The fashion of pants started in the late 80s with surge of use in belly-bottom pants, which was made
famous in Nepal by international bands and Indian movies. Then after, parallel pants became the new
trend with all youth banking on it to make their fashion statements. Then came choose-pants, those
that are fitting the body from hips to bottom of legs. Even the youngsters in schools started wearing these
types of pants and some schools had to ban such pants to be worn by students to maintain discipline.
Then came the time for quarter/half pants. These days boys still wear carwash/monkey wash pants and
girls are more into shorts and one pieces. Some pictures of belly-bottom, parallel and choose pants are below:
