These kinds of casual pants are popular with sports men, as well as hikers; most wearers are male, but pregnant women also find them useful.
Khaki originated with the US army, and it began appearing in the general population about 1950.
Originally it referred to one colour of trousers, but now the word is associated with one particular cut of cloth, commonly casual trousers.
It is popular with the sporting and exercise crowd, as the cut provides generous movement, and is comfortable to wear.
Khakis allow plenty of activity, and are good for martial arts enthusiasts, as well as hikers and other walkers.
Jeans, the most popular kinds of casual pants, moved from being general work pants to casual pants in that era of change, the 1950’s.
