SLACKS Meaning and
Definition
-
Slacks, typically used in the plural form, are a type of casual or semi-formal pants that are loose-fitting and relatively relaxed. They are often made from lightweight fabrics and feature a straight or wide-leg cut. Slacks are commonly worn by both men and women as an alternative to more formal trousers or jeans.
These pants are designed to be comfortable and allow for ease of movement while maintaining a professional appearance. Unlike jeans or leggings, slacks do not hug the legs tightly or accentuate their shape. Instead, they hang straight from the waist with a slight drape, giving a more relaxed and polished look.
Slacks are often worn in office settings where a business-casual dress code is observed. They are also a popular choice for situations that require a more polished appearance, such as interviews, meetings, or social events. Slacks can be paired with various types of tops, such as blouses, shirts, or sweaters, depending on the desired level of formality.
The term "slacks" originated in the early 19th century, deriving from the notion of trousers that were loose and not tightly tailored like other types of pants. While they may be considered less formal than tailored dress pants, slacks still convey a sense of professionalism and style, making them a versatile choice for a range of occasions.
