clamdiggers

Mid-calf casual pants

Clamdiggers are casual pants that end mid-calf, longer than shorts but shorter than full-length trousers.

The name evokes wading into shallow water to dig for clams without getting your pants wet.

Also called clam diggers or capri pants, though capris tend to be slightly shorter and more fitted: She wore clamdiggers and sandals to the beach.
