slim-fit pants

Body-hugging leg garments

Slim-fit pants are trousers cut narrower through the thigh and leg than traditional styles, fitting closer to the body without being as tight as skinny jeans.

The term distinguishes them from relaxed or regular fits: I switched to slim-fit pants when baggy styles went out.

Common in both casual and dress pants.
