What are "trews"?
Trews are traditional Scottish pants that resemble slim-fitting pants, typically made from wool or tartan fabric and worn by men and women alike. Originally worn as a form of legwear by Highlanders, trews have evolved into a modern-day fashion statement, worn for both formal and casual occasions. They are typically tailored to fit snugly around the waist and hips, with a tapered leg that can be worn tucked into boots. Trews are often associated with Scottish dress and are commonly worn as part of a kilt outfit or with a tweed jacket.
