Ορισμός και Σημασία του "pedal pushers"

What are "pedal pushers"?

Pedal pushers are a type of women's pants that were popularized in the 1950s and 1960s as casual fashion item. They feature a straight leg that ends just below the knee, creating a cropped look that is similar to capri pants. The name "pedal pushers" comes from their original intended use, which was for women who rode bicycles, as the shorter length of the pants would prevent them from getting caught in the bike chain. Pedal pushers can be made from a variety of materials, including denim, cotton, or spandex, and are often worn with flats or sandals for a casual, summery look. They have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years as a retro-inspired fashion trend.
