trousered

Clad in slacks

Trousered means wearing trousers, or having legs covered by trousers: a smartly trousered gentleman.

The word appears mostly in British English and often in deliberately formal or humorous contexts.

In British slang, trousered can also mean drunk, or to have pocketed something—especially money obtained through questionable means: He trousered the bribe without hesitation.
