trousers

Description

Trousers are two-leg weaves that claim to properly conceal the lower body while slyly incorporating the mercilessness of sizing and the constrictions of social norms. From business to casual attire, they shift in appearance, silently chronicling humanity’s evolving body shapes as a durable consumer good. Fading like myth with each wash, they leave wearers torn between public and private realms. Misfit that they are, trousers offer a perpetual fitting-room purgatory and can turn confidence into false bravado.
