While the wearing of pants, slacks, trousers,
leggings, dungarees, and such, have been
the accepted fashion for western men over
the past 400 years, it is really an idea
that developed in the Renaissance Period
and solidified in the Romantic Period. Over
the centuries, it became accepted that western
men wore bifurcated garments (leggings, then
pants/slacks) and women wore unbifurcated
garments (dresses and skirts). The strict
conventions of the Victorian and Edwardian
Periods reenforced the conservative fashions
that had developed in the preceding centuries
and anyone choosing to freely express themselves
was quickly labeled a deviant and subjected
to ridicule and gossip
