Definition of trouser suit

trouser suitnoun

bộ quần áo

/ˈtraʊzə suːt//ˈtraʊzər suːt/

The term "trouser suit" originated in the mid-20th century as women began to break free from traditional gender roles and expectations in clothing. Prior to this, women's suits typically consisted of a skirt paired with a blazer or jacket. However, in the 1960s and 1970s, a new style began to emerge as women started wearing pantsuits, which quickly gained popularity due to their practicality and comfort. The word "trouser" itself is derived from the Old French word "trous," which means "cuts" or "openings." This term has been in use since the 14th century and initially referred to the openings in pants or breeches. The word "suit" has a longer and more complex history, with origins dating back to the 14th century as well. Initially, it referred to a set of clothing that was specific to the wearer's rank or station in society, such as a courtier's suit or a judge's suit. Over time, the term came to mean a matching set of clothes, typically consisting of a jacket, pants, and shirt. When women began to wear pants as part of their suits, the term "trouser suit" was coined to differentiate it from the traditional skirt suit. Today, trouser suits are a common and practical option for women in many professions, from politics and law to business and finance. The word itself speaks to the evolution of women's clothing and the continuing fight for gender equality in all aspects of life.
