Work trousers and cargo trousers

Work trousers are made from cotton canvas or a hard-wearing twill, with reinforced seams and deep pockets, and they are often worn loose with the hem turned up. Cargo trousers add large patch pockets on the thighs. Workwear trousers are usually cut on men's or unisex sizes, which gives a straight, roomy leg.

Track pants and shorts

Track pants are made from nylon or polyester, with an elastic waist and often a zip or ribbed cuffs at the ankle. Shorts come in denim and cotton, from cargo shorts to denim shorts.
