The term "highwaters" refers to pants that are too short, ending above the ankle and exposing socks or skin. The structure comes from the idea that the pants sit "high" above where they normally should fall, as if avoiding rising water. It is commonly used in casual speech to describe ill-fitting or intentionally cropped trousers, often with a slightly mocking tone.
