Trousers
has been the most favourable dress to be put on by both man and women, although
in reality trousers had been men’s outfit since back in the days. Now days it
this dress is vital for both sex. Women can put on trousers as the official
outfit, casual dress and even on outing occasion example going to a party,
wedding or different event of the kind. Lets trace and see when did women start
to wear trousers?
Back in 1850’s an early feminist named Amelia
bloomer popularized the trousers for women whereby in those days were referred
as bloomer. Bloomer was invented by Elizabeth Smith Miller of New York together
with Fabrizia Flynn the wife of an Italian ambassador to South Wales of those
days.
From there women were able to do
several activities easily compare to when they used to put on only skirts and other
dresses. Women could ride bicycle effortlessly when they are with bloomers although
in those days this outfit was mostly put on by high class and middle class society

Then
during the late of 19th century western women started to wear
trousers and blouses for industrial work and in World War ll women wore their husband
trousers while they took on jobs.
Trousers
were regarded as work wear were by women who worked in ranches put on when
riding, also when man went to wars women who dressed on their husband trousers
to work in forms, mining and in factories.
Later
on actresses of those days like Dierich and Katharine Hephurn were photographed
in trousers. This made a couple of fusionist to introduce long trousers for
women as a fashion item.
Healthy
wise, apart from trousers being preferred by many women of today, because they
put them in official matters and mostly in business arena but doctors recommend
that women who are struggling to conceive should avoid wearing trousers and put
on skirts.
Coming to Religious aspect there are several religions
that prohibits women from wearing trousers example Orthodox Jews believe that a
space between a women’s legs is considered to be a private area and therefore
must be covered by a garment also they say since trousers were originally
created as man’s garment women are therefore forbidden to wear them.
Orthodox
says it is biblically forbidden by tracing the biblical verse from Deuteronomy
22:5
“The
women shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man neither shall a man put
on a women’s garment”
In
Muslim countries like Sudan they have laws which prohibit women from putting on
trousers.
Also
some of African leaders never allowed women to put on trousers in their entire
leadership example the one who was the president of Malawi the late Kamuzu
banda until 1994 where his rule ended.
Generally
from health issues and religious aspect wearing of trousers for women now days
has been such a vital manner. This fashion is on the next level from bell bottom
jeans to skin-tight legging, sweat pants, carpris pant, leather pants and even
plaid pants.
Women
who put on trousers should make sure they wear a right type of trouser to the
right place example not wearing a skin tit to official activities that’s not
fashion instead it’s a violence against fashion and on other hand African women
should consider their taboos and respect to society and try to put on trousers
which are courteous.
