and trousers.
It pairs with topwear to divide a wardrobe into upper and lower garments.
