short trousers
Legs exposed below
Short trousers are pants that end above the knee—what Americans call shorts.
The term is chiefly British and somewhat old-fashioned, often associated with boys' school uniforms or childhood generally: Back then, boys wore short trousers until they were twelve.
The phrase still in short trousers suggests someone is young or inexperienced.
