pantalón

trousers

noun pahn-tah-LOHN Rare

Usage Note

Pantalón is typically used in the singular in Spain (un pantalón) even though the garment has two legs, whereas in parts of Latin America and in older usage pantalones (plural) is standard. In English this parallels 'trousers' (plural) vs 'a pair of trousers'. Pantalón vaquero or vaqueros is the common word for jeans in Spain.

Examples

"Me compré un pantalón azul marino para la entrevista."

I bought navy blue trousers for the interview.
