legans

Legans refers to a type of pant that ends at or slightly below the knee. They are a style of menswear that became popular in the early 20th century, often associated with sportswear and casual attire. Historically, legans were a practical choice for activities requiring freedom of movement, such as tennis or cycling. Their design typically features a wider leg than shorts but offers more coverage than a standard short. The material and specific cut can vary, with some legans being made from lighter fabrics for summer wear and others from heavier materials for cooler weather. In contemporary fashion, legans are sometimes seen as a retro or vintage item, though similar styles of knee-length shorts or capri pants exist in modern clothing lines. The term itself is less commonly used today, with "shorts" or specific garment names like "Bermuda shorts" often taking its place for similar lengths. Legans are generally considered a casual garment and are not typically worn in formal settings.
