tapered pants

Ankle-hugging leg wear

Tapered pants narrow gradually from the thigh to the ankle, creating a fitted silhouette at the leg opening.

The style contrasts with straight-leg or wide-leg cuts: He prefers tapered pants with his sneakers.

Common in both casual and dress trousers, the taper can be subtle or dramatic depending on the cut.
