What does "fat pants" mean in fashion slang?
The term "fat pants" refers to loose, comfortable trousers worn for comfort rather than style, often associated with weight gain, relaxation, or post-meal ease. The structure is informal and literal, combining "fat" (implying looseness or comfort after overeating or weight change) with "pants." It is commonly used casually or humorously to describe elastic or roomy clothing chosen for comfort over appearance.
Examples
I put on my fat pants for Thanksgiving dinner.
