pegged pants

Narrow-ankled slacks

Pegged pants are trousers that taper sharply toward the ankle, creating a fitted or tight leg opening.

The style involves taking wide-legged pants and rolling or pinning the cuffs to achieve a narrow silhouette at the bottom.

Popular in 1950s greaser culture and revived periodically since: He cuffed his jeans into pegged pants before heading to the sock hop.
